Info

Benjamin is a full-service public relations agency that provides business-changing communications solutions to technology companies across a broad spectrum of industries, from deep technology to consumer electronics. In 1988, Sheri and Steve Benjamin founded The Benjamin Group in Silicon Valley and Orange County, California. Their goal was to create a new kind of agency that approached PR from a business perspective and considered it as a critical part of a company's overall marketing effort, not a microcosm in and of itself. In July 1999, Benjamin Group was acquired by BSMG Worldwide and became BSMG's U.S. technology brand. In late 2001, the agency was acquired by The Interpublic Group of Companies (IPG) and merged with Weber Shandwick - an Interpublic global PR brand. Benjamin Group's San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Portland offices were integrated with Weber Shandwick's global technology practice. In Orange County, the company operates as Benjamin | A Weber Shandwick Company. Through the global Weber Shandwick network, Benjamin has access to public relations practices, as well as services in corporate issues and advocacy advertising, market research, and visual communications. Weber Shandwick is the world's largest public relations agency, with offices in major media, business and government capitals around the world.
