What We Offer

We want to be upfront about what you can expect from us if you come to work at CKP. Here are some of the things that make our working environment rewarding.

We want to ensure each person we hire is an excellent fit for our culture. That means your CKP colleagues will be authorities and thought leaders in their field. Beyond that, it also means they will be a delight to work with day in and day out. By choosing the right people from the start, we create an office environment where you will be excited to show up, working with people you like and respect, and who like and respect you right back.

Beyond getting to do cool and varied work here, we have a transparent growth structure for everyone in our agency. This structure designates what milestones you must achieve to gain new job titles or move into new roles, learning more outside your functional area as you rise through the organization. Not only do we have this transparent structure for advancement, but we also back it up with a professional development program. We have regular check-ins and development discussions, not just one annual review, where you are encouraged to set and achieve specific goals. You receive ample mentorship and resources to go after your intentions for growth. All along the way, we’ll be spurring you on to take on more significant challenges, do a few things that scare you, and explore the unknown.

We recognize that people have unique circumstances they are living with and through, and we do our best to accommodate all the different things that can happen in our adult lives. We’re agile here, working to meet people where they are and working with them to devise a workplace environment that suits their needs. Beyond the benefit of a generous and flexible working model, our agency combines the best elements of office-based and remote work. We have no set office that we work from daily, so you’ll often be working from home alone.

Our industry rapidly changes, and we’re aware of the transience of strategic and creative talent. We want CKP to be where people can land and grow roots, so we offer a benefits package catering to the whole person. Here, you can find the stability that allows you to broaden your focus beyond work. Our leadership is dedicated to ensuring the benefits and pay at our agency meet and go beyond industry standards. Leadership is constantly improving these benefits to meet current environmental and team needs.

Current benefits include:

  • Group medical and dental insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • 529 College Savings Plan
  • Personal time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid sick days
  • Charitable gift matching
  • Professional Development Allowance
  • Partial cellphone reimbursement
  • Monthly parking allowance

Our Culture Is…

Open

Conversation and connection are the crux of our business offering, and we believe that the same candid storytelling we give our clients must happen internally, too. We share information generously. We are not territorial about what we know, nor do we hold back on what we believe. Our teams are truthful and candid with each other, creating a collaborative environment where healthy debate leads to learning opportunities. More than a willingness to speak up or bring knowledge to the table, we also listen. There is safety here to ask questions, not know all the answers, and wonder aloud.

Balanced

Many agencies are churn-and-burn, operating at a frenzied pace, with the expectation that you can never “turn off.” We don’t work like that here. We believe in balance and operating flexibly to meet individual working schedules and styles. Achieving this balance requires skill in setting boundaries and clarifying expectations. Each person that works here is willing and able to have those conversations, and we have constant dialogue around workload, comfort levels, and lifestyle. We do all we can to protect our people from burnout.

Challenging

This isn’t the average publicist or creative job. We challenge our teams to stretch and pivot, always looking for ways to do things better or differently. Don’t expect anyone to be resting on their laurels here. It’s through this culture of challenge that we progress and improve. We’re eager to innovate and reinvent ourselves and our offerings, frequently asking, “Can we do this even better?” The challenges met aren’t hollow or surface-level — successes will be felt and celebrated across the agency. Here, there is room for everyone to shine.

Supportive

We’ve all heard and read about company cultures mired in politics and toxic habits, places where your every move is monitored and leadership acts hypocritically. That’s not what it’s like to work at CKP. As much as we challenge each other, we support each other. Here, people are helpful and genuine. We treat each other like grown-ups, avoiding micromanaging tendencies and building trust through constant communication. We truly believe we are all in this together. So, we work to resolve conflicts and to grow from our mistakes. This results in a culture without drama, where actual camaraderie and closeness develops, where we support each other in our ambitions and ensure each person succeeds.
