Selected from the Program’s Largest and Most Competitive Applicant Pool, HCM’s Honor Caps a Record-Breaking Year of Revenue Growth, Landmark Client Wins, and a GEO Strategy Rewriting the Rules of Modern PR

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hannah Cranston Media (HCM), the award-winning PR and brand storytelling agency behind some of the most talked-about campaigns in consumer, women’s health, technology, and AI media relations, today announced it has secured a place on The PR Net 100, the definitive ranking of the top PR agencies shaping the industry. The recognition arrives during a breakout year for HCM, amid the most competitive applicant pool in the program’s history.

The PR Net 100 is evaluated by the strength of a firm’s client work, the originality of its strategy, and its influence on the future of communications. This year’s honorees were selected by a judging committee of brand, marketing, and communications leaders, including executives from TikTok, Baccarat, Caudalíe, and Heineken.

“We built HCM on the belief that communications done with real ferocity changes outcomes, not just for our clients’ visibility, but for their growth and place in the industries they’re working to transform,” said Hannah Cranston, Founder and CEO of HCM. “This recognition reflects the caliber of work our team delivers every day, and the trust our clients place in us to deliver it.”

HCM’s selection reflects its approach to modern communications. The agency has expanded beyond traditional earned media, building out affiliate and creator capabilities alongside its proprietary Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) methodology, keeping clients visible in the press and in the large language models increasingly shaping how consumers find and evaluate brands. The honor builds on a series of industry recognitions for HCM, including The PR Net Next Gen, Inc. Power Partners, Inc. Female Founders 500, PR News Agency Elite Top 120, PR Daily Top Agencies, and most recently, Inc. Best Workplaces.

“This recognition is a reflection of the discipline behind the creativity,” said Eliott Kessas, COO of HCM. “I’ve sat on the other side of this business, building and scaling a brand that depended on the kind of media strategy HCM delivers, and I know the difference between an agency that generates headlines and one that drives outcomes. Being named to The PR Net 100 confirms the rigor we’ve built into this agency is exactly what our clients deserve.”
