January 1, 2020

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Business Development Resources (BDR), the SeaTac-based provider of business management coaching and training for home service contractors and distributors in the U.S. and Canada, has selected Ripley PR as the company’s full-service public relations provider and Agency of Record.

“We chose Ripley PR for one simple reason: They work in our industry every day,” said Bruce Wiseman, owner and president of BDR. “Not only do they partner with a variety of B2B companies in the home service space, they have also worked with dozens of home service contractors across the nation. Ripley PR has the advantage of understanding the unique challenges of our industry and they have a track record of creating messaging that resonates with business owners.
