Recognition highlights the firm’s national expansion, disciplined communications strategy, and sustained impact across high-stakes media environments
Elev8 New Media (“Elev8”), an award-winning boutique public and media relations firm, today announced it has been named an honoree of The PR Net Next Gen Awards for the fourth consecutive year. The recognition reflects Elev8’s continued momentum as a nationally operating agency known for strategic rigor, senior-level counsel, and consistent execution across complex, high-visibility moments.
The 2025 Next Gen Awards committee recognized Elev8’s evolution from a boutique firm into a scaled, national platform supporting companies navigating growth, scrutiny, and inflection points. Over the past year, Elev8 expanded its footprint across key U.S. markets, including California, New York, Arizona, and Illinois, while advising clients across finance, technology, healthcare, and other regulated and emerging sectors.
During this period, Elev8 led communications strategies tied to major corporate milestones, including transactions, regulatory developments, market transitions, and leadership visibility initiatives. The firm secured hundreds of top-tier earned media placements in outlets such as CNBC, Bloomberg, The New York Times, and Reuters, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner in environments where credibility, accuracy, and restraint are critical.
“Being recognized by The PR Net for the fourth year in a row reflects how intentionally we built our agency,” said Jessica Starman, Founder and CEO of Elev8 New Media. “Our model is designed for complexity, combining strategic clarity, media discipline, and senior-level execution. As we expand nationally, our focus has remained the same, which is to help clients communicate with credibility, navigate scrutiny, and build durable narratives that stand up over time.”
Elev8 New Media provides integrated public relations and corporate social media services, working closely with executive teams, boards, and internal stakeholders to align messaging, manage risk, and elevate visibility in a measured, market-aware way. The firm is known for its hands-on approach, senior leadership involvement, and ability to translate complex stories into clear, credible narratives across mainstream, business, and trade media.
