The Baker Agency’s Megan Baker Named National Finalist in PRNEWS Top Women Awards, Marking Nationwide Impact as Firm Approaches 20 Years
ALBANY, N.Y. – Megan Baker, founder and CEO of The Baker Agency, is a national finalist in the PRNEWS Top Women in PR & Communications Awards for Business Entrepreneurs.
The honor highlights the agency’s significant impact as it enters a new phase, having recently rebranded to better serve a growing client base and further expand its reach, underscoring its evolution into a full-service communications firm before its 20-year milestone in 2027.
Presented annually by PRNEWS, the awards recognize women driving impact across brand reputation, strategic storytelling and leadership. Baker joins a select group of professionals nationwide recognized for advancing the communications industry.
“This recognition is incredibly meaningful,” said Baker. “As we approach 20 years in business, it reflects not only our evolution into a national agency, but also the extraordinary dedication of our team and the trust our clients place in us from across the country. We are proud to help organizations nationwide tell their stories and achieve their goals.”
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Albany, The Baker Agency operates with a nimble, highly experienced team supported by a national network of strategic partners and collaborators across its three locations. The firm provides integrated public relations, marketing and creative services to clients across a wide range of industries.
Recent achievements in the Albany market demonstrate the agency’s ability to drive results. In April 2026, The Baker Agency’s media relations and influencer work for Monster Jam at MVP Arena achieved 41 media placements, a potential reach of 14.6 million and $139,000 in advertising value equivalency, highlighting the firm’s measurable impact on client goals.
Through strategic influencer collaborations, the agency broadened local visibility and boosted engagement for the event, reaching more than 128,000 followers and illustrating its ability to amplify audience impact in support of client objectives.
This latest recognition builds on a strong year for both Baker and the agency. In 2025, she was named a Women Who Mean Business honoree by Albany Business Review, and the agency was recognized as a finalist for Best Public Relations Campaign at the Capital Region MarCom Awards.
Beyond client work, Baker is known for her commitment to mentorship and workforce development, providing internship opportunities and supporting the next generation of communications professionals in the Capital Region.
Honorees will be celebrated on June 4, 2026, in New York City.
