Tier One Partners Selected for Membership in Council of Public Relations Firms

Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco, August 29, 2011 — Tier One Partners, LLC, a full-service public relations agency that offers "all senior talent, all the time," today announced it was approved for membership in the Council of Public Relations Firms, an association dedicated to advancing the interests of its 100-plus member firms nationwide, and the profession overall.

Tier One Partners, now in its eighth year, has a distinctive business model. The company was founded by six managing partners, all of whom are seasoned public relations professionals with more than 15 years' experience, who handle every aspect of a client's account-from strategic planning and positioning to pitching and driving high-profile coverage.
