Qorvis Communications is taking over the Equatorial Guinea account from Cassidy and Assocs. as of August 13.
The independent PR firm had represented that oil-rich African state and its strongman of more than 30 years Tedoro Obiang as subcontractor to Cassidy.
Under the one-year pact, Qorvis is to conduct online reputation management, handle media engagement and offer general PR services. It will receive a $60K monthly retainer.
There is an option to renew on a month-to-month basis.
Qorvis reports to Jeronimo Osa Osa Ecoro, Equatorial Guinea’s minister of information. |
