Brendy Barr Communications Selected to Join National Network of PR Specialists
January 16, 2006—Brendy Barr Communications, LLC has joined PRConsultants Group, a nationwide group of public relations and marketing specialists that services the needs of national accounts in local markets. PRConsultants Group can be reached through its web site at www.PRConsultantsGroup.com.
The organization links carefully selected professionals, who are either with smaller agencies or are sole practitioners, to work together on a national basis, as well as lead accounts on a local level. In its sixth year, PRConsultants Group had done work for such companies as Barnes&Noble.com, 7-Eleven, Blockbuster and Levi’s. The group was founded by three PR specialists based in Las Vegas, San Diego and Phoenix.
"As experts in each of our markets, we can provide clients who access PRConsultants with personalized and targeted service with the broad reach of a national agency," said Brendy Barr, President of Brendy Barr Communications. "Each member is a seasoned practitioner, so clients are confident in our abilities and impressed with our focused approach."
The group concept was introduced by Karen Raskopf, Blockbuster Inc. senior vice president of corporate communications. She created an informal version of the group while with 7 Eleven, Inc. in 1995, and due to its success, established the network at Blockbuster Inc.
"The network has been invaluable," Raskopf said. "Thanks to each person's local knowledge, media relationships and expertise, our messages are carefully fine tuned to appeal to our specific markets. Its success is a positive reflection of the professionals involved."
PRConsultants Group has representatives in major U.S. markets and every state in the country. It services a wide range of clients including retail, finance, high tech, e-commerce, business to business, real estate, non profit, travel and tourism, entertainment, professional services and food and beverage.
"The group has been working together informally for years and has provided excellent service to a wide range of clients," Barr said. "As a formal entity, we are better capable of reaching a larger audience in need of quality, localized service."
