The Ward Group, L to R:  Lou, Jim, KC, Jerry, Tom
We combine rigorous methodology with a personal approach.
The Ward Group is one of the nation's leading executive search and organization consulting firms specializing in marketing and communications. We are retained for executive-level searches to satisfy specific needs within an organization, as well as to:
  • Help companies achieve their next level of growth
  • Enhance an organization's senior management team
  • Manage transition effectively
For over 20 years, we have taken pride in delivering outstanding results with an innovative approach deeply rooted in old-fashioned values: listening more than talking, investing in relationships rather then merely transacting, respecting the personal attributes of both our clients and candidates.

Whereas our searches initially focused in the Agency and Consumer Packaged Goods worlds, as marketing has emerged as a key function in other industries, our client base has extended into Financial Services, Technology, E-Commerce, Higher Education and Healthcare.

Now, in the professional services arena, our clients include advertising, public relations, interactive, and relationship marketing agencies, as well as consulting firms. And our corporate clients cover a broad array of industries and include Fortune 500 companies, as well as emerging enterprises. In higher education, our clients include colleges and universities seeking talent in management, marketing, institutional advancement, and enrollment, among other areas.

As our approach to Executive Search brought us deeper into our clients' business, many clients sought our counsel to help them re-evaluate their organization in terms of its structure, business process and people. As a result, our Organization Consulting practice was developed to help clients grow their businesses or institutions in a more strategic manner.

We provide the level of expertise, reach and depth found in larger search firms with the personal approach and agility that only a smaller firm can provide.
