Chicago — Phonak LLC, the United States division of European-based Phonak, has appointed Ketchum Public Relations as its new PR agency. Ketchum is a global PR firm with a notable list of corporate brands.

The account will be led by Ketchum’s Chicago office, which is located near Phonak’s United States headquarters in Warrenville, Ill.
In addition to its commercial goals, Ketchum is slated to help Phonak’s Hear the World Foundation and its commitment to driving awareness of hearing health and the early detection of hearing loss.
