Edelman's San Francisco office - a group of entrepreneurial, smart and seasoned practitioners - serves small businesses and global brands. Our clients benefit from both a fast-moving, engaged team of specialists typically associated with a boutique agency and the depth of resources expected from the world's largest independent public relations firm.
The San Francisco office's 20-year heritage of quality and innovation is exemplified through our work for Odwalla in the face of an E.coli outbreak, a program that marked the first time a Web site was used for crisis response and won our industry's highest honor, the Silver Anvil "Best of Show" Award; for the online DVD rental service Netflix, which Edelman supported from startup through its successful IPO and beyond; and, for the past seven years, Charles Schwab, as the company has evolved from a renegade discount broker to the most successful electronic brokerage to the full-choice advocate for individual investors.
We hire professionals who understand that we are first and foremost advocates for the companies with which we do business. We are hired as consultants, yet quickly become insiders. We may be vendors on paper, but we are true partners in practice. Our strategic programs, designed to meet our clients' business objectives, are tailored to fit each company's distinct personality, whether fun, serious, low-key, or aggressive.
Our employees have donated their time and services through pro-bono media relations and community outreach for organizations including the Conservatory of Flowers, San Francisco Food Bank, Edgewood Center for Children and Families, Project Open Hand, The Robert Packard Foundation for ALS Research and Interplast, a medical volunteer organization serving needy children in developing countries.
