Inc. Names WhitPR as a 2024 Power Partner Award Winner

The annual list recognizes the country's leading B2B companies that have proven track records of supporting entrepreneurs and helping companies grow

RAHWAY, N.J., Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced its third annual Power Partner Awards. The prestigious list honors B2B organizations across the country that have proven track records supporting entrepreneurs and helping startups grow. This year's list recognizes WhitPR among 359 companies in marketing and advertising, health and wellness, financial services, legal, logistics, public relations, and productivity, as well as other critical areas of business.

Every company on the Inc. Power Partner award list received top marks from clients for being instrumental in helping leadership navigate the dynamic world of startups. These B2B partners support entrepreneurs across various facets of the business, including hiring, compliance, infrastructure development, cloud migration, fundraising, etc., allowing founders to focus on their core missions. "This is our definitive listing of vendors and suppliers who have demonstrated excellence in serving small- and midsize customers," says Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman. "As part of the vetting process, our team of editors, researchers and reporters gathered information on companies' products and services, assessed their reputation as captured in online comments and forums, and collected customer testimonials to ensure that the sales pitch matches the actual client experience. In every case, we spoke to founders like you who were happy to attest to a vendor's genuine commitment to a mutually beneficial business partnership. We're happy to be the conduit for that positive word of mouth."

"Since 2010, our mission has been to bring multicultural perspectives to the spotlight, especially those often overlooked. Being honored as a Power Partner is a reflection of the trust our clients place in us to tell their stories with creativity, authenticity, and a relentless commitment to their success," said Dreena Whitfield-Brown, CEO and Founder of WhitPR. "As a Black-owned agency, we are proud to champion stories that celebrate culture, empower marginalized communities, and drive impact. Our team thrives on building genuine partnerships, and this recognition affirms the power of collaboration, storytelling, and purpose in shaping the future of business."
