Firm Earns Fifth Consecutive Crain’s Best Places to Work Recognition, Seventh Consecutive PRNEWS Agency Elite Honor and Fourth Consecutive PR Daily Top Agency Award Reflecting the Strength of the Firm’s Workplace Culture and Client Impact

NEW YORK (September 24, 2026) — RF|Binder, a leading independent and integrated communications and consulting firm, has earned four prestigious industry honors for 2026 from Crain’s New York Business, PRNEWS and PR Daily, recognizing the firm for its workplace culture, agency excellence and client impact.

The recognitions reflect two dimensions of RF|Binder’s continued success: a people-first culture that attracts and develops exceptional talent, and a business focused approach to communications that works with clients to address critical business issues, navigate complexity, strengthen reputation and drive growth.

• RF|Binder was named to Crain’s 2026 Best Places to Work in New York City for the fifth consecutive year. The annual list recognizes employers across New York that excel at creating cultures where people can thrive.
• The firm was also named to the PRNEWS 2027 Agency Elite Top 120 for the seventh consecutive year. The annual list recognizes PR and communications agencies for standout services, culture, client impact and innovation.
• Adding to its 2026 honors, RF|Binder was named a PR Daily 2026 Top Agency for the fourth consecutive year and the 2026 Top Agency Workplace, recognizing both the firm’s work on behalf of clients and its commitment to building an exceptional workplace. RF|Binder is also a finalist for PR Daily’s 2026 Agency Impact Award, which it won in 2025.

“Being recognized year after year by Crain’s, PRNEWS and PR Daily is especially meaningful because these honors speak to two things that have always been closely connected at RF|Binder: the strength of our people and the quality of the work we deliver for our clients,” said Amy Binder, Founder and CEO of RF|Binder. “As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, I am incredibly proud of the firm we have built and how we continue to evolve. From day one, we have believed that communications should be grounded in an understanding of the business and the issues that matter most to an organization’s success. Our team brings curiosity, creativity and strategic thinking to increasingly complex business and communications challenges, and these recognitions reflect our commitment to creating a culture where talented people can do their best work.”

The honors come during a milestone year for RF|Binder as the firm celebrates its 25th anniversary. Since its founding in 2001, RF|Binder has continued to expand its capabilities to meet the changing needs of clients while remaining grounded in the belief that communications should be directly connected to business strategy and outcomes.

This philosophy is reflected in RF|Binder’s proprietary Clarity Lens Framework™, which aligns communications strategy to business objectives. At the core of the framework is the Clarity Lens Audit™, a comprehensive assessment incorporating materials review, stakeholder interviews and an evaluation of the competitive and industry landscape, leading to clear strategic priorities and actionable recommendations that strengthen reputation and drive business growth.

Together, these 2026 recognitions underscore RF|Binder’s continued momentum and its commitment to investing in both its people and its capabilities. As the communications landscape continues to evolve, the firm remains focused on helping clients make sense of complexity, communicate with clarity and translate communications into measurable business impact.
