"Ignoring politics is no longer an option for companies," said Jim Joseph, U.S. CEO and Global Chief Marketing and Integration Officer, Ketchum.

A foundational element of this offering will be a proprietary technology tool developed by Ketchum to provide companies with a 360° view of the intersection of news, perspectives of potential voters, and what their key questions are across all 2024 major U.S. issues. Through this new tool, brands can capture deep audience insights into a wide variety of key issues, including unionization and labor; education, geopolitical, infrastructure, social and cultural issues; and more over time. Key services offered through this technology include a monitoring and insights dashboard, diversity, equity and inclusion guidance, message and corporate policies auditing, internal communications recommendations for engaging a polarized workforce, and executive messaging and media training.
