Aker Ink CEO Andrea Aker once again made AzBusiness Leaders’ annual list of the state’s most influential professionals. Known for her perseverance, dedication to mentorship and outstanding client service, the agency founder and talented entrepreneur was recognized among Arizona’s leading businesspeople for the fourth year in a row.

Publication editors carefully selected 500 trailblazers among more than 5,000 executives in a range of industries, including healthcare, real estate, law, marketing, education, banking and more.

Andrea was honored as one of the top 10 public relations leaders in Arizona for her success in guiding businesses through complex communication challenges to achieve significant growth — while also significantly expanding her own team last year.

“Public relations is an art and a science, and I’m honored to be recognized for taking a strategic approach to both,” Andrea said. “Leading this exceptional team and our exceptional clients to success has been incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to accomplishing even more in 2024.”
