Enter Now: Asia-Pacific Consultancy Performance Index 2026 🌏
Submissions are now open for the 2026 Asia-Pacific Consultancy Performance Index, our data-driven benchmark that recognises PR consultancies across a range of key industry metrics.
Earned First's Consultancy Performance Index is now accepting submissions from PR consultancies across Asia-Pacific, as it enters its second year as the region's most rigorous independent benchmarking initiative.
PR and communications consultancies in Asia-Pacific markets may now begin their submissions for the Index, which will culminate in Earned First Index Champions being recognised across specific markets and categories at the Earned First Awards (Asia-Pacific) in Singapore on 6 October.
The Index identifies and recognises the industry's most innovative and impactful consultancies through comprehensive analysis of business metrics, client outcomes, market influence, and strategic capabilities. Last year's inaugural edition saw Golin named overall Asia-Pacific champion alongside category winners including Sandpiper, Havas Red, Adfactors, Vero, The Hoffman Agency, SenateSHJ, MSL and Ogilvy PR.
Alongside Asia-Pacific, the Consultancy Index has also been completed in the Middle East, with Africa currently underway — and has revealed crucial data and trends produced from the research.
Submissions, which do not carry any cost, will be evaluated across five key performance areas, informing published scorecards for consultancies that are shortlisted for further recognition:
- Business Performance (25%)
- Creative Impact & Client Outcomes (25%)
- Innovation & Thought Leadership (20%)
- Talent & Culture (20%)
- Industry Leadership (10%)
The deadline for Asia-Pacific submissions is 3 July 2026. You may edit a completed submission at any point before this date via the link in your confirmation email. For partially completed submissions, your progress is automatically saved as long as you resume from the same browser/device.
For any queries, please contact us here. We're hopeful that these data-driven insights will help us better understand and benchmark what truly drives consultancy success in today's fast-changing communications sector.
The Consultancy Performance Index is a separate research process from the Earned First Awards, which recognises campaign work.
