Weber Shandwick will work alongside Jon Tibbs Associates - specialist
Olympic Communications Consultants - appointed earlier this month to advise on Olympic-related communications.
"Weber Shandwick have proved to us they are experienced in Olympic-related
communications as well as supporting Russian companies and organizations
internationally. They are creative, deliver great results and work
collaboratively as partners in a challenging multicultural environment
while bringing the strength of a talented global network to support our
efforts," said Dmitry Chernyshenko, President of Sochi 2014.
Weber Shandwick was responsible for all aspects of the 18-month global public relations campaign for Sochi's bid and also has experience managing global integrated communications campaigns for winning city Olympic and event bid efforts, including Beijing 2008, Turin 2006 and Sydney 2000, among
others.
