The Holmes Report:
"Best agency to work for"

Our work is consistently recognized as innovative and creative, both by clients and by industry awards.

Our team structure engages employees at all levels in high-quality client service and decision-making. Read our Credo + Values here.

Mak University

Mak University, the firm's continuing education program, was created to promote professional staff development. It includes a core curriculum of seminars and workshops throughout the year.

Programs are conducted by a combination of Makovsky staff and guest speakers, and the curriculum is reviewed and updated annually.

"We Achieve" program

Our "We Achieve" program recognizes individual contributions of our employees. Exceptional performance can be rewarded with higher pay, bonuses, increasing responsibilities and new challenges. Click here to watch a short video about We Achieve.

Comprehensive benefits

Makovsky + Company employee benefits include medical, dental, vision, prescription drug, life insurance, short and long-term disability and a 401(k) plan, which includes a generous company match.

Company culture

Our culture is built on a foundation of treating employees as well as it does its clients – no small task, given that building client loyalty is the centerpiece of the Makovsky philosophy.

"We are all each other's client," says president Ken Makovsky. "Employee enthusiasm breeds client enthusiasm."

Internship program

We take great pride in our internship program. In fact, several members of our professional team began as interns. Internship positions are open to third-and fourth-year college students as well as recent graduates.

To apply, contact the internship coordinator by email and include a cover letter, resume and writing samples.

Expert Advice

The PR industry's positive momentum is evident among entry-level and junior-level pros.

In 2009, as our industry faced the “Great Recession,” we were all challenged to protect the bottom line; for most companies, all else was secondary.

In 2010, PR agency Ketchum created Mindfire, a crowdsourcing community for students with proven creativity, communications and digital skills.

Steve Seeman, SVP and Director of Human Resources at Makovsky + Co. in New York City, was named Human Resources Executive of the Year.

If recession has a silver lining, maybe it’s that we can all relax a little about our employees, staff turnover and professional development.
