A public relations firm sacrificing principles to expediency isn’t remarkable. What is is being outed for it. Not once but now twice, Edelman has been on the wrong end of climate campaigners protesting against its working for the energy company EON. And it has made it into the national news. Edelman deserves to be targeted. EON and its plans for the Kingsnorth power station are far from pretty. Actually they’re really quite frightening.
It’d be a brave agency that declines the no doubt very sizeable fees from an ugly company like EON, but the bad publicity might just offset the financial gain.
