Beschreibung

Edelman is a global communications firm built for a digital world.

With the benefit of a history in building trust and earning attention through communications, our teams help clients create direct and impactful audience connections and tell magnetic stories that move at the speed of social, transform culture and spark movements.

Some of our most recent and most awarded projects across the Edelman network are the Cannes Grand Prix winning Eternal Run (ASICS), Buy Back Friday (IKEA), Wildlife Watch (Samsung) and Dreams Within (Microsoft Xbox).

Since 70 years, we make people care through the power of earned creative, Edelman's unique approach to developing surprising and purposeful content that earns hearts and minds. In our new, digitalfirst approach, we believe that digital offers an exciting opportunity to connect with people. Our approach and ideas allow brands to reach beyond the screen to inspire action.
