Hill & Knowlton Re-Brands to Hill+Knowlton Strategies

LONDON — Hill & Knowlton Inc. announced today a new name and identity: Hill+Knowlton Strategies. The name reflects a renewed emphasis on strategic communications advice that ensures a client's business imperatives are achieved — advice informed by research and insight, and built upon a rich heritage of public relations strength.

“The new brand points to a shifting market for our clients, one with an explosion of information and a revolution in the ability of almost everyone to find that information,” said Jack Martin, global chairman and chief executive officer of Hill+Knowlton Strategies. “This democratization of information is fundamentally changing the way they do business.”
 
The rebranding and new name take effect December 1, 2011. Hill+Knowlton Strategies traces its start to 1927 when John W. Hill opened his public relations office in Cleveland, Ohio. Today, the company has 85 offices in 46 countries around the globe and continues to serve clients as a premier public relations agency.
