Both of these actions further manifest our strategy and open up new avenues for growth.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc\"><b>Creating the Leading Global Network in Latin America<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe addition of JeffreyGroup builds on the eminence of Hill+Knowlton\u2019s international network, doubling the firm\u2019s footprint in Latin America and creating the largest global agency presence in the region. Headquartered in Miami, with offices in Mexico City, Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, S\u00e3o Paulo, and Buenos Aires, JeffreyGroup has been a dominant force in Latin America for nearly three decades, developing innovative, award-winning brand and corporate communications programs and public affairs strategies for clients across a broad range of industry sectors. Recently, JeffreyGroup earned more nominations than any other agency in PRovoke Media\u2019s upcoming 2022 Latin America SABRE Awards.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nJeffreyGroup will continue to operate its distinct brand in Latin America as a part of Hill+Knowlton. Brian Burlingame, who has been JeffreyGroup\u2019s CEO since 2015, will lead H+K\u2019s total Latin American operation, encompassing the two legacy businesses, which have similar net sales and numbers of employees, but distributed differently across Latin American markets. Burlingame, who is fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese, has spent more than 25 years building businesses and advising a wide variety of multinational companies across Latin America and the Caribbean. He will report to H+K\u2019s CEO of the Americas, Richard Millar, and join H+K\u2019s Global Leadership Council. Jeffrey Sharlach, JeffreyGroup\u2019s founder, will continue to serve as its Chairman.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cJeffreyGroup has grown steadily over the course of decades, with a distinctive and exclusive focus on Latin America, serving the world\u2019s most admired companies and global brands. JeffreyGroup and Hill+Knowlton are highly complementary companies, making it possible to optimize the strengths of both brands to form the leading global network in the region,\u201d said Burlingame. \u201cHill+Knowlton today is a growth story, and we are excited to be a part of it, tapping into tools, capabilities and relationships that will benefit our clients and our people as we continue to grow our business.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve admired the JeffreyGroup since my early days as one of their clients, and I\u2019m delighted to welcome them into the Hill+Knowlton and WPP family,\u201d added DeSalva. \u201cLatin America is one of the most dynamic communication markets today, offering a growing scope of talent and innovation. Our combination with JeffreyGroup creates step change opportunities. I\u2019m excited about what we\u2019ll be able to do together.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc\"><b>Launching a New Global Brand to Serve the Technology Industry<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nIn a directly related move, Hill+Knowlton announced the global expansion of its Ideal brand, now focused on the growing market need for strategic communications advisory services supporting disruptive technology companies and those seeking a highly agile communications partner. Ideal will operate as a global H+K subsidiary.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBrazil-based Grupo Ideal originally was acquired by H+K in 2015, serving some of the region\u2019s most notable brands. Ricardo Cesar, who has led H+K\u2019s Latin American operations since 2018, has been promoted to Global CEO, Ideal, and charged with taking the Ideal brand and business model to a global market. Cesar will report to H+K\u2019s Global Chairman and CEO and remains a member of its Global Leadership Council.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cRicardo has led consistent and strikingly profitable growth, delivering innovation and creativity to a loyal and growing group of clients,\u201d said DeSalva. \u201cWe are thrilled to extend the Ideal brand globally under his leadership to form a second growth engine for our largest industrial practice. It\u2019s a unique opportunity to position H+K as the technology communications partner of choice.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCesar will work closely with Sara Gourlay, H+K\u2019s Global Chair, Technology+Telecoms, who will continue to oversee the firm\u2019s end-to-end technology sector growth strategy, making H+K well-positioned to serve a full continuum of tech clients, from disruptive start-ups to established global companies accelerating their digital transformations.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of what we have built with Ideal in Brazil, and I am excited for the opportunity to expand this concept globally,\u201d said Cesar. \u201cWe have seen an appetite in the marketplace for specialized agencies, and the time is right for Ideal to assert its unique experience in digital and content for our growing portfolio of emerging and disruptive tech clients. Working with Sara and the global tech team, Ideal will help amplify H+K\u2019s already impressive technology communications reputation globally.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Hill+Knowlton Strategies<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nHill+Knowlton Strategies, Inc. is an international communications consultancy, providing services to local, multinational, and global clients.
