as triarc set out , it comprised a jumbled mass of unrelated businesses assembled during the posner era . triarc ' s management was intent on giving the company what it had lacked for decades - - a defined strategic focus - - which meant shedding disparate assets such as lamp manufacturing operations and grapefruit groves and creating a company with a much narrower operating scope . divestitures ensued , leaving the company focused on four areas of interest : soft drinks , fast food , textiles , and liquefied petroleum gas . the company ' s strategic focus would be sharpened further , but initially , amid a series of divestitures , attention had to be paid to resolving the operational difficulties bred under the controversial leadership of posner . by 1995 , much of the healing work was completed , enabling executives to devote their energies toward more positive work . with the proceeds gained from asset sales , triarc assumed an acquisitive posture and began adopting the attributes that described the company at the start of the 21st century .
wendy ' s financial advisors were j . p . morgan securities inc . and greenhill & co . llc . wendy ' s legal advisors were akin gump strauss hauer & feld llp and winston and strawn , and the special committee ' s legal advisor was baker hostetler .

peltz was named chairman and chief executive officer of triarc while may was named president and chief operating officer . the new team appointed a series of new heads for the company ' s subsidiaries . john carson was put in charge of royal crown , donald pierce took over at arby ' s , ronald paliughi headed national propane , and douglas kingsmore was promoted to the top position at graniteville . the ouster of victor posner , the change in management and , perhaps most importantly , the supervision of the company ' s activities by judge lambros did a great deal to shore up dwg ' s balance sheet and improve share value . these provided an important base for the company as it began its transformation into triarc .
supplier code of conduct : in 2016 , wendy’s launched its supplier code of conduct , deployed to the company’s suppliers of food , paper and packaging , which covers topics such as human rights and labor practices , environmentally sustainable business practices and food safety . in 2017 , wendy’s expanded the code of conduct to include additional assurances and requirements related to human rights and labor practices for certain suppliers of hand - harvested , whole fresh produce

we believe the combination of arby ' s and wendy ' s will create a powerful new restaurant company and a ' must own ' restaurant stock with significant upside potential as we execute on the many opportunities we see to expand and improve these two very valuable brands ,
said roland smith .
working together with the wendy ' s team , we expect to improve margins significantly at wendy ' s company - owned stores . we also expect to drive significant synergies and improve efficiency , resulting in substantial annual savings for our combined organization . through the execution of major operating improvements and the realization of synergies , we expect to generate substantial value for shareholders . we also expect to execute on a number of growth initiatives for the combined organization that should further increase shareholder value .

in the meantime , it is always a good idea to regularly monitor card accounts and to quickly report suspicious activity to your bank or credit card company .
as we move through this transition year , we are laying the groundwork for wendy ' s to deliver 10 % to 15 % average annual ebitda growth in 2012 and beyond . we view wendy ' s as one of the most attractive growth stories in the quick - service restaurant industry ,

wendy ' s / arby ' s group expects that arby ' s will be reported as a discontinued operation in wendy ' s / arby ' s group ' s second quarter 2011 financial results . the transaction is expected to close early in the third quarter and is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions , including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the hart - scott - rodino antitrust improvements act of 1976 . the agreement provides for post - closing adjustments to the purchase price , based primarily on net working capital . there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed .
triarc operates and franchises arby ' s , a chain of fast food restaurants specializing in roast beef sandwiches with a total of 3 , 700 company - owned and franchised restaurants nationwide . [ 1 ] in may , 2008 , triarc announced its $ 2 . 4 billion acquisition of wendy ' s international , [ 2 ] one of the world ' s largest hamburger chains , with just under 6 , 000 total restaurants in the united states as well as an additional 600 international locations .

wendy’s has received the final report from its investigator related to the separate malware discussed in wendy’s may 11 update . that malware targeted similar payment card information , including credit or debit card number , expiration date , cardholder verification value , and service code , but did not target customer names .
the aggregate transaction value is estimated to be $ 430 million . the terms of the agreement provide for wendy ' s / arby ' s group to receive at closing approximately $ 130 million of cash , subject to customary adjustments , and retain an 18 . 5 % common stock interest in the arby ' s business expected to be valued at approximately $ 30 million . the buyer will assume approximately $ 190 million of arby ' s - related debt , consisting primarily of capital lease and sale - leaseback obligations . the terms of the transaction will trigger an income tax benefit to wendy ' s / arby ' s group valued at an estimated $ 80 million , which wendy ' s / arby ' s group currently expects to realize over the next few years .

fast food burger chains with the best fries in the u . s . as of june 2015
wendy ' s and arby ' s have been slower to move into the fast - food breakfast market than competitor mcdonald ' s . breakfast sales have propelled growth at mcdonald ' s in the last fiscal year ; 2007 breakfast sales were expected to top $ 8 billion or over a quarter or total sales . breakfast is partly responsible for the discrepancy in the per restaurant sales of the two chains . mcdonald ' s generates $ 1 . 8m per year compared with $ 1 . 4m and $ 1 . 01m at wendy ' s and arby ' s . as of the first quarter of 2008 , wendy ' s offered breakfast menus at 1 , 000 of its 6 , 600 locations . [ 42 ]
rising food costs bite into margins : wendy ' s and arby ' s are both heavily dependent on a wide array of agricultural commodities such as beef , corn , cheese and poultry . over the past few years , the prices of these commodities have increased drastically ; on the other hand , intense competition in the qsr industry limits arby ' s and wendy ' s ability to pass these costs onto customers [ 34 ] .
by 1976 , posner ' s security management company controlled 67 percent of dwg ' s shares . in addition , the parent company held a 44 percent share of nvf and another quasi - investment vehicle , the pennsylvania engineering corporation , a steelmaking equipment manufacturer which posner acquired in 1966 . in turn , dwg held 51 percent of southeast public service company , 42 percent of wilson brothers and 100 percent of national propane . posner ' s corporate conglomerate held few synergies - - particularly within dwg . through his other companies , posner bought small shares of burnup & simms , a small utility service company ; uv industries , a smelting and mining company ; and foremost - mckesson , a large food and drug company . with these similarly undervalued companies in play , and the 13d form on each president ' s desk , these companies scrambled to keep posner out of their boardrooms . their defense strategies varied . foremost - mckesson sought out a rival bidder and uv industries broke up . even in cases where the companies bought up their own shares , posner usually emerged with a handsome profit . if he met no resistance , he ended up with yet another undervalued company to turn around .

the company continued to grow , and in 1954 it became the first beverage company to nationally distribute soft drinks in cans . shortly thereafter , in 1959 , rc became one of the first to introduce the sixteen - ounce bottle . the company produced the first low - calorie diet cola ( diet rite ) , the first caffeine - free diet cola ( rc 100 ) , and the first diet cherry cola ( diet cherry rc ) . yet despite such innovations , royal crown products reportedly reached only 2 . 5 percent of the soft - drink market in the mid - 1990s ; coke was the leader with about 43 percent , just ahead of pepsi , which had about 31 percent of the market share . today , none of the top - ten - selling soft drinks are royal crown products .

regarding the acquisition , kathy bloomgarden , global ceo , ruder finn , said , “as a company co - headquartered in china with over 25 years of experience in the country , we’ve developed numerous strengths and gained diverse experiences that have allowed us to thrive in the region . this integration of kyodo’s china assets gives us a unique ability to support japanese clients gain greater insights into the chinese market , as well as strengthen our reputation in the asia - pacific region . after a phenomenal year of global double - digit growth in 2014 , we’re on track for continued growth this year as we strategically expand our business offerings and client portfolio around the world . ”
a real estate professional who works with pr firms and asked to remain anonymous noted , “while it is a great building , that is a very odd location for a public relations firm to be located – 53rd street , between first avenue and sutton place south . how does an employee who lives in long island commute there ? even the subway or bus is a schlep . as a real estate investment it could make sense – as a pr firm office , it’s odd . is there an executive of the firm who lives nearby and does not want to move ? maybe… but some may venture that the employees & clients of ruder finn may not love this location .
the reality is my sister kathy and i have different visions of what we want our company to be ,
mr . finn told ad age .
this move will make it possible for me to run a company that ' s driven by my vision and for her to run a company driven by her vision .
two years ago , ruder finn rebranded and repositioned rfi studios , a subsidiary already in existence in the us for the last 18 years .
we decided to spin it off and make it a standalone division to address specific social media needs of our clients . that doesn’t mean the other teams don’t do social media as an integrated part . what it means is that rfi studios approaches specific lines for social media and work solutions .
in asia , rfi studios looks at areas such as online word - of - mouth , key opinion leaders and does this through channels such as weibo , wechat campaigns , content development and the like . it can also review and improve websites , online platforms and more technical elements .
the social ceo study points to what successful leadership looks like and that the ceos that have a greater focus on open communication and transparency tend to be more successful . this research shows just how valuable the role of communications is across ceo thought leadership on social media has become . ruder finn researched the social media presence of 100 ceos from across 13 industries , primarily in technology , pharmaceuticals and consumer goods . data was collected covering the timeframe of january 2016 to june 2017 . company performance is based on comparisons to the s & p ; 500 index over the same time period . of the ceos researched , 50 are present on twitter , 50 are on linkedin , and 13 are on facebook . “high - performing” companies are defined as those that had above - average stock price growth against the s & p ; 500 index during the research timeframe .

“we ' re hopeful we can bring both traditional pr and tactics in the social and digital space that are going to have a strong focus on elevating the awareness of the brand , ” he said .
in 1999 , they formed rfi studios , a digital practice helping clients with their online presence . the move was groundbreaking in the industry – displaying their forward thinking – long before social media when the web’s biggest contender was still aol . later they began expanding in asia , opening offices in beijing ( now their co - headquarters ) , hong kong , shanghai , guangzhou , delhi , singapore , bangalore , and mumbai . earlier in 2015 they acquired japan’s largest independent pr agency , kyodo public relations .

bloomgarden doesn ' t just serve the public relations needs for over 250 corporations , governments and non - profits . she ' s also a member of the council on foreign relations and has written a book entitled , ' trust : the secret weapon of effective business leaders ' .
cnn : you speak about five languages and you ' ve got three degrees . where did you think that was going to take you in that time in your life ?
kathy bloomgarden : well , i was always fascinated by languages and i wanted to be a global person . so i was fortunate enough to start learning french from even before school - - i began nursery school even . . . and that sent me on a journey for thinking about how i could really understand different societies and cultures and really be able to communicate with people and live locally in many different settings .
cnn : your father founded the company back in 1948 when the pr industry was in its infancy . he was something of a formidable thinker and a bit of a renaissance man . were you aware of his reputation growing up ?
kb : absolutely . i was fortunate enough to be able to go around with him . and he worked for wonderful institutions , including the un for many years - - so i met many of the secretary generals as a child . he worked for the vatican , so i had a chance to meet the pope and to attend mass at christmas eve . it was a very exciting , really inspiring time as i grew up serving as an interpreter in some of these countries when he was traveling .
kb : you can ' t talk your way out of that one . you have to really deliver results . the more you can develop an exciting business and really do things that become a hallmark for the firm , that ' s when you gain your recognition .
kb : i never would think that i ' ve made it . . . as a typical american who came from an immigrant family , there ' s still something of that in my dna . everything could change tomorrow . so never think that you ' ve made it . always think ,
what am i going to do tomorrow to make sure that i ' m still staying in a strong position ?
kb : i always ask myself this question , maybe because i ' m in the field of public relations . but people haven ' t - - i ' ve never felt held back , in terms of my gender . but i always felt that i ' ve had to work extra hard . so maybe that ' s why i didn ' t face that problem or challenge .
kb : i think there can be a reverse bias that sets in . i try to encourage men and women to come into communications . . . . we might see more men coming into the pr firm because the remuneration is good . . . i think diversity both ways is a good thing .
kb : believe you can do anything you want to do is really the key for me . and don ' t be afraid . take risks . be really bold in your thinking . close your eyes and dream about what you want to achieve and then just go and do it .

