Fishman Public Relations, the premier Chicago-based franchise PR agency, has clinched the top spot in Entrepreneur magazine’s Top Franchise Supplier ranking in the Public Relations category for the eighth consecutive year. Featured in the September/October 2025 issue and on Entrepreneur.com, the ranking highlights top service providers across 13 categories, based on feedback from over 1,100 franchise brands evaluating quality, cost, and value.
For 34 years, Fishman PR has set the industry standard by crafting bold, integrated campaigns that combine media outreach, content marketing, SEO, digital strategies, and crisis management. These efforts amplify brand awareness, attract franchisees, and drive customer traffic, positioning the agency as a trusted partner for hundreds of franchisors.
“Being recognized as the top franchise PR agency for eight years in a row is both humbling and exhilarating,” said Sherri Fishman, founder and Chief Visionary Officer. “This honor is a testament to our incredible team – from our junior staff to our senior leaders – who bring their creativity, expertise, and dedication to our clients every single day.”
Fishman PR adapts to industry shifts, leveraging AI to enhance digital campaigns and local search strategies while maintaining its storytelling core. This evolution ensures relevance amid changing consumer behaviors and technological advancements, such as AI-driven content personalization and influencer marketing.
“Eight consecutive wins is extraordinary, but what matters most to us is the trust our clients place in us to be an extension of their teams,” added Debra Vilchis, President of Fishman PR. “That trust is earned by our people, and we pour significant resources into their ongoing development.”
Zack Fishman, Chief Growth Officer, emphasized the agency’s forward-looking approach: “Our continued recognition by Entrepreneur reflects not only our rich history but also our commitment to the future. We’re evolving constantly to provide fresh, relevant services that meet the changing needs of franchisors – from digital-first campaigns to influencer strategies – while honoring the foundation my parents, Sherri and Brad Fishman, established 34 years ago.”
The ranking, driven by direct franchisor feedback, underscores Fishman PR’s role as a critical partner in franchise success, as noted by Entrepreneur’s editor-in-chief, Jason Feifer: “Behind every great franchise system is a network of exceptional suppliers who make success possible.”
