DALLAS, Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ketchum, a world leader in communications and public relations, today announced the promotion of partner Jamey Peters to director of Ketchum South, which includes both the Dallas and Atlanta offices.
Peters has nearly two decades of experience and in-depth knowledge of media relations, financial communications, issues management and retail brand marketing.

"Under Jamey's leadership, Ketchum South has become a powerhouse with expertise running the gamut from brand to corporate with specialties in energy, travel, retail and food.

"Jamey's commitment to building seamless teams allows Ketchum to deliver outstanding results, and he is recognized among colleagues for his incredible spirit and strong commitment to mentoring others."

Our top-notch teams deliver outstanding programs and drive real business impact for our clients in corporate reputation, consumer branding and internal communications."
Diana Garza Ciarlante will now report to Peters as she continues in her role leading the Atlanta office as director, where she has been successfully managing the office's leadership team, ensuring top-quality client service, driving growth, and attracting the market's top communications talent since she rejoined the firm in 2014.
