We're absolutely thrilled to share some fantastic news. Laura Corrigan, our Senior Vice President of Marketing and PR, has just been named to Inman's 2026 class of Marketing All-Stars. And here's the real kicker—this is her third year in a row earning this honor. That's right, 2024, 2025, and now 2026. It's a streak that speaks volumes, don't you think?

She's been a key architect in shaping our global PR and marketing strategy, and this recognition is a testament to that ongoing work.
### The Impact of a Strategic Vision
So, what does this leadership actually look like on the ground? Well, Laura's vision has fundamentally shaped our brand's identity. It's like she has a compass that always points true north. Under her guidance, we've significantly expanded our reach in global luxury real estate markets. She didn't just grow the audience; she built the team behind it.
She's cultivated in-house groups that are agile, proactive, and completely in sync with our core mission. Think of it as building a crew that not only knows how to sail but can also navigate any storm. Beyond the team, she's been the driving force behind major media partnerships and flagship projects.
Initiatives like The Agency Magazine and The Red Paper didn't just happen. Laura spearheaded them, elevating our marketing presence and ensuring our brand voice resonates clearly—from Beverly Hills to international luxury hubs.
### Leadership That Raises the Bar
It's one thing to have a strategy, and another to execute it with grace. Our President, Rainy Hake Austin, put it perfectly. She said, “Laura’s collaborative spirit, far-reaching knowledge, and level-headed approach to all aspects of marketing and public relations for The Agency sets an example of excellence and consistently raises the bar for the entire team.”
That last part is key—raising the bar. It's not about being the loudest in the room. It's about thoughtful, strategic leadership that lifts everyone up. Rainy continued, “We’re grateful for Laura’s graceful leadership and strategic mindset as The Agency continues to set ourselves apart as an award-winning marketing powerhouse.”
