Parker and Lee

Parker and Lee

Founded in 1904 by Ivy Lee and George F. Parker in New York City, Parker and Lee was at one time the third largest public relations firm in the United States.

The firm rose quickly in the years immediately after its founding, gaining lucrative clients like the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in 1906, which was at the time under public scrutiny for denying information and interviews to journalists. Parker and Lee also worked for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company during the controversial 1915 oilmen's strike, and later worked to end the American trade embargo on the Soviet Union. The firm came under fire during WWII because it had done consulting work for German industrial giant IG Farben.
