Cohn & Wolfe, a leading international public relations agency, today announced that Geoff Beattie has been promoted to the C&W Global Board. In his new role, Geoff will head C&W Consultancy, an exciting new client offering which brings together the agency’s top international talent to provide strategic communications advice and support. Geoff was previously Cohn & Wolfe’s Managing Director in the United Kingdom.
The initial focus of C&W Consultancy will be on Sustainability, an issue which has moved to the very top of the corporate management agenda, and where communications plays a critical role. C&W is working with a number of blue chip clients in this field already. C&W Consultancy will also offer a management communications training programme which has been tried and tested with some of the world’s largest corporations. Other fields of expertise and services will be rolled out in 2008.
“We’re thrilled to have Geoff as part of our Global Board and to lead C&W Consultancy,” said Donna Imperato, Chief Executive Officer of Cohn & Wolfe. “Everywhere, businesses are facing critical communications issues. From sustainability to navigating the digital world, their dialogue with the public must be adept. C&W Consultancy was created to help clients and their brands through these profoundly interesting and challenging times.”
“C&W globally has some of the best minds in the PR business,” says Geoff Beattie. “C&W Consultancy is about bringing those incredible talents together to offer clients very powerful insights and solutions on the issues at the top of the corporate/management agenda.”
Geoff will remain based in the Cohn & Wolfe London office where he will continue to develop senior-level client relationships.
