Thoughts on Ketchum agency culture / CEO.

I love Ketchum. There are a ton of really smart, talented people at the agency and the culture is one that is a family type of vibe. You don’t really see a lot of political/hierarchy BS and you truly can make your career what you want it to be. They prioritize creativity, which I love. People truly feel like a team there and in my experience I’ve been able to grow and still find ways to have work life balance and flexibility as my personal life has changed. There are a lot of people who stay with Ketchum for a long time, which is a testament to its great culture. The CEO has also been with the company a long time, but is newer in her role as CEO. She’s accessible and transparent. I know I sound like I’m drinking the kool aid, but I have been really happy with Ketchum. What office are you looking at? Of course there are some culture nuances in each office, but overall a great agency.

On a superficial note, Ketchum is made up probably 85% of attractive 20-something women somehow

I don't want to leave the roles despite the overwhelm.
