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? It's not just about winning an award, of course. This milestone really highlights something deeper. It shows Laura's consistent drive for excellence and her knack for innovation. 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.” ### What Makes an Inman Marketing All-Star? You might be wondering what this award really means. Inman's Marketing All-Stars program isn't just a popularity contest. It specifically highlights professionals who master a powerful trio: bold strategy, genuine creativity, and execution that gets real results. These are the people who don't just talk about ideas; they make them happen in ways that elevate their brands and forge deeper connections within the industry. Emily Paquette, CEO of Inman, noted that the program “recognizes the professionals who shape how real estate companies communicate, build trust, and connect with consumers and agents.” In today's complex market, that role is more critical than ever. Their work reflects the evolving, essential nature of marketing and communications. ### A Culture of Excellence At the end of the day, this recognition for Laura is a win for our entire culture. It celebrates the kind of sustained effort and innovative thinking we value. It's about showing up, year after year, and delivering not just campaigns, but meaningful impact. So let's raise a virtual coffee cup. A huge congratulations to Laura on this incredibly well-deserved honor! We are so fortunate to have her expertise, her calm guidance, and her visionary approach on our team. Here's to many more years of setting the standard.
