After a number of years successfully serving the communications
needs of some of Russia's most prestigious organisations through
their offices in Europe, PR Newswire recognised the need to provide

Lisa Ashworth, CEO for PR Newswire EMEA, said, "Russia is an
exciting and rapidly developing market. Through PR Newswire's added

of how to more effectively increase their profile and distribute
messages to their target markets. Furthermore, PR Newswire's global
network will help these organisations establish themselves on an
international level with media and investment communities around the
world."

consultancy sectors with PWC and Weber Shandwick, Alexandre recently

focusing on the Russian market and has an exceptional reputation for
aligning corporate and communications strategies. As well as
supporting and developing Russian clients, Alexandre will be
investigating strategic opportunities and partnerships for PR
Newswire within the CIS regions.

PR Newswire's expansion into Russia and the CIS Market further
emphasises the company's commitment to expanding into high-growth
markets. In recent months, PR Newswire has made significant
investments in markets such as The Nordics, China and the Middle
