Agency also wins a 2026 PRNEWS Platinum Award for NJM and earns an honorable mention for Inspira Health.

Red Thread PR (RTPR), an independent public relations agency built to solve complex business and communications challenges, has been named to PRNEWS’ 2027 Agency Elite Top 120. The annual roster recognizes 120 PR and communications firms selected by the PRNEWS editorial team from a field of hundreds. Honorees represent the most forward-looking U.S. agencies that are continuing to evolve their capabilities while delivering meaningful results for clients.

Earned media remains central to RTPR, but the independent specialty shop now solves broader business and communications challenges through brand partnerships and sponsorships, activations, affiliate marketing and AI visibility optimization.

“We earned our place on this list by refusing to stand still,” said Laura Emanuel, managing director, Red Thread PR. “While the industry talks about what’s next, we’re already building it – expanding what earned-first thinking can do and solving bigger, more complex business challenges for our clients. Our team outthinks, outworks and delivers and this recognition proves it.”

RTPR also took top honors in the Experiential Event category at the 2026 PRNEWS Platinum Awards for “All Bark. All Bite: Dawg House by NJM,” developed with sister agency Born and Raised. Its work for Inspira Health, “From Local Provider to Regional Health Leader: How Inspira Health Built Trust, Visibility and Competitive Credibility in South Jersey,” earned an honorable mention in Integrated Communications, Marketing & PR.

Together, the programs demonstrate RTPR’s ability to deliver category-leading results by outthinking, not outspending – while continually expanding its expertise to meet what’s next.

The Platinum Awards winners were announced Oct. 6 in New York City.
