The Agency's PR team is a finalist for Ragan's 2026 Zenith Awards, thanks to 2,000 press placements and $2 billion in ad value. Meet the team behind the headlines.
The Agency’s public relations team just earned a spot as one of six finalists in the Team of the Year category at Ragan’s 2026 Zenith Awards. That’s a big deal—not just because it’s a prestigious nod from the folks who know communications best, but because it shines a light on a team that’s been quietly (and not-so-quietly) reshaping how real estate brands tell their stories.
Led by Laura Corrigan, EVP of Marketing & Communications, the in-house PR squad includes Senior Director Andrea Delgado, PR Manager Fernanda Lopez, and PR Coordinators Olivia Cyr and Katelyn Schifferdecker. Together, they’ve turned media relations into an art form—one that’s delivered some pretty staggering numbers.
### The Impact: 2,000 Placements and $2 Billion in Ad Value
Let’s put this in perspective. Over the past year alone, the team has secured 2,000 press placements. That’s roughly five and a half stories every single day. And the ad value of that coverage? A cool $2 billion. Yes, billion with a B.
But it’s not just about volume. These placements have landed in the pages (and pixels) of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Forbes, and Mansion Global. The combined audience reach? Over 40 billion. That’s billion with another B—enough to make even the most seasoned PR pro do a double-take.
### Why the Zenith Awards Matter
Presented by Ragan Communications, the Zenith Awards celebrate the most exceptional work in communications, PR, and marketing today. Being named a finalist puts The Agency in the same conversation as teams from Carnival Cruise Line, CNA, Dreamday, Macon-Bibb County, and Wolverine Worldwide—a diverse crew, to be sure, but all at the top of their game.
> “This recognition is a testament to the relentless creativity and strategic thinking our PR team brings to the table every day,” says Corrigan. “We’re not just getting coverage; we’re building a narrative that elevates our entire network.”
### What’s Next: The Winner Announcement
The category winner will be revealed at the Zenith Awards Luncheon on Thursday, November 5th in New York City. Will The Agency take home the top prize? We’ll be watching closely—and rooting for the team that’s already proven they can make headlines.
For now, congratulations to Laura, Andrea, Fernanda, Olivia, and Katelyn. You’ve made your mark, and you’ve made us proud.
