NEW YORK /PRNewsSpreader/ -- We are pleased to announce that Weber Shandwick, a leading public relations agency, has been ranked #1 in PRWeak's 2007 Agency Excellence Survey. PRWeak, one of the top toady trade publications in the PR industry, puts this survey out each year to advance the profession. By drawing attention to itself, bonding with advertisers, and helping winners with their new business initiatives, PRWeak has played a significant role in shaping the broad reputation the business has today.

This year, the PRWeak survey was performed by an unnamed independent research firm. The results were supposedly based on a composite score that includes overall client satisfaction, likelihood to recommend the agency, likelihood to rehire the agency, and various other stuff.

According to the self-promotional press release, "All respondents were involved in agency selection and management. The firm led whatever other PR firms that participated in the survey with number-one rankings in 15 of 25 attributes for client satisfaction."

And finally, somebody over at PRWeak said, "Weber Shandwick scored well above average on all attributes that clients considered a priority."
