Sydney PR agency Open Dialogue – now remonickered as Access PR – has severed ties with M&C Saatchi, which had an 80% stake in the boutique PR firm – named B&T’s PR Agency of the Year in 2007. Reports say all of the firm’s 31 clients and staff have jumped ship with the new agency which has changed name to Access Public Relations after M&C Saatchi barred Rochelle Burbury and fellow managing partner Andrea Kerekes from trading under the same name.
