VIEW FROM THE TOP

Weber Shandwick is one of the world's leading global public relations firms with offices in major media, business and government capitals around the world. We specialize in strategic marketing communications, media relations programs, reputation management, public affairs, and crisis and issues management, and provide corporate communications counseling worldwide. We also offer specialized services, including Web relations, advocacy advertising, market research and visual communications. Weber Shandwick works with many of the world's leading multinational corporations.

Our mission is tied to one goal—winning for our clients. We create what clients need to grow: a legion of believers, supporters, allies and fans. We develop programs designed to move people more quickly to the highest form of loyalty—advocacy—by mobilizing advocates for our clients early on in the communications process.

Weber Shandwick's culture emphasizes seamless collaboration at multiple levels—within teams, across geographies and practice areas, and with Interpublic Group of Cos. sibling agencies. Our exceptional team is client-focused, innovative and from diverse backgrounds—and works across different cultures. We demand of ourselves and those we work with the highest standards of ethics and integrity. We also recognize that people are the foundation of our success, and we respect the unique qualities of our colleagues and clients. Our team is committed to making the communities in which we operate better places to live and work through our Making a Difference Program and other pro bono efforts in offices throughout our worldwide network.

Our culture is also environmentally focused. In 2006, our London office was awarded the prestigious Green Certification following a review of our environmental management processes. We are rolling out these processes globally, and we expect the North American region to be certified by the end of this year.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Weber Shandwick team members are strategic thinkers, trusted advisers, innovative, collaborative and passionate about what they do. We build on these qualities and foster professional development with four career tracks: business unit leader, practice leader, client relationship leader and corporate services. In addition, we provide a continuous learning environment by offering a variety of professional development programs.

We are also looking for people who:

• Are creative thinkers and embrace our entrepreneurial philosophy. Many of our specialty services and practice groups have evolved because of our innovative culture.



• Have a global outlook that further supports cross-office collaboration and service integration across geographic and cultural borders. Our Global Exchange Program, which gives employees the opportunity to work in a different office for six months, is one way we demonstrate our global philosophy and client commitment.



• Want to support the communities in which we operate. Employees worldwide can participate in our Making a Difference Program, as well as other initiatives, and contribute their time, expertise and firm resources to nonprofit organizations and groups.

FIVE-YEAR OUTLOOK

Our dynamic industry will continue to see growth not only in consumer marketing, technology and healthcare but also in new specialty areas. These areas include interactive, social and emerging media; reputation management; corporate responsibility; multicultural communications; and clean technology. Success in today's new business frontier will require not only knowledge and expertise in traditional and new media communications skills but also a global perspective.


WHY WE WORK HERE
Our success is our people.

"One of the qualities that makes Weber Shandwick such an exciting place to work is the people. They include colleagues who share my interests and spirit of camaraderie, and a management team that recognizes great work with rewarding career opportunities. Among these opportunities is the Global Exchange Program in which I am now participating. I'm really enjoying the new projects I'm working on and the experience of living in Beijing. It's truly a once-in-a lifetime opportunity!"
—Jenny Xia, account supervisor, Dallas/Beijing

"As a summer intern for Weber Shandwick, I worked on innovative public relations campaigns and learned from the industry's top talent. After returning to college completely inspired by my summer experience, I spent my free time learning more about the industry and preparing for my career in communications. Exactly one year later, I returned to Weber Shandwick as an account coordinator in the firm's consumer division. Coming full circle from my invaluable internship experience, I'm now working daily with leading consumer brands and doing what I love."
—Gillian Kushner, account coordinator, New York

"Weber Shandwick combines the best of a boutique firm—creativity, agility and entrepreneurial spirit—with the advantages of a global organization—far-reaching worldwide network, specialists in every industry and resources needed to get the job done. This culture is among the reasons why I have been working at Weber Shandwick for 11 years. It's also the biggest contributor to my success as the global Microsoft account lead. I'm empowered to draw on and learn from the best talent across the network, giving Microsoft the team, service and resources needed to meet and exceed its goals."
—Tim Fry, exec VP, Seattle
