Competitive differentiation: We are differentiated from our competitors in four distinct ways:
  • A different vision – We don't care about being the largest PR firm, just one of the very best.
  • A distinct position – Beaupre combines the best of both worlds – the door-opening clout, experience and global presence of a large firm with the intensive personal service, flexibility and senior practitioner involvement of a small firm. We are owned by Omnicom (NYSE: OMC), the most successful communications holding company in the world. Beaupre has a very proven international capacity.
  • A unique philosophy – Beaupre is focused on helping its clients achieve their ultimate business objective endgame. This includes getting acquired, IPOs, increasing market share and generating more sales leads. This is how clients measure Beaupre's success.
  • A better structure – Instead of relying exclusively on overburdened account executives, we enhance our core account teams with a dedicated Speakers Bureau, Writing department and Customer Goldmining professionals. This delivers more results to Beaupre clients.
