Every CooperKatz team member is different, but there’s one thing we all agree on: CooperKatz is a great place to work. And we can think of a number of reasons why! So to celebrate our 17th anniversary this May, here is a selection of 17 elements of both our culture and client work that make us smile.
For all our current and former clients, employees, partners and other "friends of CK family" ...please feel free to use the Comments space below to share anything you'd add to our list!
Last week, the CooperKatz team helped out at the annual Skating with the Stars event benefiting Figure Skating in Harlem (FSH), an organization that offers year-round academic and fitness programs for underserved girls. This is CK’s fourth year participating in the event that takes place at Trump Rink in Central Park.
While CK worked with FSH staff to gather celebrities, coordinate media coverage, manage the press tent, tweet and more, guests glided side-by-side with figure-skating royalty including Johnny Weir, Evan Lysacek, Scott Hamilton, Sarah Hughes and Tara Lipinski. Actress Tamara Tunie, fashion expert Carson Kressley, Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin and renowned designer Vera Wang were just a few of the celebrities also in attendance.

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of our agency co-founder, dear friend, mentor and PR industry luminary, Andy Cooper. While Andy lost his battle with cancer at the age of 64, CooperKatz will never be without his guiding presence.
Doug Simon of D S Simon Productions interviewed Ralph Katz, co-founder and principal of CooperKatz, about the agency being named a top 10 hot PR shop by Ad Age.

While taxpayers can (mostly) breathe a sigh of relief now that the fiscal cliff has been averted, the weeks leading to the year-end negotiations were flooded with uncertainty and hype. Top members of the media were scrambling to keep up with each sound bite and rumored deal coming out of Capitol Hill – and were often struggling to interpret the possible impact on average Americans.
In the midst of the fiscal cliff whirlwind, CooperKatz helped position long-time client, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, and its Chief Tax Officer Mark Steber, as a top ‘tax-pert’ on the issue – arranging a series of face-to-face interviews with some of the top consumer news outlets in the country.
