Leeds-based integrated PR agency Prohibition has been voted into The Worldcom Public Relations Group, the leading global partnership of independent public relations firms.
The move follows a rigorous multi-stage tendering and vetting process, and supports Prohibition’s ambitions to leverage EMEA growth opportunities, while providing its clients global best practices and innovation.
Worldcom is the world’s leading partnership of independently owned public relations firms, with 110 offices employing more than 2,000 professionals across 45 countries and six continents. In total, Worldcom partners reported combined revenues of $350 million last year from around 4,500 clients.

Will Ockenden, Prohibition’s co-owner and director said: “We are constantly looking to grow and evolve as an agency, and Worldcom presented an exciting opportunity to connect with some of the best independent agencies in the world, and in doing so, share innovation, and learn best practices outside of our immediate market.
“The partnership also gives us the opportunity to better service our existing client base by having a tried and tested global referral network to support their expansion ambitions. We’re delighted Worldcom recognised our excellence as an agency and are very much looking forward to becoming a member and driving the next phase of our growth.”

Prohibition brings a progressive mindset to our partnership, not only in the delivery of best-in-class public relations services but in harnessing the latest technologies that support effective communications.”
