ARLINGTON, Va. — Delivering creative solutions, investing in people, and staying on the leading edge of technology: that’s why MarCom Group is on the rise! The Washington Business Journal ranked the agency No. 3 on its 2026 list of the Largest Advertising Agencies in Greater Washington, marking another major milestone in the agency’s continued growth.
Last year, the agency was ranked No. 5, continuing the impressive climb from No. 7 in 2023 and No. 10 the year before. For a woman-owned small business competing in one of the nation’s most competitive markets, reaching the top three is an achievement worth celebrating. The new ranking comes on the heels of MarCom Group being named to the Inc. 5000 list earlier this summer.
“Moving into the top three is an incredible milestone for MarCom Group. What makes me most proud is what’s behind that number,” said Lauren Rainford, CEO and owner of MarCom Group. “It reflects the trust our clients place in us, the exceptional work our team delivers every day, and our determination to keep evolving. We’ve grown while maintaining the creativity, collaboration, and client-first approach that have defined MarCom Group for 30 years.”
MarCom Group’s continued rise reflects the agency’s expanding capabilities and reputation as a trusted partner to mission-driven organizations. From advertising and brand strategy to digital development, research and analytics, media planning, recruitment consulting, strategic communications, and event management, MarCom Group combines creative thinking with technology and strategy to deliver solutions that move missions forward.
“MarCom Group has seen unprecedented growth over the past three years,” said Sam Mohs, COO of MarCom Group. “This achievement comes from building on our already strong client relationships, making smart investments in our people and technology capabilities, and consistently delivering results. Reaching No. 3 is something our entire team is exceedingly proud of, and it gives us even more momentum for what comes next.”
As MarCom Group celebrates 30 years in business, the agency remains focused on the same principles that have fueled its growth: championing people, embracing innovation, delivering exceptional work, and helping clients achieve their most important goals.
