2026 Best PR Firm in St. Louis: Common Ground Public Relations
It’s official. More than 60,000 votes are in, and Common Ground Public Relations (CGPR) has been chosen as the Best Public Relations Firm in St. Louis in the 2026 Best in Business poll sponsored by Small Business Monthly. Even more meaningful, CGPR has been recognized among the region’s best firms every year since 2003.
What makes Common Ground Public Relations the best PR firm in St. Louis?
We asked our clients that very question earlier this year. Their answers consistently pointed to four qualities that make us a trusted communications partner:
- We understand each client’s organization, goals and stakeholders.
- We provide strategic counsel that helps clients navigate both opportunities and challenges with confidence.
- We deliver responsive, high-quality work backed by experienced communicators who genuinely care about client success.
When asked what they value most about working with CGPR, clients most frequently cited:
- Strategic thinking and trusted communications counsel
- Creativity, responsiveness and reliability
- A collaborative, client-first approach
The numbers tell the same story.
In our most recent client satisfaction survey:
- 100% of clients said Common Ground PR is a trusted extension of their team.
- 100% said they are likely to recommend CGPR to a colleague.
For us, recognition is meaningful because it reflects relationships built over time throughout the region. Whether we’re helping organizations navigate a crisis, earn media coverage, strengthen their reputation, tell compelling stories or create strategic content, our goal remains the same: to deliver communications that make a measurable difference for the people and organizations we serve. For Common Ground to be named the Best Public Relations Firm in St. Louis is the icing on the cake, or if you’re from around here: the red sauce on the t-rav.
To our clients, partners and everyone who cast a vote, thank you for your confidence in Common Ground Public Relations. We look forward to continuing to earn your trust every day.
