The Herald Group Named a Top Agency Workplace in PR Daily’s 2026 Top Agencies Awards
WASHINGTON, D.C. — September 29, 2026 — The Herald Group (THG) has been named a Top Agency Workplace in PR Daily’s 2026 Top Agencies Awards.
The recognition underscores THG’s commitment to building a workplace where talented people can grow and take on meaningful responsibilities throughout their careers.
“The strength of this firm has always been its people,” said Hallie Neibauer, director of people and culture at The Herald Group. “We want THG to be a place where people learn from one another, take on meaningful challenges and have a real role in our clients’ success. Being recognized as a Top Agency Workplace is a credit to the entire team and the culture they help build every day.”
In 2025, THG welcomed 17 new hires and celebrated 11 promotions. Its professional development programs include weekly, peer-led “THG Academy” training, monthly workshops on practical AI applications and mentorship from senior leaders. Partners and vice presidents regularly meet with junior colleagues to discuss career goals and provide guidance.
“Our responsibility is to make sure that as the firm grows, our people have opportunities to grow with it,” Neibauer added. “That means investing in their skills, trusting them with important work and recognizing what they contribute. The culture we’ve built depends on making that commitment part of how we operate every day.”
Founded in 2005, the firm has made developing talent from within central to its growth. Junior employees receive meaningful responsibility early in their careers, supported by accessible senior leaders, practical training and opportunities to advance.
The firm’s culture also includes recognition and connection beyond client work. Each week, employees pass the “Dundee” award to a colleague who has gone above and beyond. Staff celebrations, team outings and support for personal milestones reinforce the relationships that help sustain that culture as the firm grows.
