BerlinRosen has topped the 2022 Observer’s Best PR Firms in America list that has been published today, making it the first firm to enjoy a repeat performance.
Valerie Berlin’s and Jonathan Rosen’s firm was No. 1 on the l2018 list.
BerlinRosen made the grade on this year’s roster due to a 25 percent revenue jump in 2021, “A-list” client growth (Bloomberg Intelligence, MeToo, Westfield, Macy’s, Mozilla, One Vanderbilt) and its work on successful election campaigns of NYC comptroller Brad Lander and Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner.
42West, which handled the James Bond blockbuster “No Time to Die” and the coming out of the new bi-Superman on behalf of DC comics, took the No. 2 slot.
Alison Brod Marketing Communications ranked No. 3 as it followed up its Popeye’s chicken-sandwich mania with Burger King’s Moldy Whopper campaign.
SKDK weighed in at No. 4 on the strength of its push for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout and representation of victims of alleged abuse by members of the Boy Scouts organization.
