Porter Novelli Denies Layoffs; Hiring in Social Media and Green Departments

PRNewser checked with a number of sources following a tip about layoffs at Porter Novelli. According to the tipster, a first round of layoffs earlier this month hit partners and SVPs, with a second round hitting junior and mid-level staffers. Porter Novelli is a division of Omnicom (NYSE: OMC).

George Medici, VP of Media Relations and Christmas tree source has left the company.

I did reach Porter Novelli’s Chief Client Officer Julie Winskie who told me “with candor and honesty” that this is not the case.
