Mekky Media Relations uses wellness to reach its 6 core values

Mekky Media Relations, the boutique Chicago-based PR agency, believes that if its team does not feel connected to their work, their co-workers and themselves, then it can’t successfully embody the firm’s six core values: passion, commitment to excellence, trust, authenticity, creativity and teamwork.

Wellness is an essential part of those values, embedded in the agency’s culture since its founding in 2016. In fact, monthly well-being workshops are now an ongoing initiative at Mekky. The idea for the workshops came late in 2019, as the full-time staff began to grow. That growth raised the question: How can we offer something meaningful? For Mekky, that meant renting out the gym in its office building and providing guided yoga sessions with smoothie socials.
