Mission Partners is thrilled to announce that we have been named one of the 2025 Real Leaders® Top Impact Companies, ranking 5th globally in the Marketing & Media category and placing in the top 80 overall among more than 300 companies around the world. This recognition marks our fourth inclusion on this prestigious list, reaffirming our commitment to driving social change through values-driven communications. 

The 2025 Real Leaders Impact Awards attracted applications from over 15 countries. Companies were assessed on their growth, revenue, and alignment with the six pillars of I.M.P.A.C.T: Intention, Model, People, Accountability, Collaboration, and Transformation. This year’s competition was fiercer than ever, as the ranking criteria were updated to raise the bar for impact companies. Stricter standards included excluding nonprofits and publicly traded companies, as well as raising the minimum revenue requirement to $2 million. 

“We’re proud to be recognized not only as one of the top 80 impact companies globally but also as the 5th highest-ranking marketing and media company,” said Bridget Pooley, Chief Operating Officer and Partner of Mission Partners. “This award is a testament to our long-term commitment to using communications as a tool for social justice and our dedication to supporting our partners in being more equitable in their strategies, and intentional about their impact.“
