What the future holds, according to Richard Edelman, a podcast sponsored by Edelman
In 1996, Richard Edelman took over his eponymous agency from his father. Now, celebrating its 30th year under Richard’s leadership, the firm’s global revenue is $950 million. It was $85 million when he took the reins. The rousing success of his independent agency is largely due to Richard’s constant eye on the future, as well as his ability to anticipate it — a skill as sharp today as it ever was. That was on full display during the session at the recent PRWeek Conference in Chicago. He spoke to PRWeek’s Jess Ruderman about his succession plans, his stronger-than-ever belief in being an independent shop, the industry-wide impact of agency consolidation and the ever-increasing importance of a word that has become synonymous with Richard and his organization — trust.

The PR Week: 9.17.2026 - Jon Harris
It’s definitely something on the minds of in-house communications execs: How is the chief communications officer position changing? Does it matter if it reports to the CEO?
