multi-country PR and communication campaigns, today announced that it has
strengthened its US presence by merging its US business interests with
Rainemakers, a San Francisco based public relations agency. Rainemakers,
founded by Debra Raine in 2009, has quickly established a strong roster of
technology, consumer tech and innovation clients. Raine will head up BondPR
International's US business.
For US clients, this move gives a strong domestic PR capability plus the
option to have seamless and scalable international campaigns without the high
cost associated with traditional multinational PR firms or the hassles of
managing multiple agencies. For international clients, this move provides
access to a deep bench-strength and service offering for US public relations
campaigns including consumer, corporate, digital, IR and technology
capabilities.
In January 2010, BondPR announced it was to set up 10 regional hubs
around the world, All 10 are now active and managing campaigns. BondPR is
currently active in 50 countries worldwide working for 40 clients including
Regus in 30 countries across three continents, and Bay Area headquartered
Autodesk in five markets across Central and Eastern Europe.
Tom Burgess Group CEO BondPR said "We looked at number of options in San
Francisco. Rainemakers was clearly the best match in terms of client service
and business philosophy, with a complementary client base. Debra and her team
have the resources in place to provide great service to domestic clients as
well as having a clear understanding and experience of international markets,
so our clients have one point of contact to talk to the world."
Debra Raine said. "I founded Rainemakers on a service model that does
away with the complex and costly practices of traditional agencies. Senior
people serve clients from strategy through execution. This approach delivers
the highest quality of service, value and results. This is why we have been
able to drive sustained growth in tough economic times. Bond PR has a similar
service and business philosophy. We are a natural fit. I'm excited about the
international service we can now offer clients; and the bigger business
opportunity ahead now that Rainemakers is a Bond public relations company."
Prior to setting up Rainemakers, Debra was GM Western Region and Head of
global business development at Waggener Edstrom Worldwide, EVP Bay Area at
Porter Novelli Public Relations, and EVP/Head of Asia Pacific for Copithorne
