Briscoe PR has officially become a corporate affiliate member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR).
This makes the award-winning Fareham-based agency the only one with this status in the Portsmouth and Southampton areas, and one of only three in Hampshire.
Being a member of the CIPR signifies a commitment to high standards and ethical practice, according to the institute's code of conduct.
Director Kevin Briscoe said: "Having been a fellow of the CIPR for 10 years now, I know just how much weight and influence accreditation has.
"I want our clients to feel confident that they are dealing with a team of PR professionals who carry out work ethically and to the highest of standards."
In 2023, Briscoe PR won a gold award in the Best Event category at the CIPR's PRide Awards, and has previously been named the most outstanding PR agency in the South of England.
