2024 has been an incredible year for Franco – and we’re only halfway through the year as I’m writing this post. If you missed our previous announcements, get caught up here:
Celebrating 60 Years in Business
We entered 2024 in a great place from an agency growth and revenue perspective. So, I was thrilled to see our rankings improved from 2023 when O’Dwyer’s published its annual list of top PR firms. Franco is ranked #88 on the overall list (we were ranked #95 in 2023) and #12 on the Midwest list (we were ranked #16 in 2023).
Additionally, Franco is ranked as the #1 or #2 Michigan firm in 9 categories, including:
- Automotive/Transportation
- Education
- Energy
- Food & Beverage
- Healthcare
- Industrial
- Non-profits
- Professional Services
- Real Estate Finance & Development
Anyone who knows me knows I love a good-natured competition. So yes, I’m beaming with pride that our team has yet another accolade to celebrate in our 60th year in business.
However, I’m mostly humbled and grateful that I have the opportunity to lead a team of stellar integrated communicators who deeply care about each other, our clients and our community. Without the passion, creativity, intelligence and consideration they exhibit, we wouldn’t get to celebrate company milestones like improving rankings on the annual O’Dwyer’s PR firms list.
My sincerest thanks to the Franco team, our clients and our community partners. Running a company certainly has its rollercoaster moments, but you all make it worth it!
So, what’s next? Subscribe to our blog and newsletter to stay updated on all things Franco. We’ll continue adding content to our 60th anniversary page, including core value features and alumni spotlights.
We also have some exciting agency initiatives in the works for the remainder of this year and into the first part of 2025. More on that in the coming months. 😊
