Walker Sands

Walker Sands is a full-service B2B integrated marketing and public relations agency founded in 2001 and headquartered in Chicago's West Loop. The firm works with growth-stage and enterprise companies, and its technical and sector coverage spans artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, fintech, HR tech, martech, retail e-commerce, healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, supply chain logistics and technology. Around 100 clients are served globally.

The agency operates across five offices in the United States - among them Chicago, Seattle and Boston - and employs roughly 180 people in a fully-integrated team structure. Services run from marketing insights and strategy through branding, creative, media, public relations, demand generation and social media.

Central to how the firm works is OBM, or Outcome-Based Marketing: outcomes before channels, audience insights before activations, and measurements before assumptions. The agency describes its integrated marketing programs as combining these disciplines in single engagements for B2B clients.

Walker Sands has been recognised ten times on the Inc. 5000 list and describes itself as one of the fastest-growing B2B agencies in the world. Its website is at walkersands.com.
