ProNetLink.com Continues International Expansion with Alliance with NetlinQ Group, The Netherlands' Leading Internet Consultancy to Market & Promote ProNetLink.com Throughout Holland
NEW YORK, Dec. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- ProNetLink.com (http://www.ProNetLink.com), the Global Trade Internetwork(TM) (OTC Bulletin Board: PNLK - news), today announced that the Company has finalized a strategic alliance with the NetlinQ Group of the Netherlands for the marketing and promotion of ProNetLink.com to businesses and professional associations throughout Holland. The alliance comes as a result of ProNetLink.com's four-week European marketing mission, arranged by the United States Department of Commerce, in July 1999.
Under the terms of the agreement, NetlinQ's NetPlus division will promote ProNetLink.com through a series of advertising and marketing initiatives including trade show development, national advertising campaigns and introductions to NetlinQ's current roster of clients.
''This agreement is another step in ProNetLink.com's global expansion,'' commented Glenn Zagoren, chairman of ProNetLink.com. ''The NetlinQ Group is an established and respected Internet development company with substantial contacts in the Netherlands' global trade community. The Netherlands is a significant Global Trade region and one of the world's leading countries in terms of Internet development. By virtue of our deal with NetlinQ, we have a unique opportunity to gain market-share and visibility in a key market for ProNetLink.com.''
The NetlinQ Group of Companies is a rapidly growing network, comprised of eight partner firms across the globe: NetlinQ.nl, NetlinQ.de, NetlinQ.us, NetEvents, NetPlus, Coin, PlinQ and RethinQ. Current clients include Amstel Beer International, Lucent Technologies, Volkswagen, Polygram and Eurocard/Mastercard.
While every part of the NetlinQ Group operates semi-independently with its own target group of customers, Internet development, promotion, marketing and advertising is the core of the Company's business. The local NetlinQ agencies focus on online consultation and creation, NetPlus on Internet advertising, NetEvents on Internet courses & seminars, Coin on online corporate communications and PlinQ on audio-visual productions. Additionally, RethinQ offers venture capital for the seeding phase of promising e-businesses.
''We are excited to be working with ProNetLink.com to increase the Company's visibility and performance in the Netherlands,'' noted Bas Seelen, director of NetlinQ's NetPlus division. ''ProNetLink.com offers an intriguing and forward-thinking alternative for active global trade businesses. As a company that prides itself on identifying cutting-edge online business opportunities, we look forward to assisting ProNetLink.com to develop a solid Internet solution for local companies to utilize and improve the distribution of their products and services on a global scale.''
NetlinQ will also develop country-specific content for ProNetLink.com and take part in the production of special programming for PNL-TV, the Internet's first Global Trade news broadcast network (http://www.PNLTV.com). Country-specific content will be available on ProNetLink.com by the end of the first quarter of 2000.
