Detroit-based public relations firm Franco has joined the Public Relations Global Network as its new representative member for Michigan. The partnership follows Franco’s acquisition of Bianchi Public Relations earlier this year, which was the state’s PRGN representative.
“Franco’s membership significantly bolsters PRGN’s strategic presence in Michigan, expanding our network’s capabilities,” says Natacha Clarac, president of PRGN and general director of Athenora Consulting. “Their expertise in sectors like automotive, technology, and manufacturing aligns perfectly with our mission to provide top-tier communication support worldwide.”
The decision by PRGN’s Executive Committee to welcome Franco builds on the legacy of Bianchi Public Relations while leveraging Franco’s extensive industry coverage. As a women-led and owned agency, Franco adds a unique dynamic to PRGN, with CEO Tina Kozak making history as its first female CEO.
“Joining PRGN offers us a platform to collaborate globally with independent agencies while extending our reach for our clients,” says Kozak. “We are eager to contribute our expertise and draw from PRGN’s global knowledge to enhance the value we deliver.”
Franco’s client portfolio spans automotive, technology, economic development, nonprofit, health care, education, and more.
