Clients who choose Ketchum ultimately choose us for only one reason -- our people.
Ketchum people aren’t standard PR agency “types.” They are uncommonly curious, smart and passionate about what they do. They like a good challenge, but they like to challenge conventional thinking even more. It’s what makes them the kind of people clients trust with some of the best known brands in the world.
Our core values as an agency are honesty, respect, teamwork, initiative, passion and precision. These are what we stand for. How we stand out is through six guiding principles, which bring our vision to life and help us attract many of the best PR and communications pros in the industry:
Attract and retain distinct talent
People of integrity who respect one another, want to grow professionally, value diverse views, work hard and have fun.
Preserve our client-centered culture
Make sure we continue to forge enduring client partnerships by delivering fresh and actionable insights, compelling creativity and quality work.
Focus on results
Deliver results that clearly show value and drive brand awareness, credibility and loyalty.
Go beyond the obvious
Seek innovative solutions -- from any source -- to address each client’s unique business challenge.
Create communications that get heard
Dominate in media relations and differentiate through innovative media solutions -- deepen relationships by engaging influencers and stakeholders.
Hold each other accountable
Evaluate our performance against fair and objective standards to improve our performance as individuals, teams and a total firm.
At Ketchum, we continually invest in the success of our employees, which is one of the reasons The Holmes Report has regularly named us the number-one PR agency to work for and the number one agency PR practitioners would choose to work for if they left their current firm.
We provide leading-edge technology tools, sabbaticals, opportunities for employees to live their values through pro bono work and continuing professional development that sets the industry standard -- everything from off-site immersion programs to regional seminars to the Road Scholarship program where employees can work in another Ketchum office anywhere in the world.
If Ketchum is continually number one, it’s because our people are. Interested in working at a global agency like no other, full of smart people who continually astound clients with results, who act on their belief that they can change the world one good deed at a time?
