The sparsely populated former British colony, which sits along the Eastern Caribbean archipelago between Guadeloupe and Martinique, is often referred to as the “Nature Island of the Caribbean,” due to its tropical rainforests, which cover two-thirds of the island.

The Omnicom public affairs unit will provide strategic consulting and management services specific to issues facing Dominica in the areas of government relations and issues management, according to Foreign Agents Registration Act documents filed in March.

Columbus, OH-based PR agency Fahlgren Mortine has represented Dominica’s DOT, Discover Dominica Authority.

The pact, which became effective in February and terminates in April, brings Mercury a fee of $90,000.
