Qorvis Communications, which has been repping Bahrain as sub-contractor to Bell Pottinger, has now registered its own $40K-a-month pact with the beleaguered Kingdom.
Working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Washington-based provides press and PR services in the U.S. for Bahrain.
In his engagement letter, Qorvis managing partner Michael Petruzzello says the shop is “very enthusiastic about this new assignment and confident of its ability to get the job done.”
Bahrain staged a bloody crackdown on dissenters earlier this year. That was done with assistance from troops from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, a Qorvis client.
Qorvis continues to work with Bell Pottinger to promote the stability of Yemen, another mideast hotspot. That effort is a $30K-a-month job.
