Its offerings include global public affairs advisory, crisis communications, corporate positioning, stakeholder engagement, thought leadership development, and geopolitical risk advisory, delivered through senior consultant-client engagements and leveraging the global FleishmanHillard network.

Product overview

FleishmanHillard Japan operates as a strategic communication consulting firm rather than a software product company. Their primary offering is strategic communication consulting services, which leverage their global network spanning over 30 countries with approximately 80 offices worldwide. The company, established in 1997, provides Japanese corporations with support for international expansion, crisis communication, public affairs advisory, and stakeholder engagement. They do not offer a platform-plus-modules software architecture but rather deliver consulting services through their network of consultants.
