Among 250 entries at the German Stevie Awards 2026, Schwartz Public Relations (Schwartz PR) won Gold in the “PR Agency of the Year” category for the second year in a row since the category was introduced. The international judging panel recognized the agency for delivering sustained growth in a challenging market, maintaining a clear strategic focus, and closely linking business performance with a strong, stable company culture—in short, “Growth with Purpose.”
One jury member summed it up this way: “An excellent submission with clear results, strong leadership and a compelling growth story. Congratulations to the whole team on this achievement!”
Continuity and Strategic Evolution
Schwartz PR reported fee income of €6.5 million for fiscal 2025 and has grown by a total of 46 percent over the past five years, consistently outpacing the industry average. The jury specifically highlighted this positive trajectory. Between May 2025 and May 2026 alone, Schwartz PR won 15 new client accounts in some of today’s most pressing technology fields, including critical digital infrastructure. Other growth drivers include the agency’s strong B2B technology and digital transformation business, the expansion of specialist practices in greentech and aerospace and defense, and its expertise in AI and generative engine optimization (GEO).
“After making it into the top 4 among Germany’s PR agencies in PR-Journal’s ranking, our second ‘Agency of the Year’ title from the German Stevie Awards is further confirmation that we’re on the right track,” said agency founder Christoph Schwartz.
