“PRPro is a next level for our clients in building and managing their corporate reputations,” said Tim Symnth TBWA East Africa.
African Laughter who developed the app at a cost of Sh10 million, have promised that future versions of the app will be able to monitor other social media platforms including Google+, blogs, Pinterest, and Foursquare
TBWA East Africa boasts of high profile clients in Kenya that include Kenya Airways, Standard Bank, VISA, Aquafresh, Heritage Insurance, and Pepsi.
The app runs on Andriod, Blackberry and iOS.
