DHL Doubles its Press Release Distribution in Africa
CAPE-TOWN, South-Africa, May 22, 2014/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- APO (African Press Organization) (http://www.apo-opa.com), the sole press release newswire in Africa and the global leader in media relations relating to Africa, today announced its renewed and extended contract as exclusive supplier for press release wire distribution in Africa with DHL (http://www.dhl.com), the global market leader in the logistics industry with activities in 51 markets in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Commenting today, Megan Collinicos, Head of Advertising & Public Relations for DHL Express Sub-Saharan Africa, stated:
"I would like to commend the APO team on their superior customer service and quality of their media monitoring. We see our partnership with APO as a strategic one and their full service offering, right from translations, through to dissemination and compilation of the online coverage report is effortless. The coverage received is not only impressive in terms of volume, but also the number of markets it touches. DHL Express Sub-Saharan Africa serves 51 countries and territories in Africa, and traditionally, it was challenging to gain coverage in a number of markets. We have a great partnership with APO which complements our extensive Pan-African presence. We have recently extended our partnership with APO, which is testament to their professionalism and ultimately, their superior service delivery".
