Fishman Public Relations Ranked No. 1 Franchise PR Agency in Entrepreneur for 8th Consecutive Year

This remarkable eight-year streak cements Fishman PR's reputation as the undisputed leader in franchise PR and marketing, a role the agency has proudly upheld for more than three decades. 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 top franchise public relations firm continues to set the standard for the industry, delivering bold, integrated campaigns that combine:

• Franchise PR and consumer brand awareness through strategic media outreach and storytelling
• Content marketing and SEO that fuel franchise development lead generation
• Digital marketing, paid media, and influencer strategies to reach modern audiences
• Crisis communications and local PR campaigns that protect and strengthen brands at every stage

"Being recognized as the top franchise PR agency for eight years in a row is both humbling and exhilarating," said Sherri Fishman, founder and Chief Visionary Officer. "This honor is a testament to our incredible team – from our junior staff to our senior leaders – who bring their creativity, expertise, and dedication to our clients every single day. And we are equally grateful to the franchisors who continue to place their trust in us. Great PR and content marketing results are always the product of true partnership, and we are fortunate to collaborate with clients who engage with us, support the process, and believe in the power of storytelling."

About the Ranking
Each year, Entrepreneur releases its list of Top Franchise Suppliers, recognizing the most trusted and effective service providers across the franchising sector. The ranking is based on feedback from hundreds of franchisors, who are asked to rate their satisfaction with the suppliers they rely on to grow their systems. This year, more than 1,100 franchise brands participated, telling 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.

Categories span a wide range of services – from legal and marketing to technology and real estate. Fishman PR has consistently secured the top position in the franchise PR category, reinforcing its standing as the agency franchisors turn to most when seeking to expand their brand awareness, attract new franchise owners, and drive customer traffic.

"Behind every great franchise system is a network of exceptional suppliers who make success possible," says Entrepreneur's editor-in-chief, Jason Feifer. "This list, based on direct feedback from franchisors themselves, identifies the partners who consistently deliver the expertise and support that separate thriving franchise systems from struggling ones."

An extension of a franchisor's team 
"Eight consecutive wins is extraordinary, but what matters most to us is the trust our clients place in us to be an extension of their teams," added Debra Vilchis, President of Fishman PR. "That trust is earned by our people, and we pour significant resources into their ongoing development – from guest speakers and workshops to our own internal certification program that designates them as Certified Service Strategists. This ensures our team members are not only skilled in PR and content marketing, but also deeply understand franchising and business so they can act as true consultants to our clients. We are honored to walk alongside franchisors at every stage of their journey, helping them attract new franchisees and build customer loyalty through authentic, impactful storytelling. Our success is only possible because of the strong relationships we've built over the years."

Carrying forward the agency's legacy into its next era, Zack Fishman, Chief Growth Officer, shared: "Our continued recognition by Entrepreneur reflects not only our rich history but also our commitment to the future. We're evolving constantly to provide fresh, relevant services that meet the changing needs of franchisors – from digital-first campaigns to influencer strategies – while honoring the foundation my parents, Sherri and Brad Fishman, established 34 years ago. Just as importantly, we're always looking around the corner to stay ahead of industry trends – whether it's harnessing new technology or guiding brands through the evolving impact of AI and local search on consumer behavior. Our growth is not only about innovation, but about staying true to our roots."
