CHICAGO, IL (MAY 12, 2026): Zapwater Communications is proud to announce that it has been named in PRovoke Media’s 2026 list of The Best Agencies in North America, an annual, merit-based recognition honoring the most outstanding public relations firms across the region. As part of this distinction, Zapwater Communications was also included among the 100 Best Agencies in the United States.
Regarded as one of the most authoritative benchmarks in the industry, PRovoke Media's Best Agencies lists are compiled through a rigorous evaluation process that includes in-depth interviews with agency leadership and analysis informed by decades of covering the global public relations business.

The recognition marks another milestone for Zapwater Communications, which was also recently named to PRovoke Media's Best Agencies in the World list, further underscoring the agency's continued momentum and growing global reputation.
The Best Agencies lists are an evolution of PRovoke Media’s long-standing Agency of the Year program and highlights firms that are setting the standard for excellence across sectors including consumer marketing, corporate communications, digital and social media, and more.
