RENEWPR is a PR News 2027 Agency Elite Top 120 Honoree!

Today, PR News announced the 2027 Agency Elite Top 120, the “most respected agency roster in PR and communications.” And this time, RENEWPR is on the list.

Wow.

If you had told me twenty years ago, when I was a Senior Vice President at FleishmanHillard, that I’d be President of my own firm and it would be listed alongside FleishmanHillard as one of the top 120 public relations firms in the United States, I would have laughed.

If you had told me twelve years ago, when I was researching agency names and writing and rewriting a potential business plan for what became RENEWPR, that I’d build an agency that would be nationally recognized for excellence, I wouldn’t have believed you.

And if you had told me four years ago, when I was inspired by the success of firms like Global Gateway Advisors, PAN and Silverline (all run by friends and all included in this year’s list), that I’d be included in such great company as an equal, I would have been dumbfounded.

But here we are. And I say “we” intentionally. RENEWPR may be a labor of love for me, but it’s also a collaborative effort involving nearly 50 clients, ten Team members, more than half a dozen industry network partners, one dozen fellow members of The Change Agencies, one husband and nearly twelve years of hard work. It doesn’t just take a village, it takes a community. I have been so fortunate to be surrounded and supported by an amazing group of clients, colleagues and friends.

I’m thrilled with this recognition and so grateful to the team at PR News for including RENEWPR in this prestigious list among such august company. And I’m grateful to all of the folks I have the pleasure and privilege of working with who are the reason we are successful and who are the power behind the brand that is “restoring common sense to communications.”

We have much more work to do, but I’m going to stop just for a moment to smell the roses and savor this remarkable accomplishment. Thank you to our community for your support and for the inspiration to keep going.  And thank you to PR News for this humbling recognition.
