Edelman Acquires Two Overseas Firms

Edelman has expanded its presence overseas with two acquisitions.

The firm is taking its first steps into the Vietnamese market with the purchase of AVC Communications. Once the firm has government approval, the new company will be known as AVC Edelman.

AVC Communications was founded in 2000 and has a staff of 35 focused on various industries (healthcare, technology, and consumer electronics among them) across PR, public affairs, and digital services.

According to the press release announcing the purchase, Vietnam has the 13th largest population in the world and a GDP that has tripled over the past 10 years, with five or six percent growth expected in 2012.
