Singapore, 30th July 2008 – In support of winning the global media relations contract from technology player, Avocent, leading Silicon Valley PR agency, Trainer Communications has appointed Priority Consultants to provide the local support within Singapore. The 12-month contract is a first-time collaboration between the two companies who are both established and leading players within the technology arena.

Commenting on the partnership, Susan Trainer said, “There was an immediate synergy between our two companies as we both believe in offering performance assurances with a constant emphasis on accountability. This has made Trainer especially attractive to cost-conscious companies and in terms of a long-distance partner relationship, it forms a very solid foundation for successful collaboration”.

Avocent is the latest addition to the Priority Consultants technology practice which has included leading names in the hardware, applications and professional services sectors.
“Priority Consultants and Trainer share a similar philosophy built on measured results and service excellence — two hallmarks of a sound approach to building sustainable customer relationships,” said Jane Prior, Chief Executive, Singapore-based Priority Consultants Group. “Such a performance-driven collaboration delivers lasting value to client organizations looking for international support and, more importantly, provides sound counsel to help them make smart decisions in global markets.”
