About
PRConsultants Group (PRCG) is an exclusive nationwide network of 50 highly-regarded, award-winning senior-level public relations and communications consultants working in every sector of every major U.S. market. All 50 consultants are considered ‘members’ of PRCG.
PRCG has a unique business model where if you’re in need of a small team, or even a large team, to develop and execute your communications and public relations across the United States, we’ll custom-build / tailor the PRCG team that’s the right for you to help your business achieve its goals. PRCG members execute projects for a bevy of national and international brands focusing on strategic planning and creative execution in media relations, social media communications, promotions, crisis communications management, event development and management and much more.
Due to our unique ‘network’ business model, we’re able to offer our clients competitive rates.
The idea of PRCG started in 1992 when 7-Eleven, a national convenience store retailer, needed public relations counsel and consultants in major U.S. markets to announce their store remodels and the launch of their new products. 7-Eleven hired a few of our current PRCG members for the project based on their experience, knowledge of the markets and a positive, can-do attitude. As additional consultants were added to serve new markets for this client, other companies became attracted to this network model and recognized the value of tapping into an experienced, cohesive network-type of group; seasoned public relations experts around the country. It became apparent that this public relations consortium was unusually effective and through the collaborative effort, the model became extremely successful for local and national public relations programs and campaigns.
In 2000, PRCG was formally organized as a network-model of small agencies and consultants. At that time, additional communications and public relations consultants were invited to join PRCG based on their industry reputation, expertise, background and client work. And ever since, each PRCG member continues to be hand-selected and invited into the network based on a formal interview process where certain criteria needs to be met.
Today, PRConsultants Group now has consultants covering more than 50 of the top U.S. media markets and we’re set up to help service both big and small companies with all of their public relations, communications and social media communications needs.
