Her fellow director is Roger Hayes, the Executive Director of the International Institute of Communications (founded in 1968 with the support of the Ford Foundation[7] whose career includes "senior positions with the British Nuclear Industry Forum, Ford of Europe, Thorn EMI, PA Management Consultants and Burson-Marsteller..." and Pinnacle PR [8]http://www.echoresearch.com/en/directors/
move to Echo page
Echo's web site gives us a glimpse of the process of PR. Its section called 'What the Critics Say' includes no criticism. Only three articles are cited, one states Echo was "providing communications research and reputation analysis for [..] Government Departments such as The Home Office."[9] http://www.echoresearch.com/en/news/
Here is Echo's own statement on another big client, the Ministry of Defence:
- "The Ministry of Defence has the role of defending the United Kingdom and its interests, and strengthening international peace and stability. Like many government departments, it is continuously under scrutiny by the public and in the news media and responds to many calls for information and explanation. Echo Research analyzed the profile of the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces across all their operations, including Operation Telic (Iraq), assessing in particular the media debate around the case for Allied action in Iraq."[10] http://www.echoresearch.com/en/publiccasestudies/
Echo also work for The Environment Agency. Echo Research tracked media coverage to see how the Agency's actions to "name and shame" organizations violating environmental regulations had penetrated the public consciousness. The Agency also has a public information responsibility to help people deal with environmental hazards. Echo Research evaluated the extent to which people had access to safety information in times of flooding — a hazard likely to increase in tandem with the effects of global warming."[11] http://www.echoresearch.com/en/publiccasestudies/
- "For a further consecutive year, Echo presented an analysis of how the British press portrays PR at PR Week's PR The Media conference. Has the image of PR changed since tracking began in 1999? What conclusions can be drawn from the interdependence between the media and PR? Is PR's image spinning out of control? Or is greater advocacy by the PR industry on its value and role good for PR?"

move to IPRA page
[13] [14]. The 2005 'summit' proudly boasted of the inclusion of Alistair Campbell. The IPRA gave awards to various campaigns such as:
- Fleishman Hillard's on behalf of the document shredding machine maker Fellowes,
- Edelman, who works for the Moroccan American Center for Policy - a somewhat anonymous agent for the Government of Morocco [15] [16] - which put up a phoney humanitarian look-alike site [17]http://sahara-watch.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_sahara-watch_archive.html at http://www.freethemnow.org as some sort of vestigial remnant of the Cold War. The object of the game here is to overturn the International Court of Justices' ruling in 1975 that Morocco has no claim to the territory of Western Sahara [18] [19]. Sahara-Watch had already spotted that the website was registered by Edelman's David White [20] [21].
- "Reports from Amnesty International and other groups show that the Moroccan Government is still denying its people basic political rights including the imprisonment of peaceful human rights activists and the use of torture. One of the most notable human rights violations by the Moroccan Government has been its attempts to silence debate on the issue of how to resolve the Western Sahara dispute." [22]???
- APEX Communications (Nairobi, Kenya) for a public information campaign 'to combat public scepticism toward the privatised Nairobi Water Company. They built confidence in the new company and raised revenue collection by 54 percent'.
