The Brand Team
We believe the most effective brand marketing today is earned at its core - ideas designed not just to be seen, but to be shared, talked about and participated in.
Edelman Brand is operating at the heart of what we believe is the Golden Age of Earned.
This is a moment where brands are built through culture, creators and communities; where earned, paid, shared and owned work together; and where AI is changing how ideas are conceived, created and scaled.
Our Brand team partners with some of the world’s biggest brands to create work that earns attention, trust and influence. From integrated campaigns and creator-led platforms to culture-first storytelling and multi-market programmes, we help brands connect with audiences in ways that are relevant, distinctive and meaningful.
We are a team with momentum: winning major new clients, growing existing relationships and pushing the boundaries of what Brand at Edelman can be.
