About Ruder Finn India:

Ruder Finn is one of the world’s largest independent communications agencies. Born in New York in 1948 with a restless ‘What’s Next’ spirit that still drives us today, it was one of the first PR agencies in the world. From bold ideas to breakthrough storytelling, we help brands, leaders, and causes stay ahead in a world that never stands still. In India, our journey has been nothing short of electric. In just 7 years, we’ve scaled from a boutique agency to one of the fastest-growing large agencies in the country. Along the way, we’ve built a culture where people grow, experiment, and shine, proven by consistently leading the people and campaign award wins. With 250+ awards in the last 5 years and titles like Mid-Sized Agency of the Year and Large Agency of the Year (multiple times), we’re not just part of the conversation. We’re shaping it.

Why Ruder Finn India?

At Ruder Finn, we don't just do PR - we shape what's next. Here's why you'll love being part of our story:

• Tech at the core: Whether it's healthcare, consumer, or corporate, we bring a tech-first lens to everything we do. From RF.AIO to our Tech Lab and RF Studio, innovation isn't a department here, it's a mindset.

• Talent comes first: We believe in meritocracy and back it up by investing heavily in learning, development, and young leadership. If you've got the drive, you'll get the stage.

• Living "What's Next": Curiosity and hunger fuel us. We don't wait for trends; we build them.

• Punching above our weight: From social-first storytelling for global icons like Meta and Adobe, to high-energy campaigns with LGP and MG - we play in big leagues with bold ideas.

• Work hard, play harder: Yes, we deliver for our clients, but we're equally passionate about telling our own story. #LifeAtRF is about creativity, camaraderie, and culture - and our people bring it alive every day. Check it out- https://www.instagram.com/ruderfinnindia/
