TURNER Public Relations

A note from TURNER’s Founder + President, Christine Turner: I’m beyond proud to share that TURNER has been named one of Outside Magazine’s Best Places to Work in 2024. This honor — the eighth year in a row — isn’t just a testament to our work, it’s a celebration of the people who make TURNER what it is — the creative, diverse and passionate individuals who bring their best selves to work each day. At TURNER, we’ve always been more than just a PR agency. We’re human, in the best sense of the word. We’ve built a culture that is rooted in our values of inclusion, respect and a deep affection for the people who make us who we are. Whether we’re in New York City, Denver, LA, Miami or Chicago, our team embraces the same principles and passions that fuel the brands and organizations we represent. From fashion weeks to cycle and ski trips with clients, we’ve created an environment that reflects the adventurous and collaborative spirit we champion. Our culture is about balance — a work hard, play hard mentality that ensures our team thrives personally and professionally. Our hybrid work schedule gives everyone the flexibility to enjoy their outdoor adventures, and we take the time to step away from our desks with activities like trivia contests and happy hours organized by our Recess committee. One of the reasons I believe TURNER has stood out year after year is our dedication to our team’s personal and professional development. Our TURNER U program ensures that our team stays ahead of industry shifts, the latest trends and cutting-edge tools. And through our TURNER Ignite initiative, each team member receives a stipend for personal and professional growth experiences. Whether it’s attending classes or pursuing passion projects, we believe in empowering our people to grow—not just as employees, but as individuals. This recognition from OUTSIDE is a reflection of our philosophy that caring deeply—about our team, our clients and our work—is not just a nice-to-have but a must-have. It’s in our DNA, and it’s part of what makes TURNER so special. There are a lot of good reasons that TURNER has been included year after year in OUTSIDE's rankings.
