PR Daily’s Top Agencies Awards recognize the firms that set the standard for excellence in public relations, marketing and communications. Earning a spot on this prestigious list signals to clients, partners and peers that your agency is among the best in the business. This is your opportunity to showcase your firm’s outstanding work, leadership and impact.

The program celebrates not only top-performing agencies but also those making a difference. Our Agency Impact category honors firms that are committed to giving back to their communities, while Top Agency Workplaces spotlights agencies that prioritize employee growth, engagement and wellbeing while delivering exceptional results.

Agencies that make this year’s list will be recognized at a special live event in December in New York City, where they’ll be in the room with potential clients and industry leaders. Winning this honor doesn’t just elevate your reputation—it puts you in front of those who matter most.

Submit your entry by April 23 and earn the recognition your agency deserves.
