Overview

Ketchum is one of the world's leading public relations and integrated communications agencies, with a history spanning over a century. Founded in 1923, the firm offers a broad range of services including media relations, brand strategy, digital communications, social media, content marketing, crisis communications, and influencer marketing. Ketchum serves a diverse roster of Fortune 500 clients across sectors such as consumer goods, healthcare, food and beverage, technology, and financial services. As part of the Omnicom Group, one of the largest global advertising and communications holding companies, Ketchum benefits from significant resources, a global network of offices, and cross-agency collaboration. The firm has consistently ranked among the top PR agencies worldwide and has won numerous industry awards, including PRWeek and SABRE awards, reflecting its creative and strategic capabilities. While Ketchum is primarily a PR and communications agency rather than a pure AdTech company, it operates at the intersection of earned media, paid media, and data-driven communications.
