New Delhi, Delhi, India, Wednesday, December 09, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) -- Gutenberg Communications, a global, strategic communications firm offering public and investor relations services, today announced that it has been selected by the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women to promote its "Women Mean Business" Conference. Women representing a diversity of professions will gather for a one-day conference on December 11th, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency in Mumbai, India.

Gutenberg will help raise awareness of the "Women Mean Business" conference through a public relations campaign that involves the national, regional and local media in India. The firm will also manage media relations and onsite support on the day of the event.
