It has been an interesting year for NATIONAL Public Relations, they have been forced to adjust their business due to a number of senior management exits such as here, here, and here. The firm has also let go of a few of its team members this year. The latest change for NATIONAL Public Relations comes from its Montreal office as the parent company – RES PUBLICA Consulting Group announced Cohn & Wolfe Montreal, will fold into NATIONAL Public Relations.
“When we did our annual business analysis of both firms, we concluded that both talent and client bases were complementary. Integrating Cohn & Wolfe into NATIONAL in Montreal made business sense, in addition to extending our service offering for the benefit of clients,” said Jean-Pierre Vasseur, president and CEO of RES PUBLICA.

Current Managing Partner for Cohn & Wolfe André Bouthillier, will become part of NATIONAL as an Executive Vice-President.
