Ham Partners ranks 64th among global PR agencies, up 9 spots from last year

Ham Partners, a comprehensive communications firm, ranked 64th in the latest global PR agency rankings — up nine places from 73rd last year and 36 spots higher than its 100th-place finish in 2024.

The company announced Monday that it achieved the ranking in the Global Top 300 PR Agency Ranking 2026, published by PRovoke Media, a trade publication covering the global PR industry.

According to PRovoke Media's published data, Ham Partners recorded fee income of $67.075 million in 2025, a roughly 49 percent increase from $45.109 million in 2024. The ranking uses fee income as a benchmark for comparing the scale of PR agencies' operations.

Ham Partners has expanded beyond corporate and brand PR into digital and social marketing, content production, data analytics and customer experience services.

More recently, the firm has been building capabilities in generative engine optimization, which analyzes how brands are surfaced and cited during generative AI search and response processes. The approach involves tracking a brand's visibility in AI-generated outputs and applying those findings to communication strategy.

"The fact that our global ranking continues to rise is one indicator that Ham Partners is growing into a communications firm with global competitiveness, beyond just the Korean market," said Ham Si-won, chief executive of Ham Partners.
