Newell BrandsThe large account, won in a competitive review, spans 13 countries across North and Latin America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Edelman handles corporate PR for the company, which changed its name from Newell Rubbermaid after the $15.4B acquisition of Jarden. Corp. (K2 skis, Yankee Candle, Oster appliances) last year. Newell is eying cost savings and larger scale with that deal, including global expansion of its brands.
