The judges said: “Smoking Gun’s entry is a standout demonstration of strategic excellence combining rapid commercial groth and elite client retention with an industry-leading, award-winning approach to evaluation.”
Being named Integrated Agency of the Year at the 2026 PRMoment Awards is the validation of our borderless approach to communications. In today’s fragmented media landscape, a great story isn’t enough; it has to live seamlessly across PR, social media, and influencer marketing channels.
This win proves that Smoking Gun doesn’t just adapt to the changing media landscape – we’re the award-winning PR agency leading it, delivering fully synchronised campaigns that capture attention wherever audiences look.
Brutal Judging. Global Scale. Nine Wins.
Why AMEC Matters
The judges said: “Smoking Gun stands out for its insight and ambition, earning recognition for excellence in communications planning, research and evaluation.”
In our industry, creative ideas are easy to come by. Proven business impact is much harder. That is why we are incredibly proud of our nine global AMEC Effectiveness Awards.
Run by the International Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communication, the AMEC Awards are widely regarded as the global gold standard for PR. They are notoriously brutal to win.
AMEC judges look at the cold, hard data. They demand proof of real-world business outcomes – like direct sales, market share, and shifted perceptions. Our wins prove that our creatively courageous storytelling delivers undeniable commercial power.
