Los Angeles’ PR scene is as competitive as it gets, but Marketing Maven has officially cracked the top tier. The bicoastal marketing and public relations agency has been ranked 10th among the Top PR Firms in Los Angeles by O’Dwyer’s, a long-standing authority in PR industry rankings.

This recognition places Marketing Maven alongside heavyweights like Edelman, Finn Partners, and Team Lewis—firms that have traditionally dominated the region.

A Broader Footprint

Beyond the Top 10 Los Angeles ranking, O’Dwyer’s also recognized Marketing Maven for its strength in multiple sectors, including healthcare, finance, professional services, nonprofit, travel, and technology. The firm’s reach isn’t limited to Southern California either—it operates nationally with offices in both Los Angeles and New York City.

CEO and President Lindsey Carnett, who founded the company 16 years ago, described the milestone as a full-circle moment: “I started Marketing Maven on the West Coast, and it has been exhilarating seeing it grow into a Top 10 Los Angeles PR firm. We are striving to bring our excellence in L.A. to our operations throughout the country.”

Why It Matters

O’Dwyer’s PR rankings are no small feat. Firms are required to submit tax documents verifying revenue, and results are segmented by both geography and vertical. Unlike some industry lists, O’Dwyer’s rankings emphasize PR-specific services like counseling and media outreach, rather than advertising or production-heavy revenue.

For Marketing Maven, this recognition not only validates its cross-sector expertise but also underscores its positioning as a mid-sized agency competing with global giants. With client needs evolving across social media, influencer marketing, digital advertising, and integrated campaigns, the firm’s hybrid offering of research, strategy, and execution seems well-timed.
