What FleishmanHillard does

FleishmanHillard is a global communications consultancy headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, founded in 1946 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omnicom Group Inc. (NYSE: OMC). The firm operates nearly 80 offices across more than 30 countries spanning six continents, with regional headquarters in New York, London, and Brussels, and is staffed by 1,001-5,000 professionals. It serves enterprise clients across seven core verticals — technology, financial and professional services, health and life sciences, retail/sports/lifestyle, food and agriculture, manufacturing and energy, and government and public sector — with named clients including Roche, Elanco, Great Clips, Blue Diamond Growers, Tillamook, AEW, Pan-American Life Insurance Group, and the Jacksonville Jaguars/Fulham Football Club.

The firm's service offering spans strategic communications counsel, reputation management, crisis communications, brand marketing, public affairs, employee communications, media strategy, and executive advisory, delivered through subsidiary brands including Methods+Mastery (data-driven marketing), GMMB (public affairs), VOX Global, BlueCurrent, and DDC. The core technology stack is built around AI-powered tools (FH Fusion for counselor-led crisis management and First Answer for generative engine optimization) deployed via Omnicom's New Omni AI platform, supplemented by Acxiom's deterministic identity graph covering 2.6 billion verified global profiles and internally curated knowledge libraries. A dedicated TRUE Global Intelligence practice and specialized Centers of Excellence (e.g., Cybersecurity) provide data-driven insights and measurement.

FleishmanHillard generates revenue through fee-based professional services, including project fees, retainers, and Agency of Record (AOR) engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per engagement with enterprise clients. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales through the global office network, with new business routed via dedicated website inquiry forms. Recent corporate moves include the February 2026 integration of Porter Novelli as a dedicated brand under FleishmanHillard (following Omnicom's $13 billion acquisition of IPG), the March 2026 rebranding of Mango Communications Aotearoa as FleishmanHillard Aotearoa, and the May 2026 launch of the America 250 Advisory Unit to serve brands navigating the US semiquincentennial. The firm has been recognized with PRWeek US Agency of the Year (2023), Campaign US PR Agency of the Year (2023), PRovoke Media Top Agency in UK and Europe, and multiple SABRE and Cannes Lions awards.
