NEW YORK – March 5, 2026 – Marino, a leading national strategic communications firm based in New York City with offices in Los Angeles and Miami, has been named to Qwoted’s Top PR Agencies list, honoring the top-performing public relations agencies in its network who build strong media relationships and deliver consistent results. The distinction highlights Marino’s commitment to excellence in media engagement, responsiveness, and impactful results across its client roster. 

Now published on Qwoted’s platform — a leading expert network that connects PR professionals with journalists and media opportunities — the Top PR Agencies list spotlights agencies that consistently demonstrate standout performance across key media relations metrics. Marino is recognized not just for the volume of activity, but for its measurable impact in building meaningful media relationships and securing coverage that advances client objectives. 

“The Agency Awards recognize teams that consistently show up with relevance, speed, and respect for journalists’ time,” said Dan Simon, CEO of Qwoted. “The agencies that do best on Qwoted aren’t just pitching more — they’re listening better, responding faster, and building real trust with the media.”   

Qwoted’s agency rankings are determined using real-time performance data from its network, analyzing how agencies and their teams interact with journalists and deliver results. The methodology evaluates: 

• Overall Pitch Success Rate — tracking the volume of successful pitches that generate positive media responses. 
• Responsiveness — how quickly and thoughtfully team members reply to reporter inquiries. 
• Quality of Interactions — the depth and relevance of engagements between PR professionals and the press. 
• Media Coverage Volume — the amount of earned coverage facilitated through Qwoted’s platform. 

“Inclusion on Qwoted’s Top PR Agencies list reflects the talent and dedication of our team,” said John F. Marino, President of Marino. “This recognition speaks to the strong partnerships we’ve built with both clients and the media, and to the strategic approach that defines our work.”  

Qwoted’s annual Agency Awards initiative, which underpins the Top PR Agencies list, uses a proprietary algorithm that pulls performance data from across the Qwoted network. The evaluation emphasizes not just the quantity of activity, but media relationship quality — including reporter feedback and engagement outcomes — reflecting what effective, modern PR engagements look like.
