Lauded for her public relations mastery and ability to guide organizations through complex communications challenges, Aker Ink CEO Andrea Aker once again earned a spot on AzBusiness Leaders — a comprehensive annual list highlighting the state’s standout executives for 2026.
Marking her sixth straight appearance in the publication, Andrea was selected as one of just six PR professionals for her strategic vision, commitment to elevating brands and measurable impact on Arizona’s business community.
Editors chose 500 honorees from thousands of nominations and editorial board recommendations across healthcare, real estate, technology, law, finance, marketing and more. Each leader is selected for shaping Arizona’s economic direction and driving meaningful progress in their field.
“I’m honored to be recognized again, especially at a time when communications is evolving at breakneck speed,” Andrea said. “I’m proud of the work we’re doing to push the boundaries of what PR can achieve in such a defining moment for the industry.”
