Since approximately 1998 Porter Novelli had a contract with the Almond Board of California to promote almonds in western Europe. In early 2004 PR Week reported Proter Novelli's UK office - Countrywide Porter Novelli - won a £450,000 contract to sell the nutritional benefits of almonds focussing on healthcare professionals. CPN director, Keith Taylor told PR Week, health professionals are "key influencers on consumers"'.
