The PR Net Next Gen Awards, 2026: W Communications North America

W Communications North America

Consumer Agency of the Year

Cultural relevance and commercial velocity defined a standout year for W Communications North America, as the team delivered ambitious, market-shaping work for consumer brands navigating the complexity of the U.S. landscape. Acting as a strategic partner rather than a traditional press office, W led national and city-specific programs for brands including F1 Arcade, POP MART, Sierra, Reloshare, Gift of Life, and The Independent, translating cultural insight into measurable outcomes. A defining case study was the U.S. expansion of F1 Arcade, where W repositioned an unfamiliar concept into a must-visit destination at the intersection of sport, nightlife, and hospitality, supporting multiple city launches, driving opening-week footfall above projections, and contributing to accelerated national growth. For POP MART, W reframed the global collectibles brand as a design and lifestyle phenomenon, building creator ecosystems that fueled demand, queues, and rapid retail expansion. Across retail, social impact, and media, W delivered localization frameworks, creator-led storytelling, and community-first narratives that drove visibility, trust, and sustained growth in highly competitive consumer categories.
