DPK Public Relations Expands International PR Capabilities, Joins IPR Team

International Public Relations Team Caters to Increasingly Global PR Needs of Clients

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, November 3, 2008 - DPK Public Relations (www.dpkpr.com), a leading independent public relations firm serving businesses throughout Texas and North America, today announced the addition of a new tool to help clients expand into international markets. DPK Public Relations has joined International Public Relations Team (www.iprteam.org) to provide clients access to local media, political, cultural and economic knowledge in markets around the world.

The IPR Team is a global network of independent public relations consultancies established to meet the increasingly global communications needs of businesses. IPR Team members draw on the local knowledge and expertise of partners in other countries to develop and implement strategies that meet their clients' global aspirations.

"I am a big believer that all meaningful relationships are local and IPR Team is the local approach to global communication," said DPK Public Relations President and Founder Daniel Keeney, APR. "Businesses expanding into global markets need to communicate effectively with their customers, prospects and communities, which requires skillful navigation of cultural and language barriers."

With the IPR Team, DPK Public Relations now offers a simple one-stop mechanism for businesses in Texas and throughout North America seeking overseas representation to find suitable consultancies in their target markets. This eliminates the difficulties often associated with identifying and briefing agencies in a foreign country.

Every IPR Team partner is an established, professional public relations firm with a track record of successes in their home country. Clients benefit from their local network of media and business contacts. Each client works directly with a senior consultant, providing the highest level of personal service. In addition to North America, the IPR Team includes public relations firms in key markets in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and Australia.
