We are looking for Fellows to join us this summer! Fellows will be hired across our offices in North America and work hand in hand with account teams to learn the business, serve clients and develop their integrated communications skills.
About Ketchum:
As a global communications consultancy with 90 plus years of experience, Ketchum is a trusted partner who is equal parts creative and analytical. Ketchum is a place where all perspectives and points of view are welcome and encouraged. We are a collection of communications specialists, content creators, creatives, researchers, data analysts, media pros, digital strategists, issues and crisis counselors, and tech nerds.

We are beyond proud to have created some of the most celebrated and award-winning campaigns in our industry.

You would bring strong writing skills, creative thinking abilities, intellectual curiosity, awareness (and perhaps obsession) with current trends, impeccable multitasking abilities, social media savviness and a strong work ethic. You should also be eager to learn and willing to go above and beyond. You'll be an integral part of one of our practice areas contributing to your team's efforts on your very first day!
