Proposed Addition to Recent History[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I believe this below proposed edit will also add to the objective understanding and knowledge of Weber Shandwick, making the article more informative and encyclopedic.

Andy Polansky was named Weber Shandwick CEO in November 2012.

Stein, Lindsay (November 13, 2012). "Polansky named Weber Shandwick chief executive; Diamond to lead McCann". PRWeek. Retrieved November 23, 2015.

Hi Ljruth. I've written a bunch of our GA articles on PR orgs and History of public relations, etc. so I am probably the best person to answer this one. "Award-winning" is obviously not language that contributes to the "objective understanding" of the company, but I will add the rest. You may also want to take a look at Template:Cite news to make it easier for us in the future. CorporateM (Talk) 03:55, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
