Lambert, the PR and investor relations shop born out of a Grand Rapids basement 20 years ago, now ranks 45th on a national list of U.S.-based firms. Citing 32-percent growth year-over-year, O’Dwyer’s pushed Lambert up nine spots from 2018. The magazine also ranked Lambert as a top-10 Financial and Investor Relations firm and a top-10 Environmental and Public Affairs Firm, based on annual fee billings.
“In a challenging landscape, we’ve proven our value as a trusted counselor to organizations of all sizes, which has allowed us to maintain many long-term partnerships while welcoming dozens of new clients to our roster,” said Jeff Lambert, founder and CEO. “It’s the era of the mid-size agency where companies are looking for world-class work without the cost-prohibitive overhead of a large firm. Our mix of exceptional delivery and subject-matter expertise, coupled with strategic hires and an expanded multimedia service offering, have made Lambert tough to beat.”
O’Dwyer’s also named Lambert a top-17 food and beverage public relations firm.
