Target Consolidates PR Agencies

Until recently, Target worked with a number of PR agencies. But following a competitive review, Target has consolidated most of its business with Ketchum, a company that did not have a relationship with the retail giant prior to the review. The corporate and product PR business will be handled through Ketchum’s New York and Chicago offices.

In January, Target started to revamp its PR, both internally and externally. This consolidation is the most recent change in the company’s marketing policies. Chief Communications Officer Katie Boylan, who was promoted to the position earlier this year, has been leading the communications department since 2017. “[W]e believe our communications team is at our best when we have the support of agency partners who bring diverse experiences and expertise that complement our team’s strengths,” said Boylan.
