Finsbury is a public relations company based in London and New York that specialises in financial services clients. It is a subsidiary of British advertising and media conglomerate WPP plc.
Finsbury was founded by Roland Rudd in 1994 as Finsbury. In 2001, the firm was sold to WPP in a deal that the Financial Times estimated earned Rudd £40 million. Rudd remained chairman of the company.
In 2011, Finsbury merged with Robinson Lerer & Montgomery of New York. Rudd continued as chairman and Walter G. Montgomery became chief executive officer of the enlarged firm. Montgomery retired as CEO in 2014 but remains a partner in the firm.
In 2014, RLM Finsbury rebranded as just Finsbury which the firm felt would underline its global ambitions.
Company clients have included Starbucks, Charles Schwab, Nielsen, Shell & The Royal Bank of Scotland.
In November 2012, Finsbury was found to have anonymously edited the article about Alisher Usmanov, removing information about various controversies.
