We’re proud to share that Strategic Communications has been named the #13 Best Place to Work in Louisville by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce for 2025. This recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects the workplace culture we’ve worked hard to build — one where our team members can grow professionally while maintaining balance in their personal lives.
The Kentucky Chamber’s Best Places to Work program is highly competitive, with companies across Louisville submitting their applications for evaluation. The selection process examines workplace policies, practices, and company philosophy, while also incorporating confidential employee feedback through comprehensive surveys.
“This recognition validates what I witness every day—a team of dedicated professionals who bring both expertise and genuine enthusiasm to their work,” says CEO Kathy Mills. “We’ve intentionally built a culture where people feel valued, where collaboration is the norm, and where everyone has the support they need to excel. While awards are gratifying, what matters most is seeing our team members thrive both professionally and personally. That energy and engagement directly benefits every client we serve.”
A Consistent Track Record
This latest honor continues our strong performance in workplace recognition programs over the past decade:
- 2014: Ranked #10 Small Business in Kentucky Best Places to Work
- 2015: Advanced to #9 Small Business in Kentucky Best Places to Work
- 2016: Maintained our #9 Small Business ranking
- 2017: Recognized as #29 Small Business in Kentucky Best Places to Work
These awards represent more than external validation—they demonstrate our sustained commitment to creating an environment where our team can produce their best work while feeling genuinely supported.
What Sets Us Apart
Our success in these rankings stems from core principles that guide how we operate as a company and treat our people.
Collaborative Culture
We’ve found that the best creative solutions emerge when different perspectives come together. Our office design and company policies encourage cross-departmental collaboration, whether that’s a spontaneous brainstorming session or a planned strategy meeting. When team members share insights across projects, everyone benefits—including our clients.
Investment in Professional Growth
We believe in supporting our team’s career development through conference attendance, skills workshops, and ongoing training opportunities. Whether someone wants to deepen their expertise in digital marketing or develop leadership skills, we provide both the resources and encouragement to help them succeed.
Community Engagement
We believe in giving back to the Louisville community that supports our business. Throughout the year, we provide numerous opportunities for our team to participate in meaningful community initiatives. Our staff regularly joins charitable walks including the Walk for Parkinson’s and Walk for Heart Health, combining physical activity with fundraising for important causes. During the holiday season, we partner with the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, where team members shop for gifts to fulfill wish lists for local families in need. These volunteer opportunities strengthen our team bonds while making a positive impact in our community.
The Business Impact
When employees feel engaged and supported, it creates positive outcomes throughout the organization. Our team brings higher levels of creativity and commitment to client projects, resulting in stronger campaign performance and better business results. The stability that comes with high employee satisfaction also means our clients work with consistent account teams who develop deep understanding of their brands and objectives.
Looking Forward
While we’re celebrating this achievement, we view it as motivation to continue improving. The communications industry evolves rapidly, and staying competitive requires not only keeping pace with new trends and technologies, but also maintaining a team culture that attracts and retains top talent.
We’re already planning enhancements for the coming year, including expanded professional development programs, additional wellness initiatives, and workspace improvements that will foster even greater collaboration and innovation.
This #13 ranking reinforces our position as a leading communications agency in Louisville and demonstrates our ability to attract the skilled professionals who drive our clients’ success. We’re grateful to every team member whose daily contributions make recognition like this possible, and we look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead.
