The 2020 edition of O’Dwyer’s Directory of Public Relations Firms contains listings of public relations firms and public relations departments of advertising agencies worldwide. Readers should cross-reference the directory with the “Find a PR Firm” database on odwyerpr.com for the latest updates to listings as well as newly-added firms not found in the printed directory.
The rankings of PR firms are intended to allow the reader to draw rough conclusions regarding growth year over year. Only firms that list clients are included in the rankings. Multiple articles in this year’s directory address hiring a PR firm, ins and outs of PR firm mergers and acquisitions retirement planning for PR firm owners. The last section of the directory, an exclusive cross-client index, lets you look up a company and determine its outside PR counsel.
