How We Manage Global Reputations

Global Reach with Worldcom

As a partner of the WORLDCOM Public Relations Group, the world’s largest partnership  of independently owned public relations firms, Standing Partnership can help you achieve true global standing. Comprised of more than 100 partner agencies, Worldcom collectively serves national, international and multi-national clients in 93 markets, across five continents, seamlessly, while retaining the flexibility and client-service focus inherent in independent local agencies. Clients of partner firms have on-demand access to PR experts worldwide, and the confidence that, as their company develops more complex communication needs or expands into new markets, their business will be taken care of cost-efficiently and effectively, through Worldcom partners -- always led by the firm that has earned their trust.

• Standards: Companies and organizations worldwide have confidence in the capabilities of Worldcom partners, for partner firms are held to the organization's stringent quality standards, which are administered through peer reviews -- a proprietary process that ensures that standards are adhered to over the long term.
• Differentiation: A critical differentiator of Worldcom is that partners invest in relationships with one another, (as opposed to multi-nationals, affiliations or networks) and thus deliver value through the use of collective intelligence, offering a seamless approach with the same intensity to communications planning and programming.
• Partner Expertise: Worldcom partner agencies, comprising of some of the world's top talents across diverse industries and PR sectors, occupy leadership positions in the world's major public relations professional organizations and are thus seen as opinion leaders and influencers in their business communities.
• Cost Efficiences: Worldcom partners uniquely offer cost efficiencies to clients by tapping partners with niche expertise, or in other geographical regions, on a per-need basis only, rather than incurring year round overhead costs (as in multi-national agencies).
• Culture: Worldcom partners are nationals in the country in which they do business and, as such, have cultural sensibilities invaluable to clients with global interests.
• Global Scope: With 2,000 + employees and revenues of $220 million in 2009, Worldcom is the largest (founded 1988) public relations partnership in the world, with a global scope and perspective unlike any other PR body today.
