These Silver Anvil wins are the latest in a series of top honors recently awarded to Ketchum for its client work.

At that award ceremony, Ketchum also received an honorable mention designation for Large Agency of the Year. In May, Ketchum led the Holmes Group's North American SABRE Awards with 12 award wins; it then won six awards at the EMEA SABRE Awards in Prague. The agency also recently won two Clio Awards and has currently won more Clios than any other public relations agency.
