INK Expands Team, Client Base, and Integrated Communications Capabilities

INK’s 2027 Agency Elite submission highlighted several ways the agency grew and proactively expanded its capabilities and expertise over the past year:

• Grew agency and client roster: INK grew its team by 11% and its revenue by 20% during the first half of 2026, while maintaining 92% client retention. The agency welcomed new clients, including Procore, Attentive, Landis+Gyr, and AB Group, deepening its work across B2B technology and energy sectors.
• Launched additional AI visibility services: Building on its initial GEO/AEO audits offering, INK formally launched a broader set of AI visibility services that help companies understand, measure, and influence their presence in AI tools.
• Deepened proprietary research: INK launched two special reports examining the data center conversation and its convergence across B2B tech and energy spaces, using cross-platform data and INK analysis to identify emerging narratives and inform communications strategy. These are an extension of the quarterly Be There Before® Media Trends Analysis reports.

“Being a strong agency partner means knowing our clients’ businesses deeply and bringing new thinking and ideas to the table before they even think to ask,” said Starr Million Baker, CEO and co-founder of INK Communications Co. “Seven years in a row on this list underscores how we’re continuing to be the steady and innovative agency B2B tech and energy companies need, especially as the comms landscape undergoes constant and rapid change.”

20+ Years of Staying Ahead in Communications

Since its founding in 2004, INK has continually looked ahead to changes that could affect the agency and its client programs and acted early to prepare for them. This proactive mindset is especially valuable when paired with the agency’s deep specialization in PR for B2B technology and energy companies, which provides the industry context needed to recognize and act on relevant emerging shifts across markets, buyer behaviors, and communications channels.

INK formalized this approach through Be There Before®, its trademarked methodology for operationalizing proactivity across the agency. Built on pillars of Partnership, Integrated Communications and Analysis, Be There Before® gives INK’s teams a consistent framework for bringing clients valuable strategic counsel and emerging opportunities, while also guiding the agency’s investments in people, expertise, capabilities, and tools to support what comes next.
