FLEISHMAN-HILLARD BECOMES WORLD’S LEADING PUBLIC RELATIONS FIRM
Firm’s $342.8M in 2000 Worldwide Revenue Vaults It Past Four Global Rivals to No. One Slot
ST.LOUIS, April 25, 2001 — Driven by 2000 revenue growth of nearly 61 percent, Fleishman-Hillard Inc. has become the world’s leading public relations firm, according to new figures released by the Council of Public Relations Firms.
Fleishman-Hillard’s $342.8 million in 2000 worldwide revenues leapfrogged the agency past four rivals – Burson-Marsteller, Hill & Knowlton, Weber Shandwick, and Porter Novelli – to take the top spot, according to the Council. The Council’s figures also confirmed that the St. Louis-based firm retained its position as the largest public relations agency in the United States, with 2000 U.S. revenues of $266.8 million.
"We’re certainly proud of this milestone, which is a tribute to the outstanding work of the worldwide Fleishman-Hillard team," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John D. Graham. "But it’s important to note that we never set out to be the biggest agency in the world, only to be the best – through smart, dedicated people; top-quality client service; and a strong culture based on teamwork, personal commitment, and the highest ethical standards. Those are the major factors that have driven our growth, and will continue to drive it in the future."
