About

Top-tier global PR network within the Omnicom Group portfolio, competing directly with Edelman, Weber Shandwick, and Burson for Fortune 500 and multinational clients

FleishmanHillard is a premier global public relations and communications agency founded in 1946 in St. Louis, Missouri. With offices in more than 80 cities across 30+ countries, the firm serves Fortune 500 companies, government entities, and major nonprofits across virtually every industry sector. Its core capabilities span corporate communications, crisis and reputation management, public affairs, digital and social media strategy, brand marketing, and employee engagement. The agency is consistently ranked among the top PR firms globally by revenue and industry recognition. FleishmanHillard is a subsidiary of Omnicom Group, one of the world's largest advertising and marketing holding companies. Following Omnicom's internal restructuring in Q1 2026, FleishmanHillard absorbed Porter Novelli, which now operates as a sub-brand within the FH network. This consolidation strengthened FH's capabilities in purpose-driven communications and social impact marketing, areas where Porter Novelli had built a strong legacy. In the broader AdTech and MarTech ecosystem, FleishmanHillard occupies a significant position as a communications partner that bridges earned media, owned content, and paid media strategies. The agency leverages proprietary research tools, data analytics platforms, and audience intelligence capabilities to inform communications strategies for clients navigating complex reputational, regulatory, and cultural landscapes. Its scale, global reach, and integration within the Omnicom network make it a formidable competitor to other major PR networks including Edelman, Weber Shandwick, and Burson.
