CJRW and Burson-Marsteller Sign Affiliate Agreement
November 17th, 2008
Burson-Marsteller, a leading global public relations and communications consultancy, and Cranford Johnson Robinson Woods (CJRW), one of the largest independent communications firms in the Southwest, have entered into an affiliate agreement. CJRW is currently Burson-Marsteller’s only U.S.-based affiliate.
Through this relationship, CJRW clients will have access to Burson-Marsteller’s global services and professional staff. In turn, Burson-Marsteller will expand its presence in the Mid-South and Southwest regions of the U.S. through CJRW’s client base and relationships in Arkansas and surrounding states.
“We look forward to providing expanded services for our clients through this affiliation with Burson-Marsteller,” said David Martin, CJRW’s chief executive officer. “Burson-Marsteller is the pre-eminent public relations firm in the world, and we are proud to be affiliated with such a prestigious organization.”
Burson-Marsteller has formed a limited number of affiliate partnerships around the world. An affiliate partnership allows for collaboration through the sharing of knowledge and methodologies as well as additional training and networking. Affiliate partners work closely with a Burson-Marsteller regional chief executive officer yet remain independently owned.
Burson-Marsteller is a global public relations and communications firm that has proven to be an industry leader in digital communications, public policy and public relations.
“Along with our offices in Austin, Dallas, and Houston,” said Mark Penn, worldwide CEO of Burson-Marsteller, “this new affiliate relationship with CJRW helps cement our presence in the Southwest and Mid-South markets and provides our clients with an even larger reach in these key U.S. markets.”
