Case Study: Ketchum achieves higher performance and lower costs with Pantheon

Ketchum Standardizes on Pantheon for Higher Performance, Lower Costs

Ketchum, a 90‑year‑old global public relations and marketing agency serving large pharmaceutical, agricultural and government clients, faced a patchwork of hosting—internal hardware, rented servers and multiple clouds—that increased costs, complicated billing and made scaling and lifecycle planning difficult.

After evaluating solutions, Ketchum standardized on Pantheon, a container‑based platform with built‑in version control and dev/test/live environments; Pantheon passed security audits and enabled seamless migrations. The consolidation cut costs, improved performance and scalability, shortened development cycles, freed the team for more strategic client work, and opened new opportunities as clients explored expanded site capabilities.
