Edelman yesterday announced that it, "consolidated its three digital entities into one global operating unit now known as Edelman Digital." Those three digital entities are Edelman Interactive Solutions, me2revolution, and Edelman Mobile.

PR Week: "The unit current has more than 120 global staff members and expects to hire 30 more...the me2revolution brand will continue mostly as an internal operation."

As of the time of this post, Edelman Digital president Rick Murray has not returned a PRNewser phone call asking for comment.

Edelman scored big in Advertising Age's Agency of the Year Special Report. The agency, which grew 26% globally in 2007 to $376 million in revenue, was the only PR agency listed in top 10 "Agency A-List," while CEO Richard Edelman was named Agency Executive of the Year.

AdAge's Matthew Creamer interviewed Richard, with topics including social media, the Wal-Mart "fake blog" blunder, and why he chooses to keep Edelman independent.
