The 2018 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. Outside CPAs of the firms were asked to do a “special report” on the figures involved (see page 6 for complete rules). While not the same as a full audit, such a report, also referred to as an “agreed-upon-procedure,” carries the full endorsement of the CPA firms. The rankings should be regarded as an expression of the directory’s opinion, rather than a statement of fact. The rankings are only intended to be approximations in the directory’s judgment of a firm’s standing within the industry, and are not warranted to comply with any specific objective standards. The directory’s geographical index reflects the fact that many PR firms operate from multiple office locations. This sorting is carried over into the PR specialty index which identifies firms with skills in 23 areas such as beauty and fashion, food and beverage, healthcare, investor relations, professional services, sports and entertainment, technology, and travel. Multiple articles in this year’s directory address hiring a PR firm, preparing a PR RFP, ins and outs of PR firm mergers and acquisitions and 2018 tax changes that will affect 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. The editors of the directory thank all the PR firms for their cooperation in providing data for the rankings as well as their listings of accounts, PR professionals, addresses, etc. We believe the availability of fuller information about the PR counseling industry will help clients who seek to employ firms and will help the industry to grow faster.

The sufficiency of the procedures is solely the responsibility of the PR firm. We make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or any other purpose.

Mark-ups for out-of-pocket expenses and mark-ups and/or profits from collateral activities such as graphics, video production, printing, public opinion research, etc., are included as actual amounts. Such amounts do not exceed the limit of 7.5% of total fees. We compared fee income, as defined above, to the appropriate fee billing records and found that for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2018:
