Waggener Edstrom
From Techrights
Waggener Edstrom (or W-E) is Microsoft's main PR agency and also PR department. Steve Ballmer's wife comes from there and the company's early endeavours, as shown in Comes vs Microsoft court exhibits, were tied to W-E. Waggener Edstrom is based near to Microsoft (Washington State) and its questionable PR practices are something we elaborated on before.
