PR Daily Announces 2026 Top Agencies List, Honorees and Finalists

Agencies, workplaces, executives, rising stars and campaigns will be celebrated at a live luncheon on Dec. 2 at City Winery in New York City.

CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 24, 2026 – PR Daily is proud to announce the 2026 Top Agencies Awards list, honorees and finalists, recognizing the agencies, workplaces, leaders and campaigns setting the standard across public relations, marketing and communications.

PR Daily’s Top Agencies Awards is one of the industry’s most competitive recognition programs, and this year’s class reflects the strategy, creativity and leadership behind the industry’s best agency work. PR Daily congratulates every agency, executive, rising star and campaign team earning recognition.

The 2026 Top Agencies list includes 61 agencies, and 10 agencies were named to the 2026 Top Agency Workplaces list. Both are list recognitions, which means every agency named has earned its place with no further judging ahead.

Six executives were named 2026 Top Agency Executive Honorees and five professionals were named 2026 Rising Star Honorees, recognizing the leaders and rising talent driving agencies forward. Like the lists, these honors are confirmed.

Finalists have been named in 10 campaign-focused categories: Agency Impact Awards; Best Use of AI / Innovation; Crisis / Issues Management Campaign; Digital, Social & Creator Campaign; Event / Experiential Campaign; Healthcare Campaign; Media Relations Campaign; Nonprofit Campaign; Public Affairs Campaign; and Thought Leadership / Executive Visibility Campaign. Unlike the lists and honorees, finalists are still in the running, with winners and Honorable Mentions to be announced live on stage at the luncheon.

Among the agencies named to the 2026 Top Agencies list are:

  • Bospar
  • Brodeur Partners
  • FINN Partners
  • Global Strategy Group
  • The Hoffman Agency
  • MikeWorldWide
  • Mower
  • Peppercomm
  • Racepoint Global
  • RF|Binder

See the full list of 2026 Top Agencies, Top Agency Workplaces, honorees and finalists here.

All of this year’s recognition comes together on Wednesday, Dec. 2, at the 2026 Top Agencies Awards Luncheon at City Winery in New York City. Agencies and honorees earning a place on the lists will be celebrated alongside the finalists, and campaign winners and Honorable Mentions will be revealed live on stage.

The luncheon will bring together agency leaders, in-house communicators and potential clients for an afternoon of recognition and connection, giving honorees the chance to share the moment with their teams and be in the room with the people shaping the industry. Reserved tables of 10 and individual seats are available, and agencies are encouraged to bring the teammates, clients and partners behind the recognition.

“This year’s class shows what the best of the agency world looks like,” said Brendan Gannon, director of marketing for Ragan and PR Daily. “We’re proud to recognize the agencies and people behind the work, and we can’t wait to celebrate them in New York City on December 2.”
