Brown Lloyd James is a public relations firm with offices in New York, Washington, D.C., London, and Doha.[1]

Notable campaigns

The firm has represented a number of high-profile clients, including Al Jazeera English, the Shafallah Center for Children with Disabilities, and the Kingdom of Morocco.[2][3][4] In 2006, the firm coordinated the launch of Al Jazeera English in the United States.[5]

The firm has been criticized for representing controversial clients such as Asma al-Assad, Muammar Gaddafi and supporters of the People's Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK/MKO).[6][7][8]

In 2011, it was criticized for working with the First Lady of Syria to organize a Vogue profile.[9][10] In July 2012, Ynetnews described the firm's May 2011 email released by WikiLeaks as one of the Syria Files by stating that the email gave advice "on how to create the appearance it is pursuing reform while repressing the uprising".[11][12] The firm responded that the document was not paid for, was a "'last-ditch' effort 'to encourage a peaceful outcome rather than violence', which the government subsequently ignored and that it was sent to Asma al-Assad, the wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.[13]
