3/ In October 2021, #Edelman signed a €992,000 contract to provide the Greek government with services including the design and implementation of strategy and management of Greece’s relations with international media.

5/ A recent report in the Financial Times, in February 2023, noted that Ed Williams, the CEO for #Edelman in Europe, is an advisor to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

7/ According to documents in Solomon’s possession and published in Greece’s e-procurement portal, #Edelman’s contract with the Greek State seems to be following over time the company’s link with the Greek government.
