Public relations account supervisor needed with proven media track record

Cohn & Wolfe is an international communications agency servicing some of the best-known brands in the world.  Although our craft is public relations, our business is brand marketing.  Our mission is to help clients create, build and defend brands.  We achieve this by taking our proprietary research, rooted in vast consumer databases, and injecting those insights deep into our well-oiled creative sessions.  Nothing we produce is paint-by-numbers.  We do no programming “off the shelf.” And we do it all with service-minded passion. Cohn & Wolfe "competes equally well against giant multinational agencies or hot creative boutiques, by being both safe and sexy,” Holmes Report. http://www.cohnwolfe.com/
