Market Position

One of the world's largest independent strategic communications consultancies, advising blue-chip corporations and institutions on high-stakes communications globally

Overview

Finsbury Glover Hering was created in 2021 through the combination of three prominent communications firms: Finsbury (a London-founded financial and corporate communications firm), Glover Park Group (a Washington D.C.-based public affairs consultancy), and Hering Schuppener (a leading German strategic communications firm). The merger brought together complementary geographic strengths and practice areas to create one of the world's largest independent strategic communications consultancies, with deep expertise in financial communications, public affairs, crisis management, and corporate reputation. The combined entity operated under the WPP umbrella, as all three predecessor firms had been part of the WPP group. The firm advised corporations, financial institutions, governments, and high-profile individuals on critical communications challenges including mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, regulatory matters, crisis communications, and stakeholder engagement. With offices spanning major financial and political capitals across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, Finsbury Glover Hering positioned itself as a premier advisor for complex, cross-border communications mandates. In 2022, the Finsbury Glover Hering brand was retired when the firm rebranded as FGS Global, reflecting its ambition as a truly global platform. FGS Global continues to operate today as one of the world's leading strategic communications and public affairs firms, maintaining the same core capabilities and client base under the new unified brand.
