Corporate Leadership

John Graham Chairman

Under John Graham's leadership, Fleishman-Hillard has grown from a single office to an international powerhouse – a global team of more than 2,500 professionals that serves clients from offices in 25 countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, South Africa, and Latin America.

Under John's direction, the firm has built a strong reputation for excellent client service and a strong company culture founded on teamwork, integrity, and personal commitment. The firm also has regularly placed at or near the top of the highly respected annual agency rankings published by The Holmes Report, which last year referred to Fleishman-Hillard as "the best managed firm in the public relations business."

Over the years, John has been widely recognized for his industry leadership. In 2000, he became only the third agency PR executive to be inducted into the Arthur W. Page Society Hall of Fame. In 2003, he received PRSA's Gold Anvil award for his many contributions to the public relations industry, and in 2005, the International Communications Consultancy Organization (ICCO) named him to its International Hall of Fame. A frequent speaker at various industry gatherings around the world, John is a founder and a past Chairman of the Council of Public Relations Firms, and is a member of various organizations, including the World Economic Forum, the Public Relations Society of America, the Arthur W. Page Society, and the International Public Relations Association.
