Mack ReynoldsProfessional services firm Sikich has opened a new, expanded office in downtown Chicago.
The 22,000-square-foot space, located at 200 W. Madison Street, combines the firm’s investment banking practice, its forensic and valuation services practice and its public relations practice.
Sikich had previously maintained two separate downtown Chicago offices to accommodate these operations.
“Our public relations team offers a combination of small firm care and large firm capabilities for a wide mix of businesses, including technology companies, consulting firms and family brands,” Mack Reynolds, partner-in-charge of Sikich’s public relations practice, told O’Dwyer’s. “As we’ve grown and engaged with clients from Sikich’s other practice areas, we needed more space and an upgraded facility. Our new modern, technologically-advanced space in downtown Chicago will be a valuable asset as we continue to attract top talent and clients.”
DJE Holdings, parent of Edelman and Zeno, launches RUTH as an independent shop named after Ruth Edelman, mental health advocate, wife and longtime business partner of Dan Edelman.
New York City PR firms make up the largest slice of O'Dwyer's 147 firm overall ranking with 33 of 40 in the New York/New Jersey area either calling Manhattan their home or having a presence there.
Subject Matter+Kivvit, which joined forces in May, has rebranded as Avoq, an integrated shop with more than 200 professionals in Washington, New York, Asbury Park (NJ), Miami and Chicago.
While PR pros stationed at in-house comms. teams and those working for agencies share many of the same objectives, they also have markedly different top priorities, according to a recent report.
Edelman is cutting 240 employees or about four percent of its workforce to cope with the cooling down of the PR sector, according to a memo from CEO Richard Edelman.