i n the battle to shape public opinion on global warming , the big polluters are fighting dirty . in tandem with their air war of bogus advertising , the major carbon - emitting industries are mobilizing phony grassroots troops on the ground to lobby against the global climate change treaty being negotiated this week in kyoto , japan . and some of those troops would be right at home in tim mcveigh’s militia unit .
gcc chairman william o’keefe , an executive with the american petroleum institute , kickstarted this secret coalition in 1996 when he hired former lobbyist susan moya to set up a national network of “grassroots” groups , a network that now includes dozens of industry - funded astroturf groups in several states .
moya denied the existence of her astroturf network , but the mojo wire has obtained a memo that says otherwise , written by moya herself . moya and gcc refused to answer questions about their grassroots setup , but some of the corporate - funded astroturf groups named in her memo , including texas citizens for a sound economy and people for the west , confirmed that they were part of moya’s network of “state grassroots leaders , ” and that they received this memo . moya’s network also includes right - wing extremist groups , some of them downright wacky :
chairman henry lamb boasted that his wise use anti - environmental network could deliver thousands of astroturf phone calls urging congress to spike the kyoto treaty , says a business lobbyist who attended the meeting . ( lamb also labeled sen . john chafee ( r - r . i . ) a “socialist” for his efforts to curb pollution in new england . ) duly impressed , gcc chairman o’keefe , who was directing the meeting , pledged to give lamb whatever resources he needed for astroturf lobbying .
so what ? so sovereignty international is a leading promoter of united nations paranoia , claiming that environmentalism is part of a plot to establish a “one world government . ” the group was founded in 1988 by lamb ; tom mcdonnell of the american sheep industry association , who has collaborated with lyndon larouche followers ; and dr . michael coffman , a self - styled expert on global environmentalism who did a national speaking tour this summer sponsored by the john birch society . his topic : the u . n . - corporate - environmentalist conspiracy to seize private land in america , hand it over to wild animals , and herd all the humans into crowded communities .
wise use groups nationwide . though her name didn’t appear on fly - in materials , mcdonald appeared on a panel on global environmental issues , and gave a presentation to the assembled anti - enviros . her message was familiar : global warming is just a theory , and even if it’s real , it can’t be blamed on the co2 polluter industries . mcdonald , a former clinton appointee turned corporate lobbyist , also spoke briefly at a fly - in luncheon sponsored by
in november , gcc organized a “national conference” in washington , d . c . opposing the clinton administration’s position on global warming . invited speakers , representing groups like the united mine workers and the south carolina black chamber of commerce , complained that the kyoto treaty “could raise taxes , drive up consumer prices and change american lifestyles . ” but while the guest list seemed pretty mainstream , gcc’s conference was sponsored by radical anti - enviros and astroturfers , including clean water act foes the
an anti - environmental umbrella group run by new world order crank henry lamb . founded and funded by land developers , eco claims to network
wise use groups , most of them funded by the extractive industries . for an in - depth look at eco and its ties to other right - wing and corporate astroturf groups fighting the kyoto treaty , click
astroturf crew . to protest the kyoto treaty , cse fielded handfuls of demonstrators in dallas in october , atlanta and chicago in september , and boston in june—some of them sporting military camouflage , blue helmets , and signs saying “50 cent u . n . gas tax . ” the dallas stunt ( see photo above ) was co - sponsored by the
, a corporate - funded free - market think tank . cse’s patrick burns appears on moya’s contact list—when we asked burns if his group had coordinated its “grassroots” demonstrations with the gcc , he hung up the phone .
epa’s global warming web site offers in - depth explanations of the science and the treaty . corporate watch’s kyoto site tracks big - business influence on the treaty negotiations . the environmental working group’s clear site tracks hundreds of anti - environmental groups and their funders , complete with a searchable database .

your trust is our top concern , so companies can ' t alter or remove reviews .
during my time there i met a few really good people . creative and client focused .
family led , clique centered firm - surprising lack of support even for new business development . no formal new business platform .
continue to listen to junior staff and their interests to encourage placing them on accounts that fit their interests and development needs . mid - year reviews and annual reviews , keep them on your radar .
great place to learn - they really give you a lot of opportunities that you wouldn ' t get in a typical large agency including access to senior leadership .
office space is nice and open , but it would be great to see more opportunities to work and mix with people in different groups .
culture is terrible , super cold and uninviting . the office is always quite no one talks . untalented people have the biggest ego and for some reason think they run the show . nothing makes sense and there is zero order .
if you ' re interested in traditional public relations tactics and processes , then this is your perfect agency .
the et program is a great way to meet new peers interested in pursuing careers in pr and communications .
the people . the culture ( lack there of ) . human resources ( not on - site and unresponsive ) ; management
lots of opportunity to voice your ideas , smart / driven colleagues , great office space .
