We Make Things That Culture Loves. Now, We Need You.
Edelman has spent the last decade evolving from a PR agency into a creative powerhouse—and the industry is taking notice. This year, we championed a climate-focused standard for food transportation and promoted inclusive representation for gamers, taking home Cannes Lions for DP World's "Move to Minus 15" (Titanium) and Dove's "Code My Crown" (Silver & Gold, multiple categories).
We won four Gold, six Silver, and five Bronze Lions across nine campaigns spanning EMEA, North America, and APAC. We also ranked second in the Independent Network of the Year rankings and continue to lead the charge in PRWeek's table rankings.
But for us, it's not just about the awards—it’s about the work. Work that earns attention, sparks conversations, and drives real change. And now, we're looking for a U.S. Chief Creative Officer (CCO) to take us even further.
If you're a fearless creative leader who believes in the power of ideas that move people, this is your moment.
