FleishmanHillard Wins 2026 Innovation Awards for Data-Driven Strategy
FleishmanHillard has won two North America 2026 SABRE Awards: Data-Driven Agency of the Year for “Democratizing Data” and Data Professional of the Year for Ines Schumacher and SAGE Synthetic Audiences.
SAGE Synthetic Audiences, built on Omnicom’s industry-leading data stack and FleishmanHillard’s audience profiling expertise, was officially introduced last spring.
The wins underscore FleishmanHillard’s operational mindset of embedding intelligence and analytics at the center of communications strategy.
The recognition follows last fall’s news of 13 AMEC Measurement and Evaluation Awards including seven Gold, four Silver and two Bronze across FleishmanHillard TRUE Global Intelligence, Methods+Mastery and Omnicom Public Relations. Those accolades included Innovation Award for New Measurement Methodologies, Best Use of New Technology in Communications Measurement and Best Use of Measurement for a Single Event or Campaign.
The wins reflect what FleishmanHillard describes as an “integrated intelligence model,” where rigorous analysis and critical thinking are baked into strategy development and execution from the start rather than applying data after the fact. The news follows the rollout of the agency’s counselor-led AI solutions suite FH Fusion last summer.
The SABRE recognition validates the investments made in building proprietary methodologies, scaling analytics capabilities across regions and training advisors agency-wide to lead with insight.
