Pence Media Group Founder Nicole Pence Becker named to Ragan’s Top Women in Marketing List

Some of the most meaningful awards don’t celebrate a single campaign, they recognize the leadership, vision and relationships behind years of work. 

Nicole Pence Becker, owner and operator of Pence Media Group (PMG), has been named a 2026 honoree in Ragan Communications and PR Daily’s Top Women in Marketing Awards in the Founder or Independent Consultant category. The national recognition reflects not only excellence in marketing, but the leadership and vision behind building organizations and teams that make a lasting impact.

Presented annually by Ragan Communications and PR Daily, the Top Women in Marketing Awards celebrate leaders from agencies and organizations across the country whose work is setting new standards in strategy, innovation, brand leadership and audience engagement. Honorees are recognized not only for the results they deliver, but also for the teams they build, the leaders they develop and the lasting impact they make on the industry. 

For Nicole, this award is a reflection of the culture and team she has intentionally built at PMG. What began as a one-person consultancy has grown into an award-winning team of strategists, storytellers and marketers who share a commitment to delivering exceptional client experiences and meaningful results.

“I am incredibly humbled and honored to be recognized as part of Ragan’s 2026 Class of Top Women in Marketing,” said Nicole Pence Becker. “This year’s honorees represent organizations and agencies across industries bringing fresh ideas to brand strategy, content, digital experiences, audience engagement and more, while building stronger teams and mentoring emerging talent along the way. That’s something I try to live out every day and this recognition belongs to the whole PMG team as much as it does to me.”

Leading with Purpose

Since PMG’s founding in 2017, marketing has always been about helping organizations find and share the stories that matter most. That focus has shaped PMG into a trusted partner for organizations looking for more. Clients turn to PMG not simply to execute marketing tactics, but to uncover the stories that build trust, strengthen reputations and move organizations forward.

Along the way, Nicole has been equally intentional about building a company that reflects those same values. She believes meaningful work starts with a team that feels empowered to contribute, supported to grow and inspired by the impact they’re creating together. By creating an environment where curiosity is encouraged and bold ideas are welcomed, she has fostered a culture that embraces innovation while never losing sight of the people and purpose behind the work. Her goal has never been simply to build a successful consultancy, but to build one where purpose drives the work and people are proud to be part of it.

That commitment to purpose, people and meaningful impact is captured in a phrase that has become a mantra at PMG: #ConsiderItDone. More than a tagline, it reflects the mindset Nicole has instilled since the beginning: show up with initiative, find a way forward, and follow through for clients and one another. It’s a standard that guides how the PMG team works, collaborates, and delivers every day.

Nicole will be honored alongside Ragan’s 2026 Class of Top Women in Marketing at the awards luncheon on Thursday, October 22 at the Yale Club in New York City, bringing together marketing leaders from brands, agencies and organizations across the country.

CONSIDER IT DONE.
