NEW YORK, May 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- 5W Public Relations, one of the 15 largest independently owned PR firms in the U.S., has been named PR Agency of Record by Indie Beauty Expo (IBE) for its New York show.

Founded by celebrity esthetician, Jillian Wright, and entrepreneur, Nader Naeymi-Rad, the Indie Beauty Expo was established to help the fast-growing category of indie brands connect with buyers, press and consumers.

"As attendees to previous IBE events, we have always been impressed with the quality of the show and professionalism of the team behind it. We are looking forward to building on this great established base and partaking in IBE's continued growth by further elevating their brand visibility, unique exhibitors and expertise with professional, consumer and business-focused media."

"IBE has grown at an astonishing pace and we plan to continue to expand our platform to provide even greater support to indie brands and the entrepreneurs behind them," said Nader Naeymi-Rad, co-founder of IBE. "As we grow, we need partners who have the experience, expertise and capabilities to help us scale. 5W Public Relations has these."

"From day one, we recognized the vital need to obtain consistent and high-quality press and media coverage for IBE and, more importantly, for our exhibiting brands," said IBE co-founder Jillian Wright.  "This area has always been strategically significant to our business and it is one where we never want to take any chances.
