Austin-Based Agency Founded by Former CBS News Journalist Beats National Competition in the Only PR Awards Judged Exclusively by Working Journalists AUSTIN, TEXAS - Disrupt PR has been named the 2025 Gold Winner for Best Boutique Agency by the Bulldog PR Awards, the PR industry's most prestigious recognition program, and the only one judged exclusively by working journalists. The agency, founded by former CBS News national correspondent Marin Richardson, beat out agencies across the country to claim the top honor in the boutique category. MediaSource took Silver and Capwell Communications took Bronze, putting Disrupt PR above both in a nationally competitive field. "This award means more to us than any other in our industry because the judges are the people we work with every single day: journalists," said Marin Richardson, CEO and Founder of Disrupt PR. "When working reporters tell you that your approach to PR is exceptional, that's the only validation that matters." The Bulldog PR Awards, presented by Bulldog Reporter and Agility PR Solutions, have recognized outstanding achievement in public relations and communications for more than two decades. Judge Tom Hallman, Jr., a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, noted this year: "The level of talent and creativity in the PR/marketing industry is at an all-time high." Disrupt PR's recognition caps a year of significant momentum for the Austin-based agency. The firm has secured a 2.2 billion audience reach for clients, generated 300+ media placements in 24 hours for a single client campaign, and built a growing reputation as the go-to PR agency for disruptive entrepreneurs and executives who want national-caliber media coverage without the overhead of a large agency. This marks Disrupt PR's second consecutive Bulldog PR Award, having previously been named Best New PR Agency. Get started with Disrupt.
