Benador Associates was a public relations firm and speakers' bureau founded around 2002 that promoted expert writers and speakers focusing primarily on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
Benador Associates described its areas of specialization as "media applied to politics, conflict resolution, the dialogue of civilisations, foreign policy, national security, anti-terrorism, defense of human rights and freedom of religion, among others."
The CEO and founder of the firm, Eleana Benador, is a Peruvian-born linguist-turned-publicist. Her clients include Richard Perle, the former chairman of the Defense Policy Board; former CIA director James Woolsey; New York Daily News columnist A. M. Rosenthal; American Enterprise Institute resident scholar Michael Ledeen; National Review contributing editor Frank Gaffney Jr.; former Washington Times editor in chief Arnaud de Borchgrave; former Secretary of State Alexander Haig Jr.; and Iraqi dissident Kanan Makiya, a Brandeis professor who advocated the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
In December 2007, Eliana Benador announced that she was forming Benador Public Relations and would no longer be involved with Benador Associates. Benador Associates now appears to be defunct.
