PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - Aug 31, 2016) - DPK Public Relations (www.dpkpr.com), a full-service firm specializing in reputation management, crisis communication planning and response, spokesperson training and content marketing, has established a Pacific Northwest headquarters in Portland, Ore. The firm's Portland office will serve clients throughout Oregon, Washington and Northern California. DPK Public Relations Founder and President, Daniel Keeney, APR has relocated and will guide the new office.

The firm continues to serve clients in Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth and throughout Texas through its existing team of PR experts operating under Keeney's close guidance.

"The Portland area is perfect for our expansion because it is fertile ground for growing businesses, and it is home to some of the world's most recognizable companies," Keeney said.

The impacts of reputation on an organization are far-reaching, meaning every organization needs to treat its reputation as a priceless asset. According to Corporate Responsibility (CR) Magazine's annual corporate reputation survey, more than 85 percent of American women and nearly 70 percent of American men would not accept a job offer from a company with a bad reputation. The survey found the bad behaviors most harmful to a company's culture and reputation include the following:

• Public exposure of criminal acts;
• Failure to recall defective products;
• Public disclosure of workplace discrimination; and
• Public disclosure of environmental scandal.

DPK Public Relations can help clients to strategically protect, preserve and enhance their reputation. And, if something goes wrong, DPK Public Relations is ready to respond. The firm has guided PR response to numerous notable crisis events, ranging from fatal construction accidents to international product recalls. DPK Public Relations gained international attention for its PR response to the high-profile fire and explosion in the town of West, Texas that left 15 people dead and hundreds of buildings damaged or destroyed.
