Powerhouse+Co. Named One of the Nation’s Top Franchise PR Firms

What happened

Powerhouse+Co., a public relations, social media, and influencer marketing agency that specializes in franchise communications, was named to Entrepreneur magazine's Top Franchise Suppliers list in the public relations category. This marks the seventh time the agency has appeared on the list.

Why the ranking matters

Where Powerhouse+Co. focuses its work

Since its founding in 2016, Powerhouse+Co. has positioned itself as a specialist in the franchise sector. The agency presents services that aim to do two main things: increase consumer awareness of franchise brands and support franchise development by translating business performance and franchisee success into clear stories for prospective operators. Client examples named in the announcement include Mountain Mike's Pizza, Del Taco, Denny's, Juice It Up!, and Nick the Greek.

Context and timing

The recognition arrives as Powerhouse+Co. celebrates its 10th year in business. The agency framed the accolade as particularly meaningful because the Entrepreneur ranking is based on the feedback of the franchisors the firm serves. Founder and CEO Kristin Daher said the result reflects the franchise-specific knowledge the team has built over a decade and the agency's approach of working closely with clients as an extension of their teams.

What the Entrepreneur survey measures

The survey asks franchisors to report which suppliers they and their franchisees work with, then rate those suppliers on three dimensions: quality, cost, and value. More than 1,000 franchisors participated this year, spanning emerging brands and longstanding systems. Entrepreneur publishes the results in its September/October issue and on Entrepreneur.com.

Practical takeaway for franchisors and franchisors-in-waiting

If you're evaluating PR partners for franchise communications, repeated inclusion on Entrepreneur's supplier list signals consistent franchisor satisfaction in areas the survey measures. Powerhouse+Co. emphasizes alignment between franchisor objectives and franchisee interests and offers services aimed at both consumer marketing and franchise development storytelling.
