Buchanan Public Relations Takes Home Two Best Practices Awards from the 2026 PRGN Fall Member Conference

PHILADELPHIA (October 29, 2026)– Buchanan Public Relations LLC, a full-service public relations, digital and crisis communications agency, announced today that it has been honored with two awards at the 2026 Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) Best Practices Awards. The ceremony took place during last week’s PRGN Fall Member Meeting and Conference in New York City, NY. 

The awards recognize exceptional and innovative campaigns and tactics by some of the industry’s leading public relations firms. First, second and third place award recipients are voted on by members of PRGN, a connected network of independently owned public relations firms servicing key markets around the world.  

Buchanan PR was awarded first place in the Agency Collaboration category and second place in the Corporate Communications category. In both categories, the firm was recognized for its work on behalf of client Bimbo USA— the largest commercial baking company in the United States, producing and distributing iconic bread and baked goods brands like Sara Lee, Entenmann’s, Thomas’, and Ball Park across the nation. 

In the Agency Collaboration category, Buchanan PR took home first place for its work with Bimbo USA as the company relocated its headquarters from Philadelphia to Dallas-Fort Worth. To maximize impact within the local market, Buchanan PR partnered with PRGN Dallas affiliate Three Box Strategic Communications. Three Box is a nationally recognized firm, known for creating tailored programs that engage audiences, solve problems, and drive measurable results for clients across industry sectors.  

Together, the agencies combined their expertise to secure media coverage that generated awareness among area business leaders and established a strong presence in Bimbo USA’s new headquarters market. The campaign was a success, resulting in positive media coverage that included 2 Dallas Business Journal exclusives and 33 pieces of earned coverage, totaling over 210 million UVM.  

In the Corporate Communications category, Buchanan PR won second place, also for its work with Bimbo USA and announcing its headquarters relocation. Buchanan PR created a comprehensive communications framework, drafting the messaging and materials that would support the relocation announcement. Once company leadership was ready to announce the relocation, Buchanan PR implemented a two-phase strategy, tailoring communications to individually and effectively address both the Dallas and Philadelphia markets. The campaign was successful, meeting Bimbo USA’s goal of generating awareness in Dallas while maintaining balanced coverage in Philadelphia.  

“It is such an honor to be recognized by our peers for our work with Bimbo USA,” said Principal and Co-Owner John Reynolds. “I am proud of the hard work from team, and grateful for the opportunities presented by the network to partner with smart and talented agencies like Three Box Strategic Communications. PRGN enables our ability to provide truly global support and maximize the ways in which we can effectively service our clients.”  

This year, a record number of agencies submitted award entries to the competition, with 37 member agencies submitting a total of 164 entries. This is the second-highest number of entries in the 15-year history of the PRGN Awards and the highest number of agencies ever participating in the annual contest. Another record took place within the judging process when 38 participating agencies reviewed entries across 22 categories, awarding the top agencies in each category gold, silver, and bronze trophies.
