Ranked: The World’s Best Public Relations Agencies (Top PR Firms) For 2025
As public relations professionals guide their clients through a year filled with uncertainty and noise, many top agencies are expanding their services beyond traditional pitches. To better meet their clients’ needs, public relations agencies are changing. Some are like consulting and advertising firms, while others are adding new services, like research based on data insights and surveys. This integration enhances both external and internal communications for their clients.
To showcase the best in the industry, CEOWORLD magazine partnered with the news research firm the United Global Guardian Press (UGGP) to rank the world’s Best Public Relations Agencies for 2025 (Top PR Firms). To compile this list, CEOWORLD magazine surveyed over 122,800 experts and gathered input from 260,500 customers who nominated more than 2,000 firms. Participants rated their likelihood of recommending an agency on a scale from zero (very unlikely) to 10 (very likely). CEOWORLD magazine then refined the list to highlight the top agencies, awarding a four-star rating to those that met the median score and a five-star rating to those that performed exceptionally well.
What are Public Relations Agencies (PR Firms)?
Public Relations Agencies, or PR firms, are service providers that create and implement public relations strategies for brands and organizations. These agencies specialize in managing reputations and engaging stakeholders through various channels, including earned, owned, shared, and sometimes paid media. PR firms often offer a diverse range of complementary services, such as marketing, influencer relations, and content creation. Some agencies specifically position themselves as ideal partners for addressing and navigating societal issues.
