This is the seventh consecutive year the Tennessee-based global public relations agency has been ranked and moves up from No. 6

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ripley PR, an award-winning global public relations agency specializing in franchising, skilled trades, manufacturing and B2B technology, has been named one of the nation's best PR agencies for franchises on Entrepreneur Magazine's annual list of the Top Franchise Suppliers for the seventh year in a row.

The PR agency's rise to No. 5 this year from No. 6 in 2023 shows Ripley PR's commitment to providing world-class service and results to growth-focused brands in the franchising industry.

This is the seventh consecutive year Ripley PR has been ranked as one of the top PR agencies for franchises by Entrepreneur Magazine.

Entrepreneur's Top Franchise Suppliers ranking is based on an annual survey of franchisors, from emerging brands to some of the oldest in the industry. This year, a record 1,100-plus franchise brands participated, telling Entrepreneur which suppliers they and their franchisees work with and rating their satisfaction with those suppliers' services in the areas of quality, cost, and value. Each supplier receives a score based on the survey results, and the top-scoring suppliers are ranked within their respective categories.

"The suppliers on our list passed the most important test of all: They were recommended by their clients!" said Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. "We love surveying franchisors and asking their opinions on suppliers, because we know they're eager to praise the suppliers who make a true difference in their business. And that knowledge helps everyone."

Ripley PR, a woman-owned full-service communications agency, was founded by CEO Heather Ripley in 2013, and specializes in franchising with an added focus on the home service, B2B technology, construction, and manufacturing industries.

"We're in great company every year on this list, and it's fulfilling to be recognized for our clients' satisfaction in our work and the results we have provided," Ripley said. "Each team member at Ripley PR strives to be more than another vendor to our clients, and we're honored that our clients see us as a valued partner and extension of their teams. Our continued presence on such a respected list demonstrates the effectiveness of our team's efforts to advance the visibility of our franchise clients so they can attract new franchise owners and grow into new territories."
