NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- TogoRun, a woman-owned global health and well-being communications, marketing, and public affairs agency, has been named to the Inc. 2023 Best in Business list in the Public Relations category. This recognition follows TogoRun's 2022 Inc. Award win for Best in Business in Marketing. Inc.'s Best in Business Awards honor private companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society.

"TogoRun is thrilled to be recognized by the editors of Inc. as a 2023 Best in Business winner for our purpose-driven public relations practices, especially since it follows our recognition in 2022 in the Marketing category," said Glo Janata, JD, TogoRun President, CEO, and owner. "We believe public relations is one of the most effective disciplines to make a healthy impact on the world. Aligning public relations goals to marketing efforts is the perfect combination to not only achieve success, but also to achieve significant efficiencies and drive value. We are proud to be working with our clients who relentlessly pursue the triple bottom line and to be supporting our pro bono partners who change lives for the better every day. Cheers to our remarkable clients, pro bono partners, TogoRun team, and all honorees!"

TogoRun has driven significant growth since spinning off from Omnicom in late 2020, with a year-over-year average growth of 109 percent. To celebrate this growth and the decision to remain a fully virtual global agency without brick and mortar overhead, TogoRun commits a total of $1 million in annual pro bono work with leading nonprofits, including Pure Earth, Mission Plasticos, and Orbis International. TogoRun also provided more than $250k in 2023 to support our partnership with Jaguar Health to develop the first Canine Cancer Registry.

TogoRun Partner and Chief Marketing and Operating Officer Sheetal Davitt said, "TogoRun uniquely combines expertise in public relations, marketing, and public affairs to build value for our clients while providing a streamlined, highly engaging "bigtique" experience. We are so proud of our team for their commitment to excellence and for making this highly prestigious award possible."

About the Inc. 2023 Best in Business Awards

The Inc. Best in Business Awards 2023 list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 12), recognizes the most dynamic companies of all sizes and industries that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

Eric Hagerman, Special Projects Editor at Inc., says, "Being named to the Best in Business list is a rare and special honor. These honorees demonstrate the foresight, caring, and dedication to prioritize positive impact—impact on their community, on their industry and the environment, and even on society as a whole."

Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.'s editors reviewed the companies' achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in 70 different categories – from advertising to sustainability to retail, and more – and in age-based, revenue-based, size-based, and impact-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive – a huge success for the 215 honored in the list's fourth year. Honorees for general excellence across various industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
