American PR Company Fleisham-Hillard International Communications And Local Agency 20:20 To Manage All Communications For Delhi 2010
23rd October, 2009
Fleisham-Hillard which claims to be "a leader in international marketing & communications and one of the premier public relations agencies in the world", has been chosen over several other international PR agencies to manage both international and domestic communications for the Commonwealth Games to be held next year in New Delhi, India along with a local agency called 20:20 Media. Fleisham-Hillard International Communications became the front-runners for the project when it put forward a proposal to carry out the entire project for USD250,000 (GBP153,000 appx.) which was way below the quote given by other agencies.
Fleisham-Hillard is based in St. Louis, Missouri and has offices all across the world whereas 20:20 Media, which was founded in 1989, is one of India’s biggest independent PR agencies and has offices throughout India with a staff around 150 people.
Fleisham-Hillard and 20:20 will be working between now and the games for all kinds of national and international communications and it is certain that amidst widespread concern about security and infrastructure for Delhi 2010, their job to communicate the right messages will not be easy.
The Queen's Baton Relay which is due to take place at the Buckingham Palace in London on 29th October is expected to be their first assignment.
