Elliot Sloane, founder of Sloane & Company, is part of the team launching ThroughCo Communications.
Sloane says that the new consultancy will work to connecting what he calls "through line" between brand storytelling and reputation and valuation
ThroughCo will offer such strategic communications services as PR, investor relations, crisis communication and shareholder management. Its strategic marketing services will include brand-campaign strategy, partnerships and media strategy.
Sloane is managing partner of the new consultancy. Serving as partners are former senior vice president of marketing and brand strategy at Food Network and Cooking Channel Susie Fogelson, and Gary Nelson, who was creative strategy lead at brand strategy firm Fogelson & Co., which Fogelson founded in 2016 after leaving the Food Network.
“The focus of our firm is to work with clients to address a core communications need today: connecting the ‘through line’ between brand storytelling and reputation and valuation,” Sloane told O’Dwyer's.
Sectors ThroughCo will be working with include consumer products, dining & hospitality, energy, entertainment, healthcare and private equity.
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.
