Violet PR Named to Inc.’s Prestigious 2025 ‘Best Workplaces List’

The annual list recognizes companies setting the standard for workplace success; honor comes amid Violet PR’s recognition as a top U.S. boutique agency

MONTCLAIR, N.J., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Violet PR, a New Jersey-based public relations firm specializing in economic development and real estate, is proud to announce that it has been named to Inc.’s 2025 Best Workplaces list honoring companies that have built exceptional workplaces and vibrant cultures that support their teams and businesses.

This year’s list, featured on Inc.com, is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures – whether in-person or remote.

Violet PR stood out not only for its national impact in economic development storytelling, but also for its vibrant and inclusive workplace culture. The agency fosters a collaborative, flexible environment where creativity thrives and team members are empowered to lead with purpose.

The firm blends “big-agency results” with small-team camaraderie, offering generous professional development opportunities, including direct mentorship. This people-first approach fuels the agency’s reputation as a trusted partner for economic development and real estate organizations.

“Our goal has always been to create the kind of workplace where talented people feel seen, supported and inspired to do their best work,” said April Mason, founder and president of Violet PR. “By focusing on meaningful storytelling and building a team culture rooted in trust, flexibility and purpose, we’ve been able to attract incredible colleagues who care deeply about making an impact in the communities we serve.”

The prestigious Inc. award process involves a detailed employee survey, covering critical elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall company culture. Each company’s benefits are also audited to determine overall score and ranking. Violet PR is one of 514 total recipients this year.

“Inc.’s Best Workplaces program celebrates the exceptional organizations whose workplace cultures address their employees’ welfare and needs in meaningful ways,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “As companies expand and adapt to changing economic forces, maintaining such a culture is no small feat. Yet, these honorees have not only achieved it – they continue to elevate the employee experience through thoughtful benefits, engagement and a deep commitment to their teams.”

The boutique, New Jersey-based agency currently represents economic development organizations for the states of Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina and Oklahoma; plus, the cities of Buffalo, N.Y.; Frisco, Texas; the Kansas City Metro; Lehigh Valley, Pa.; Newark, N.J.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Lincoln, Neb.; and Topeka, Kan.
