This marks the ninth consecutive year Fishman PR has achieved No. 1 franchise PR firm spot in Entrepreneur's Top Franchise Suppliers ranking, which is based on an annual survey of franchisors, from emerging brands to some of the oldest in the industry. This year, more than 1,000 franchise brands participated, reporting to Entrepreneur which suppliers they and their franchisees work with and rating their satisfaction with those suppliers' services in the areas of quality, cost, and value. Each supplier received a score based on the survey results, and the top-scoring suppliers are ranked within their respective categories.
"Being recognized as the top franchise PR agency for nine years running is something we never take for granted," said Sherri Fishman, founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Fishman PR. "Over the years, we've been fortunate to work with brands that lean in, believe in our people and process, and know the power of a well-told story." Fishman PR CEO Brad Fishman says the firm's formula is simple: "Everything goes back to two things - doing great work and building meaningful relationships."
Since its founding in 1991, Fishman PR has been at the forefront of helping franchisors share their stories, sell franchises, and attract customers. Today, the agency continues to set high standards for the industry, delivering bold, integrated campaigns that combine:
- Franchise opportunity PR and consumer brand awareness through strategic media outreach and storytelling at the national and local levels
- Customized Grand Opening PR packages for franchisees
- Content marketing, SEO, and GEO that fuels franchise development lead generation and keeps brands visible in AI-driven searches (AI Visibility Management)
- Digital marketing, paid media, and influencer strategies to reach relevant audiences
- Crisis communications and PR campaigns that protect and strengthen brands' reputations at every stage
"The strength of a franchise system often comes down to the partners standing behind it," says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur magazine's editor in chief. "That's why we survey more than 1,000 franchisors to find out which suppliers they trust most. This is a critical business decision, and every franchise should get it right."
In addition to the Entrepreneur ranking honor, Fishman PR this year also successfully passed the rigorous peer review process by the Worldcom Public Relations Group, the world's leading partnership of independently owned public relations firms, with 110 offices employing some 2,000 across 45 countries and six continents. The peer review evaluation recognized Fishman PR's excellence in service delivery, client satisfaction, business and agency management operations, with strong marks across the three categories assessed on strategic approach, client satisfaction, and Worldcom partner performance.
"As a PR firm, we work hard every day to help our clients achieve third-party validation for their brands and franchise opportunities. That's why receiving high scores from franchisors in the Entrepreneur ranking, as well as from our PR industry peers in Worldcom, is especially meaningful," said Debra Vilchis, President & COO of Fishman PR.
That sentiment was echoed by the agency's Chief Growth Officer, Zack Fishman. "Being regularly evaluated by clients and peers holds us accountable, and pushes the entire PR profession forward," he said.
