Idea Grove has been named one of the Best Power Partners in the United States by Inc. Only 32 companies received the distinction this year. The category is open to every industry, so Idea Grove shares it with companies in technology, financial services, consulting, HR and other fields.
We were also recognized in three more categories of the 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards: Advertising, Marketing & Sales; Creative & Branding; and Small & Mighty Companies. Inc. honored several hundred companies across 17 categories this year.
Recognition Based on Client Feedback
Inc. selects Power Partners by surveying each applicant's clients on how likely they are to recommend the company, then scoring those results alongside its own research. Honorees are vetted by Inc.'s research department before the list is published.
Inc. featured Idea Grove in its national article announcing this year's Best Power Partners. The article included a testimonial from Travis Springer of Sagiss, a provider of managed IT services and longtime Idea Grove client, who said our agency "consistently delivered high-quality service, strategic guidance, and measurable results."
"We've won plenty of awards for our work over the years, but this one is different because it comes from our clients," said Scott Baradell, founder and CEO of Idea Grove. "Being named one of the best business partners in the country, across every industry, means a lot to everyone here."
This isn't our first honor from Inc. Idea Grove has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies three times. We've also been named one of Inc.'s Best Workplaces twice.
Six Pegasus Award Nominations
The news comes a few weeks before the PRSA Dallas Pegasus Awards, where Idea Grove is a finalist in six categories, more than any other Dallas-area agency.
Our nominations include Agency of the Year and Best Digital Innovation for "Building a Total Visibility Engine for the AI Era," as well as client work for Liveops, Liferay, Thrust Flight and Rently in the Brand Management, Marketing Communications, Public Affairs and Media Relations categories. Winners will be announced Nov. 12 at the Tower Club Dallas.
