WPR Shortlisted for PRCA Dare 2026

The PRCA Dare Awards shortlist has been unveiled and WPR is in the running for four awards, including large agency of the year and the team culture and community award. 

For this year’s Dare Awards, the PRCA has combined the Midlands and North, creating a vast regional catchment encompassing many of the most talented and exciting agencies from around the UK.

As well as the two agency categories, WPR’s DreamToys campaign for the Toy Retailers Association, is shortlisted in the media relations and event/launch categories.

In the same week, PRWeek has announced its annual league table of the UK’s top 150 PR agencies and WPR has significantly outperformed industry trends to climb 15 places to 92.

Jane Ainsworth, managing director, said: “These are challenging conditions for many brands, so our growth speaks volumes. It is testament to the depth of our team’s talent and the confidence clients have in us to help them achieve their commercial goals.

“With marketing budgets under intense scrutiny, marketers are choosing agency partners they trust to deliver real impact – and we’re proud that so many amazing brands put that trust in us year after year.”

The latest PRWeek ranking puts WPR in the top ten of PR agencies based outside London for the first time, and the Birmingham-based PR agency also features in the top 20 of B2B PR agencies nationally.
