Edelman named as PR consultancy of the year
Edelman has been named as the Australian PR consultancy of the year by PR analysis site The Holmes Report.
The achievement comes less than a year since CEO Michelle Hutton joined the agency from Hill & Knowlton.
According to The Holmes Report:
“Edelman galvanized its presence in Australia in 2010 by hiring Michelle Hutton, one of the best respected practitioners in the market, away from Hill & Knowlton. Under Hutton’s leadership, the Australian operation—which includes offices in Sydney and Melbourne—was one of the fastest-growing in a generally impressive Asia-Pacific region last year.
great win for the rejuvenated Edelman.
wow – nice one Edelman!
Thanks 2paclives – great name by the way! 🙂
I resigned H&K last year and took on Edelman before M.Hutton took over. Since then all the Edelman talent that won our pitch have slowly left and now I feel like I’ve rehired H&K against my will.
But Edelman doesn’t have an office in NZ? Or is David Brain setting one up?
@The Client – as with any relationship, don’t stay in it if it’s against your will – it’s not beneficial for either party. Awards are certainly a recognition of what the agency has achieved, but it doesn’t mean that it’s satisfying for everyone. Hence I’ve never attempted to have a relationship with Miss Universe 😉
As for Edelman, congratulations on the turnaround! Must be a good feeling in the office.
As for mUmBRELLA – well done on finding a picture of Michelle that looks like her, you should pass your photo skills on to the AFR…
@The Kiwi – David is our lone wolf in NZ. He is based there because that is where his family is. There are no current plans for setting up a NZ Edelman office.
@Jorn – Thanks for your congratulations. Oh and on the pic we kinda liked the one in the AFR – we are still giving Michelle a hard time about it.
@The Client – We highly value all our client relationships. To hear a client is unhappy is something that upsets us. Can I suggest you give us a ring and we can discuss. That will likely bring about the best outcome.
