Weber Shandwick expands network eastwards  

The PR company Weber Shandwick is opening new branches in Poland, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina and establishing new partner companies in Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia-Montenegro, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. "For our international customers, this expanded network represents an expansion of their geographical growth and operational opportunities. And for our local customers, it opens the doors to the world's leading communications network," said CEO Harris Diamond. The company is cooperating with the McCann WorldGroup to expand its network. Like the Lowe agency group, Weber Shandwick is part of the Interpublic Group advertising company. While Lowe has come under massive cost-cutting pressure, Weber Shandwick appears to be prospering.
