BOSTON–Cone Communications last week was named public relations agency of record by Dunkin’ Donuts.





The assignment concluded a six-month review that originally included some of the public relations industry’s heaviest hitters, including incumbent Hill & Knowlton and Edelman Public Relations Worldwide, both in New York.





Only two shops were asked to participate in a final round, which included a strategic marketing assignment and a series of meetings between agency and client executives. Those two shops, sources said last week, were Cone in Boston and Cohn & Wolfe in New York.





The review was coordinated by Laurie Kiely, director of retail marketing for Dunkin’ Donuts.
