Edelman quits Council of PR Firms

Edelman, the largest independent PR firm, has quit the Council of PR Firms.

“We have the utmost respect for our competitors that remain members of Council,” says Richard Edelman in his blog. “We have an abiding and shared interest in the issues facing the PR industry, from diversity to ethics. However, we disagree with the Council on a few fundamental points. Nevertheless, we will continue to be advocates for the PR industry to help all of us achieve the full potential of the business.

In India, Edelman has a tie-up with Roger Pereira.
