The deal aims to strengthen PR ONE’s global competitiveness by combining its local market expertise with PROI’s international network, supporting both foreign companies entering Korea and Korean firms expanding overseas.

Angela Scaffidi, global chair of PROI Worldwide, said PR ONE’s market insight and track record align well with PROI’s global strategy.
