Fishman Public Relations: Nine-Time Champion of Franchise PR

Fishman Public Relations, based in Chicago, has proudly celebrated its 35th anniversary while once again securing the top spot in the Public Relations category of Entrepreneur magazine's annual Top Franchise Suppliers ranking. This prestigious recognition marks the ninth consecutive year that Fishman PR has been honored as the number one franchise PR firm in this highly competitive industry.

The Entrepreneur ranking showcases the best service providers to the franchise sector across a total of 13 categories and is determined through an annual survey involving over 1,000 franchise brands, which range from emergent names to established players. These brands rate their satisfaction regarding suppliers based on quality, cost, and value, providing a clear insight into the most trusted PR agencies.

According to Sherri Fishman, the founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Fishman PR, the continuous recognition is not taken for granted. She emphasized the importance of collaboration, stating, "We’ve been fortunate to work with brands that lean in, believe in our people and process, and know the power of a well-told story."

Brad Fishman, the CEO, elaborated on the firm's formula for success, noting that it centers around two key principles: delivering high-quality work and fostering meaningful relationships. Since its inception in 1991, Fishman PR has been dedicated to amplifying the stories of franchisors, assisting them not only in selling franchises but also in attracting customers effectively.

Jason Feifer, the Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur magazine, remarked on the vital nature of the rankings. "The strength of a franchise system often comes down to the partners standing behind it," he said. The survey, which includes feedback from over 1,000 franchisors, highlights the importance of selecting the right suppliers for franchise systems.

In addition to its ranking by Entrepreneur, Fishman PR demonstrated excellence in the recent peer review process conducted by the Worldcom Public Relations Group, an esteemed partnership featuring independent PR firms globally. The evaluation recognized Fishman PR's service excellence, client satisfaction, and solid operational management.

Debra Vilchis, President and COO of Fishman PR, expressed the significance of achieving high scores from both franchisors and peers, viewing it as a validation of the agency’s efforts to enhance clients' brands and franchise opportunities.
