MikeWorldWide Named a “Top U.S. Agency of the Year” and a “Best Midsize Agency to Work For” by PRovoke Media at 2025 North America SABRE Awards 

NEW YORK, NY, May 8, 2025 –  MikeWorldWide (MWW), the nation’s leading independent public relations firm, was named “Top U.S. Agency of the Year” and one of the “Best Midsize Agencies to Work For” by PRovoke Media at the 2025 North American SABRE Awards in New York City. These are among the communications industry’s most prestigious honors, celebrating agencies that lead in reputation, brand engagement, and workplace culture.  

Key achievements over the past year that fueled these accolades included a seven-figure creative and media buying assignment for a major energy company, as well as wins from Mattress Firm; New Jersey health system AtlantiCare; and NFL Style. The firm also launched Everywhere, which focuses on brands with medium sized digital budgets that may be overlooked by industry behemoths, offering social strategy, creator partnerships, agile content creation, and performance marketing. And against all of this, the firm’s corporate practice continues to thrive under the leadership of Carreen Winters, marking 10 years of double-digit growth to become MWW’s largest practice, with a strong offer in labor relations; financial work including the largest IPO of last year, Lineage; and corporate reputation work for the WNBA. 

The corporate practice has also been on the forefront of innovation, with its Linkfluence tool, using reputation and B2B influencers and “outside in” employee engagement. AI adoption remains a top priority, supported by a proprietary tech stack designed to manage the entire lifecycle of crisis and issues management, offering end-to-end support from early signal detection to real-time message testing and predictive analytics on story trajectory. On the consumer side, the firm’s PRISMA engine is about “enhancing brand love through AI,” using advanced analytics to identify the emotional drivers that transform casual customers into passionate advocates. 

“These awards reflect the power of independent thinking, a people-first culture, and purpose-driven work,” said Michael Kempner, Founder and CEO of MikeWorldWide. “At MWW, we believe reputation is the engine behind trust, relevance, and performance – for our clients and our team.”  

MWW was also a finalist in the 2025 SABRE Awards in the Entertainment category with longtime client Churchill Downs for the 150th Kentucky Derby campaign, and in Issues Management for its strategic work with Red Lobster during its Chapter 11 filing. These recognitions reinforce MWW’s approach which are rooted in empathy, innovation, and executional excellence – and reflect the collective strength of a team that consistently delivers strategies that matter and drive measurable growth.
