By Mark Dowd and Eric Soderberg, Co-Managing Partners, Forefront Communications
We’re honored to share that Forefront Communications has been named “Agency of the Year” at the 2025 FinTech Marketing North America Awards, presented last week in New York City.
This recognition reflects the strength of the model we’ve worked hard to build — a full-service fintech and capital markets-focused agency that combines deep industry knowledge with creative excellence and strategic execution. What makes this win particularly meaningful is that it highlights our versatility within the fintech ecosystem. We’ve worked with both high-growth startups and some of the industry’s largest firms, solving their unique challenges with tailored, impactful marketing and communications programs.
We’re proud of the breadth of what we offer — brand, PR, content, digital marketing, design and distribution — but even more proud of how we deliver it. We aim to operate as an extension of our clients’ teams, providing guidance that’s proactive, responsive and grounded in a real understanding of the capital markets and the fintech landscape.
This award is a reflection of two things above all: the trust our clients place in us, and the outstanding work of our team. We are fortunate to collaborate with an extraordinary group of professionals — strategists, writers, designers, digital marketers — who bring creativity, precision and care to everything they do. Their dedication fuels our success and, more importantly, the success of our clients.
Some of the most rewarding partnerships we’ve had are those that began early — helping fintech founders define their brands, shape their narratives and build visibility from the ground up. Watching those companies grow, raise capital, scale operations and reach billion-dollar valuations is incredibly fulfilling. Being part of that journey is why we do what we do.
Looking ahead, we see even greater opportunity. The fintech sector continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and the need for clear messaging, differentiated positioning, elegant design and agile execution is only growing. We’re committed to investing in our capabilities, expanding our reach and delivering even greater value to the firms we serve.
We’re grateful for the recognition — and even more excited about what’s next.
Thank you to our clients, our team and the broader fintech community for your continued support.
— Mark & Eric
