Cons: they're one letter away from Ketchup

I used to work there years ago and also was considering an offer from them when I was considering Edelman. Ketchum is great but it's...comfortable. It's like a really dependable Honda. Like you know it will get you from A to B, but it's not all that exciting to drive.

A decent bunch of smart, kind people. But the agency is going through a rough patch at the mo, particularly in the US. Avoid until they are back on their feet!

My main impression of Ketchum is you do work for shady governments

^ Like the U.S. one?

Best culture and people in the business. But I'm biased.

And the conceit on shady work for foreign governments is BS

Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)
