In May 2006, Edelman acquired A&R Partners, Silicon Valley’s largest public relations firm and merged it with its office in Silicon Valley. A&R was founded in 1986 and during the subsequent two decades grew into one of Silicon Valley’s most admired technology PR firms. The Silicon Valley office now has 140 professionals and operates as A&R Edelman, serving as the primary hub for Edelman’s global Technology practice. The office offers the client-focused approach of a boutique agency combined with the scale and scope of a leading global firm.
A&R Edelman supports the communication needs of top technology companies in a variety of industries, including broadband networking, mobile computing, digital lifestyle, consumer technology, clean/green technology, enterprise software, security, semiconductors and wireless telecommunications. The team’s clients are among the industry's most innovative and closely watched companies, from groundbreaking start-ups to industry leaders such as Adobe Systems, Atheros Communications, Check Point, Citrix, FireTide, Harman Multimedia, iRobot, Palm, Synaptics and TSMC.
