NEW YORK — BCW, FleishmanHillard, Golin, Real Chemistry and Weber Shandwick are the five finalists for PRovoke Media's 2024 Large Agency of the Year in North America, alongside 65 more firms that have been shortlisted today across a further 13 categories.

The North American Agency of the Year Awards recognize the best firms in specific size categories and in specific disciplines. In all, 69 firms — from giant multinationals to small local specialists — are nominated across the 14 Agency of the Year categories, reflecting what was probably the most competitive year in its history.

Despite difficult economic conditions in 2023, public relations firms demonstrated impressive resilience, delivering a broader range of capabilities, deeper strategic counsel and stronger social impact. 

Profiles of all the nominated firms, featuring in-depth analysis of each agency's performance, can be found here.

The 2024 North America PR Agencies of the Year are the result of an exhaustive research process involving more than 150 submissions and 50 virtual meetings with the best PR firms across the US and Canada.

Winners are unveiled at the North American SABRE Awards ceremony, which will take place at Cipriani 42nd St on the evening of 1 May. Tickets and tables are available here.
