Edelman Company Description
If image truly is everything, then Edelman may be one of the most indispensable companies around. The PR firm is the largest independent agency in the industry, conducting work for heavy hitters such as General Motors and Microsoft. With more than 45 offices worldwide, the company provides its services through 15 practices (including financial communications and investor relations, corporate affairs, diversity marketing, litigation, and public affairs) covering five industries. Edelman has fiercely guarded its independent status despite the still-growing trend toward consolidation. Chairman Daniel Edelman owns the company. It bought Silicon Valley PR firm A&R Partners (now called A&R Edelman) in 2006.
