Tilson PR, a marketing and public relations agency, has been recognized with two significant awards from leading franchise industry publications, underscoring the value of specialized communications services in this competitive sector. The firm was named to Entrepreneur magazine's 2025 Top Franchise Suppliers list and received the Highly Commended designation in the Best Marketing & PR Supplier category at the Global Franchise Awards 2026.
The recognition from Entrepreneur is particularly notable as it represents the most comprehensive supplier ranking in the franchise industry, based on feedback from over 1,000 franchisors who evaluated suppliers on quality, cost, and value. This award positions Tilson PR among the most trusted service providers supporting both franchisors and franchisees across the United States.
Simultaneously, the Global Franchise Awards recognition, announced at the International Franchise Association's 2026 convention in Las Vegas, honors exceptional performance and meaningful contributions to the franchise industry. The award from Global Franchise Magazine specifically acknowledged Tilson PR's work in the Best Marketing & PR Supplier category for single market operations.
Tracy Tilson, president and founder of Tilson PR, stated that these honors validate the agency's approach to serving franchise clients. "We take this as an indication that we are providing the services and support that have the greatest value for our many clients in the franchise industry," Tilson said. "The real proof is when we see our ideas pay off in our clients' success, when we help them reach their goals by using our expertise and vast network of media resources."
For businesses operating in the franchise sector, these awards signal which service providers have demonstrated measurable value to industry peers. The franchise industry represents a substantial portion of the U.S. economy, with thousands of brands relying on effective marketing and public relations to maintain consistency across locations while adapting to local market conditions.
Tilson PR's services include media relations, social media marketing, content creation, copywriting, crisis management, grand openings, thought leadership, and special event promotions. The agency operates with team members in South Florida, Boston, New York, and New Hampshire, serving national and regional brands seeking to enhance brand recognition and connect with target audiences.
The dual recognition from these industry authorities matters because it provides franchise businesses with reliable indicators of which marketing partners can deliver results. In an industry where brand consistency and local market adaptation must coexist, specialized public relations expertise becomes increasingly valuable. These awards help franchise operators identify service providers who understand the unique challenges of multi-location business models and can effectively communicate brand stories across diverse markets.
