CEO Harris Diamond and president Andy Polansky say the agency is currently seeing robust hiring and historically unprecedented revenue growth. The firm's revenue figures reflect its growth in technology and healthcare last year.

Overall, Ogilvy had a "smashing year," says global CEO Marcia Silverman, with things going really well in the US as well as Asia, and the firm posting a "good" year in Europe.

The 84-year-old firm exceeded all financial projections, and had its best year ever, by any metric.

The agency claims that revenue and growth exceeded expectations by nearly double in 2007, in what Taaffe characterized as "just a great all-around year."

Fleishman began a number of initiatives in 2007, including "Switched On," which is set to add and integrate digital capabilities into all client work and has been supported by strategic hires, training, and marketing efforts.

Digital became a focus in 2007, evidenced by the firm's decision to establish a global digital practice, merging its three separate entities - EIS (Edelman Interactive Solutions), the firm's digital strategy, design, and production team; Me2Revolution, the social media unit; and Edelman Mobile, which launched in fall 2007 - under a single umbrella housing 120 people.

The firm's 2007 growth came mainly from the expansion of work with existing clients, with the latter half of the year bringing in a lot of accounts, including Comcast, Ericsson, Century 21, and Virginia Tech, Penn noted.

Last year, Text rebranded itself as a global PR agency, rather than just a tech PR firm.

The agency had one of its strongest new business months in March of 2008, CEO Steve Schwartz says. "The fastest-growing segment in our business last year was in healthcare," he says. "I think healthcare is more resistant to economic cycles."
