Fenton Communications is a public relations firm that was founded by David Fenton in 1982. They describe themselves as the "largest public interest communications firm in the country",[1] and maintain offices in Washington, DC, San Francisco, and New York.[2][3]

They specialize in public relations for not-for-profit organizations, and state that they do not represent clients that they do not believe in themselves.[1] Their client list includes organizations associated with an array of social issues, but they are most known for their work with liberal causes such as MoveOn.org and Greenpeace.[citation needed] In 2009, Fenton was selected by the Wikimedia Foundation for a $250,000 project to “build the credibility of its popular Wikipedia site and help boost the organization’s fund-raising efforts."[4]

The Center for Global Food Issues criticized Fenton for "spreading fear" related to some environmental issues, such as pesticide control, while having only weak evidence to support their position.[5]

Fenton Communications is closely allied with Environmental Media Services.[citation needed]
