Chime consists of three divisions: Public Relations; Advertising and Marketing Services; and Research. Public Relations Division
According to its website:
- Public relations companies in Chime have been shaping public opinion for decades. We help clients to announce important results and win investor confidence. We help them to shape regulatory environments and lead important public debates. And we help them to win more customers, increase sales and build brands. Increasingly, we help them to communicate better with employees and win the commitment needed to make employees brand advocates wherever they go.
- We also have to save companies from crisis, defend reputations, calm hostile media and prevent unwelcome takeovers. We even advise governments how to win elections and sometimes campaign to change national agendas.
The Public Relations division, together, serve more than 600 major UK and international brands, as well as governments, government departments, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, charities, not-for-profit organisations, professional service firms and famous people.
Major clients include, Vauxhall, MFI, Emirates, AEA Technology, McDonalds, Autoglass and Vodafone.
