Fleishman-Hillard boosts African footprint

Kevin Bell, Fleishman-Hillard's regional president with responsibility for Africa, the Middle East and UK, says, "Tell-Em currently works with some of the region's largest and most respected companies and brands, including Nokia, Visa International, Coca-Cola, East African Breweries, and MTV. This not only strengthens our offering in Africa but adds to our global credentials."

Elizabeth Cook, MD of Tell-Em Public Relations, says, "We have worked with Fleishman-Hillard in Johannesburg for over a year on the Nokia account... This global association positions Tell-Em Public Relations as part of a worldwide network, which is increasingly important to us. The association also gives us access to Fleishman-Hillard's global experience and expertise, particularly in the areas of media training and online communication. This will be of great value to the East African market."
