Cleantech PR Firm Antenna Group Partners With Greenpoint PR To Expand Footprint Into Europe

In a move that expands its presence and capabilities to the European market, Antenna Group (www.antennagroup.com), a public relations firm dedicated to clean and renewable energy technologies, announced it has entered into a strategic global partnership with Greenpoint PR (www.greenpointpr.com).

The two agencies are recognized specialists in cleantech. Like Antenna, Greenpoint PR has an established reputation for supporting early-stage-to-mature cleantech companies. The agency's client base spans from renewable energy, energy efficiency, green IT, transportation and waste to ecology, sustainable communities, packaging and green building. For more than a decade, Antenna has been dedicated to clean and renewable energy technologies.

"Antenna Group is widely recognized within media, financial and utility circles as the 'go-to' firm for renewable energy technology public relations," said Michael Saxton, CEO of Greenpoint PR. "This partnership not only provides our clients with greater access to media, government and investors in North America, but it also enhances our capabilities through the integration of Antenna people within our consultancy team."

The partnership provides Antenna | Greenpoint clients with a global network of more than 50 cleantech communicators with offices in Washington, D.C., New York City, New Jersey, San Francisco and London, as well as presences in Paris, Madrid, Warsaw and Cape Town.

"Over the last decade, we've seen even our early-stage clients come out of the gate with global sales strategies," said Keith Zakheim, CEO of Antenna Group. "Since then, this trend -- the globalization of energy -- has continued, with the sharing and customization of regional incentive structures, feedstock and materials bases, manufacturing capacities and technology innovation. At Antenna, we understand that to continue on our path as one of the fastest-growing and largest agencies dedicated to cleantech, we must extend our capacity to support our clients' growth initiatives."
