MS&L is the lead public relations agency in the Paris-based Publicis Groupe, the world’s fourth largest communications agency with top advertising firms such as Saatchi & Saatchi and Leo Burnett and the largest media-buying organization in the world, Starcom MediaVest Group.

What separates MS&L apart from other agencies of its size and breadth is the way we bring everything together. We don’t operate on a tight local office structure which can create numerous barriers to client service. Instead, we use a best teams approach and pull the best people with the best experience to create the best client service team.

This often means that we’ll have people from different offices across the country and around the globe working together. Our approach works because it’s a part of our culture. People are trained to work that way from day one.

We meet the needs of our clients by providing best-in-class services in consumer marketing PR, healthcare PR, corporate communications and technology communications. With a growing global network and cutting-edge expertise in digital strategy, new capabilities in insights and research, an expert team of influencer marketers and some of the best media relations experts in the industry, MS&L is well-positioned to meet most communications needs.

The payoff is evident all around the agency – the long-standing tenure of the agency’s top clients (4 out of the top 5 have remained for more than a decade), the consistent double-digit growth in the firm’s largest offices and an annual spate of industry awards across the globe, including the 2007 SABRE award for best workplace initiative; PRWeek's Best Use of Internet in 2006 and 2007; Communiqué Awards Launch of the Year; Silver Anvil Award of Excellence for Marketing Consumer Products in 2007; Holmes Group 2006 Nordic Consultancy of the Year; 2007 Cause-Related Campaign of the Year; and three 2007 Eikon Awards, the top honor in Buenos Aires.

The firm also has grown its capabilities and global reach significantly. Our recent acquisitions include Hanmer & Partners, one of India’s largest public relations consultancies (now named Hanmer MS&L), and The McGinn Group, the highly-regarded DC-based corporate communications and risk and innovation consulting firm (now named McGinn MS&L). In 2006, we integrated The JKL Group, the leading Nordic communications consultancy, into our network. We have also opened many new offices in Europe and Asia, have expanded our presence in Latin America, and have continued to build a strong affiliate network of 67 top local firms around the world.

What you can expect from MS&L is best in class thinking, innovation, execution and results. To learn more about us and our work, please don’t hesitate to contact us today (wendy.lund@mslpr.com).
