Trenton, N.J., June 11, 2026 – PSC (Princeton Strategic Communications) has been ranked No. 106 nationally in O’Dwyer’s 2026 ranking of independent public relations firms, marking the firm’s highest placement to date and its third consecutive year of upward movement in the annual survey.
The ranking reflects reported 2025 agency fees. Since first appearing at No. 122 in the 2023 rankings, the firm has steadily advanced to No. 119 in 2024, No. 112 in 2025, and No. 106 in 2026. PSC was also ranked among the top five New Jersey-based firms included in this year’s survey.
The firm’s growth has been accompanied by a significant increase in revenue. Reported agency fees grew from $1.93 million in the 2023 rankings to $2.65 million in the 2026 rankings, representing approximately 37 percent growth over the three-year period.
Published annually by O’Dwyer’s, a communications industry publication founded in 1968, the rankings are based on agency fee data submitted with supporting financial documentation and are widely referenced throughout the public relations sector.
“We’ve grown because clients continue to trust us with important work year after year, and because we’ve built a team that consistently delivers for them,” said Ethan Andersen, Managing Partner of PSC. “Agency rankings ultimately reflect relationships, and we’re grateful for the long-term partnerships that have made this growth possible.”
Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Trenton, PSC provides strategic communications, media relations, crisis communications, digital strategy, paid media, and brand positioning services to corporations, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and public sector clients.
The ranking follows a period of continued expansion for the firm. Earlier this year, PSC announced its acquisition of Nonprofit Partners, an award-winning communications agency recognized for its work with nonprofit organizations, healthcare systems, and community coalitions. The acquisition expanded PSC’s work in the nonprofit, healthcare, and higher education sectors while adding specialized expertise in mission-driven communications.
PSC operates in close partnership with Princeton Public Affairs Group (PPAG), New Jersey’s largest public affairs firm, and Winning Strategies Washington (WSW), a bipartisan federal relations firm based in Washington, D.C. Together, the affiliated organizations give clients access to communications, public affairs, and government relations expertise at both the state and federal levels.
“We’re fortunate to work with clients who have trusted us for years and a team that is deeply committed to helping them succeed,” continued Andersen. “This recognition belongs as much to our people and our clients as it does to the firm itself.”
