EXO Score Summary

The Poor profile gives buyers too little evidence to justify a shortlist on its own. Ketchum lists 5 services, but no technologies are named, leaving buyers unable to map its delivery layers or technical stack. The strongest concrete signals are a 1,000-9,999 person team, 2 offices, and 3 industry categories; client segment is unspecified, so scale alone does not establish fit for your project or organization. No portfolio cases are published. The 4-star average across 5 reviews is positive but emerging, not broad validation, and no TechBehemoths Award editions are recorded. No company manager is listed, and listing and claim dates are unavailable, so profile tenure and maintenance cannot be assessed or used to explain the gaps. Request relevant case studies, references, confirmation of the proposed stack, and a verified company contact before engaging.

Reviews Summary

The profile has 5 reviews and a 4-star average. That is an emerging, positive signal, but five reviews are too few to provide broad validation or establish a dependable pattern across engagements. Buyers can take the rating as a useful initial reference, not as decisive evidence of delivery consistency. For a shortlist decision, ask for references from clients with needs similar to yours and compare their feedback with the specific project evidence available.

Awards Summary

No TechBehemoths Award editions are recorded, so this profile provides no platform-award recognition to use as corroboration. That absence is not evidence about delivery quality and should not disqualify Ketchum on its own; platform recognition is simply unavailable as a supporting signal here. Buyers should put greater weight on relevant case studies and client references when judging fit. Some companies do not actively engage with the platform, so the missing award record is best treated as neutral.

Claimed Summary

The profile is unclaimed, with no company manager recorded to maintain it and no business-domain verification. Buyers therefore cannot rely on the listing as a company-verified account of current services, offices, or contact details; information may be stale. Confirm the scope, contact route, and responsible company representative directly before relying on profile claims or sending a brief. This listing provides no company-side ownership signal to support its accuracy.

Description Summary

The company description is short, so buyers get little orientation on what Ketchum does, where its expertise lies, or how it approaches delivery. The profile’s five listed services and three industry entries offer some categorization, but they do not explain which strengths matter for a specific brief. Treat the self-description as insufficient for screening. Ask for the relevant service scope, delivery approach, and examples before comparing proposals; the profile alone leaves too much of the company’s positioning unclear.

Portfolio Summary

No portfolio cases are published, leaving buyers with no visible examples of delivered work to judge relevance, scope, or execution. This is a significant evidence gap, not proof of weak delivery, but it means the profile cannot substantiate the company’s experience. Before shortlisting, request case studies closely matched to your project, including the client’s brief, Ketchum’s role, and the outcome. Without that material, buyers have little basis here for comparing its work against alternatives.

Other Summary

The supporting profile picture is incomplete: only 4 of 8 signals are present. Team size and service breadth are the clearest strengths, with a 1,000-9,999 person team and 5 listed services. Industry coverage is limited to 3 categories, and the office count is 2. More importantly, technology focus and client segment are unspecified, while no portfolio work, account managers, or platform contributions are recorded. Buyers can see scale and some service range, but need case studies, a technology match, and client-fit evidence before shortlisting.

How Ketchum compares with other companies in United States

Benchmarked against every other company in United States. See exactly where Ketchum ranks.

How Ketchum compares to other companies based on profile strength?

Ketchum’s profile carries a Poor information-strength label. In New York, lower labels are common, but this still leaves buyers with less to assess than they would find on profiles rated average or higher; the profile does not show how the company performs on client work.For a shortlist decision, treat this as a documentation gap, not a verdict on capability. Request relevant case studies, client references, team details, and evidence of results before comparing Ketchum with providers whose profiles make those points easier to evaluate. A profile may simply not be actively maintained, but the buyer still needs that evidence directly.

How much does Ketchum charge for their services compared to other companies in United States and New York?

Ketchum discloses an hourly range of $70-$150. In New York, $70 is a common listed rate and $150 is also well represented; the range sits in the local mid-market rather than at the lowest or highest disclosed point. It spans from a frequent local rate to a higher, still established rate point.For a buyer, this is a workable budget-fit signal, not a quality ranking. The range may accommodate different roles or project needs, but the profile does not explain what determines the rate or which services it covers. Confirm the relevant rate, team seniority, and expected scope before comparing proposals on cost.

How many services does Ketchum provide compared to other companies?

Ketchum lists 5 services or focus areas, placing it within the common New York range rather than at either extreme. The local distribution includes many profiles at five services, alongside a larger number listing none and a smaller group with broader lists. This is a focused-enough portfolio to assess service by service, not evidence of unusual breadth.For buyers, the count is a useful starting point, not proof of depth. Shortlist Ketchum if the listed areas match the brief, then ask for relevant project examples, named delivery capabilities, and the team responsible for each. The profile supports comparison on stated scope, but buyers should validate experience in the specific services they intend to purchase.

When was Ketchum founded?

Ketchum was founded in 1922, making it long-established relative to the United States distribution. The country data is concentrated among companies founded in the 1990s and later, while dates from the early twentieth century are rare. No New York city comparison is available, so the tenure judgment rests on the national pattern.This date gives buyers a much longer operating history to examine than most profiles can offer, but age alone does not establish current performance or fit. For a shortlist, use the tenure as a reason to ask for evidence of relevant work across the company’s history, including recent projects, and assess that evidence against the present brief.

A portfolio is the only direct evidence of work this company has actually delivered. Without one, you cannot verify quality, style, or scope before committing budget. We recommend prioritizing companies with a documented track record, or requesting work samples directly before proceeding.

Reviews

Reviews summary

Ketchum’s 4.0 average across 5 reviews is an emerging, mixed signal. All 5 are listed on TechBehemoths, with 0 imported, spanning 2017-2019; three are 5-star, one is 4-star and one is 1-star. The record is dated and most comments are brief, so it carries little weight on current delivery.

Reviewers mainly describe Ketchum as a good place to work, mentioning its work environment and exposure to different sectors. One long-tenure account also notes recognition for good work and strong clients. These are workplace observations, not client assessments of campaign delivery, budgets or results.

The lone 1-star review criticizes corporate ethics and teamwork, an isolated but material concern. The feedback covers PR and workplace experience, not performance across the listed branding, social media, web design or advertising services. Ask for a current client reference on a project comparable to your scope.
