Edinburgh-based The Communications Business has been appointed to IPREX, one of the world’s leading organisations of independent communications agencies.

As its exclusive Scottish partner, the IPREX link-up will provide the agency’s clients with international capability across 60 markets in Europe, South Africa, the Americas and Asia.

Denise Hannestad, a partner in The Communications Business, said: “We have been exploring our options for providing clients with an international capability for some time. While there are several organisations and informal groups claiming to offer cohesive international networks, IPREX provides a perfect fit with our own internal culture, focus and commitment to delivering real results. Through The Communications Business’ own London facility and our UK IPREX partner, Surrey House, the consultancy is now positioned to service clients across the United Kingdom and beyond.”

Since its launch in 1995, The Communications Business has developed an expertise in working with clients across the technology, financial and professional services sectors.

Ralf Weber, IPREX President worldwide and general manager of the Germany member agency, ME Werbeagentur GWA, added: “In The Communications Business we have found a partner which meets our high professional standards. IPREX partners are selected and admitted to our network following a rigorous assessment and the appointment recognises the reputation the consultancy has developed over the last ten years.”

Founded in 1983, IPREX is a worldwide network of independent communications consultancies, owned by its partners, with 62 offices across 28 countries. The European division of IPREX serves clients in 18 countries. IPREX partners employ more than 850 staff and is responsible for annual client budgets of more than $110m.
