Marino, a full-service communications firm with offices in New York and Los Angeles, has been named to the exclusive 2024 Agency Elite Top 100 List by PRNEWS.

The Agency Elite Top 100 highlights the nation’s most innovative and strategic PR and communications firms in the business, while demonstrating the wide range of industry specializations and core capabilities encompassed by public relations.

“We are honored to be recognized with the PR News Agency Elite Top 100 Award for the third year in a row,” said John F. Marino, president at Marino. “As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, accolades like this reflect our unwavering commitment to fostering a dynamic work culture that in turn continues to deliver impactful client results that stand the test of time.”

During this milestone year, Marino has increased its video and content creation and formed a full-service Creative Studio, enabling services like broadcast-ready production, aerial photography and video, product photography, cooking and recipe development, and audio and podcast production.

This year, the agency launched a comprehensive public awareness campaign for New York Edge, the largest provider of after-school and summer programs in NYC, which spanned across out-of-home advertising, television, social media and events. Additionally, Marino's award-winning public affairs team scored a trifecta of high-profile land use victories and most recently helped the NYC Hospitality Alliance score yet another victory for restaurant owners when the NYC Council approved permanent outdoor dining.

"The Agency Elite Top 100 is the only editorial roster of its kind, dedicated to the most innovative PR & communications firms in the business." says Danielle Sikes, Associate Publisher at PRNEWS. "Our annual list is an invaluable resource that helps newbies and seasoned vets alike get a sense of who they can trust with their business based on any number of criteria and specialty.”

For Marino, the PRNEWS Agency Elite Top 100 honor adds to a growing list of recent awards and recognitions within the last year, including: The PR NET 100, Crain’s New York Business Notable in Marketing & PR, City & State New York PR and Political Power 50 and Real Estate Power 100, and Globe St. Influencers in Marketing & Communications, in addition to consistently being ranked one of the most powerful PR firms by The Observer.
