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.
