Cookerly Public Relations Retains The Clean Air Campaign for Eleventh Consecutive Year

(ATLANTA – October 26, 2009) Cookerly Public Relations is pleased to announce that after a competitive re-bid process, The Clean Air Campaign® has elected to continue working with its long-time public relations partner for another three-year contract term covering 2010-2012. This is the third time that the agency has retained the business in an open request for proposals, after its initial win in 1999.

Over Cookerly’s 10-year relationship with The Clean Air Campaign, both organizations have grown and adapted to the changing communications landscape. As The Clean Air Campaign has come to face different challenges and encountered new needs, Cookerly has successfully developed communication strategies that anticipate and respond to new trends in environmental advocacy and public relations.

“Cookerly’s successful re-bid is the result of much more than our most recent proposal to The Clean Air Campaign,” said Senior Vice President Candace McCaffery. “This decision reflects our agency’s commitment to making their values a part of our corporate culture so that our advocacy reflects a genuine passion for and investment in their cause.”
