The Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) is the world’s largest professional PR body. Operating in 82 countries and representing more than 35,000 practitioners. Our teams from across Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific work with professionals around the world to co-ordinate our operations across six continents. We also manage ICCO, the umbrella body for 41 PR associations and 3,000 agencies around the world. We share industry best practice and promote all aspects of public relations and communications work around the globe.

All PRCA members are bound by a professional charter and codes of conduct to demonstrate that they work professionally, efficiently, and to the highest ethical standards.
