CLIENTS NAME THE CASTLE GROUP A 2026 INC. POWER PARTNER

Client-driven honor comes as the Boston firm marks its 30th anniversary

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, October 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Based on feedback from its clients, The Castle Group has been named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards winner, recognizing the firm among the leading B2B professional services firms in the country. It is the agency’s third time on Inc.’s list, and the honor comes as Castle celebrates its 30th anniversary.

“Wendy and I built Castle on partnership – with each other, our team and our clients,” said Sandy Lish, principal and co-founder of The Castle Group. “Thirty years later, there’s no better validation than hearing it from the clients we serve.”

The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards honor companies with a track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses navigate the challenges of building and growing a company. From hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, marketing, and more, these partners provide expertise and services that enable businesses to operate, scale, and pursue their ambitions.

“Our clients trust us to help them make the right decisions at the moments that matter most,” said Wendy Spivak, principal and co-founder of The Castle Group. “That trust is earned every day by a team whose culture is built on relationships.”

“Castle has been a trusted partner to us for several years, helping elevate our communications through strategic counsel, strong media relationships and a deep understanding of our business,” said Anthony Bond, president and CEO of BOND Brothers, Inc, “Their responsiveness and attention to detail have helped increase our visibility in both new and existing markets, and we value having a team that is so invested in our success. This recognition is incredibly well deserved.”

“The Castle team has been more than a partner to me; through four different organizations now, they’ve shown up like family,” said Imari K. Paris Jeffries, president and CEO of Embrace Boston. “They know the Boston community in their bones: its history, its complexity, its hope. That is why working with them never feels transactional. It feels like being met by people who care about us, about our mission, and about the people we serve. Everything they do carries that love.”

At the core of Castle’s work is its purpose: to nurture deep relationships to achieve professional and personal success for our clients, colleagues, company and community. The firm helps public, private and nonprofit organizations build their reputations, navigate challenges and make the right decisions, with a focus on strategy, relationship marketing, media relations, public affairs, crisis communications and high-profile events.

“Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “The companies on this year’s Power Partners list have done just that. They do not just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they have proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed.”

Founded in 1996 by Sandy Lish and Wendy Spivak, whose 30-year equal partnership remains central to the firm’s success, Castle has grown from a Boston PR firm into a communications agency with national reach and team members in Atlanta and Maui. Over three decades, Castle has been part of the region’s and the country’s major industries, developments and civic moments. This year, the Boston Business Journal ranked Castle No. 3 among the largest PR firms in Massachusetts.

Castle’s other recognitions include Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year, PRNEWS Agency Elite and the Boston Business Journal’s Power 50 and Leading Women honors.
