AT KETCHUM BRUSSELS, WE CREATE WORK THAT MATTERS.

We offer integrated communications strategies which are led by culture and rooted in PR. Discover how our approach sets us apart from the rest. It’s how you’ll see, feel, and know the Ketchum difference.

At Ketchum Brussels, we specialise in delivering PR-rooted campaigns with cultural currency – to garner attention and build influence through earned channels and word of mouth.

We uncover societal and audience insights and distil them into work that matters. That means devising creative concepts and narratives that resonate with your audience and sharing those stories through comprehensive content strategies.

We work with empathy and intelligence – meaning a deep understanding of
your target audience and culture, grounded in data and insights. We’re powered by our people, who offer a diversity of lived experience that goes well beyond the country’s borders. And while we’re a European hub with the strength of Omnicom behind us, we also have a distinctly Belgian soul.


And what underpins all this? The concept of progress at work: moving forward, always, for and with our people, our clients, and society. It encapsulates our goal to redefine and strengthen the impact of PR and communication on both business and our society.

This means we work as an extension of your internal team as a partner and source of counsel. The excellence we deliver builds on our empathy, on our learned and earned insights and our deep specialist industry and communications knowledge. It shines through our people, who bring fresh ideas, and understand that what is being asked for isn’t always the best course of action.

We stand by our principles because we pride ourselves on being the best at what we do.

We have the humility to listen to counsel from others that know better – and ask the same of the people and clients we work with. Ketchum people are brave, curious, inspiring and a force for good.
