FitzGibbon Media Abruptly Closes Amid Sexual Assault Allegations on Founder

BREAKING: Mass of RFPs to hit the market soon.

Wikileaks. Amnesty International. MoveOn. And the ACLU.

These are a few of the big name clients represented by Washington D.C.-based FitzGibbon Media. At least, they were. Today, the PR firm has shut down.

The agency closed down operations shortly after multiple female employees came forward with accusations of sexual harassment and assault against FitzGibbon. The website is still up but its social media presence is gone. The mutiny even involved a statement on the agency’s Tumblr page:

The team that comprised FitzGibbon Media is incredibly sad and disappointed to confirm that allegations have been made against Trevor FitzGibbon, FitzGibbon Media founder and President, for sexual assault and harassment of multiple female staffers.
