South Korea has renewed Singer Bonjean Strategies’ $200K contract through 2012 for political/media analysis, press roundtables, speeches, op-ed pieces and press releases.
SBS is the bipartisan shop of Phil Singer, former aide to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y) and senior advisor to Hillary Clinton’s presidential run, and Ron Bonjean, who was chief of staff for Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AR) and director of communications for former House Speaker Dennis Hassert (R-IL).
Roll Call once called Singer and Bonjean the “platonic version of Carville and Matalin.”
The government of South Korea, which added Finn Partners ($480K contract) and The Nickels Group ($200K) to its communications line-up this year, is fighting a bid to junk its freshly minted free trade agreement with the U.S.
The country dropped WPP’s Glover Park Group from the roster at the end of 2011 after spending $300K for the year there. |
