For the fourth consecutive year, Reshift Media has been recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the leading suppliers serving the franchise industry, ranking #2 in the Marketing Agencies category in Entrepreneur’s 2026 Top Franchise Suppliers.
The recognition continues a significant period of growth for Reshift Media as we expand our work with franchise organizations across the United States, Canada and internationally. It also adds to a growing collection of industry recognition for both Reshift Media and Franify, our franchise marketing technology platform. Over the past four years, Reshift Media has earned four consecutive Entrepreneur Top Franchise Supplier rankings and four consecutive Global Franchise Awards recognizing us as the World’s Best Franchise Marketing Firm. We have also received three consecutive Gold Stevie Awards at the International Business Awards, most recently for Technical Innovation of the Year in 2026 for Franify.
Taken together, these awards tell a story that we are particularly proud of. Reshift Media has spent more than a decade focused on the unique marketing challenges of franchise and multi-location organizations. During that time, we have expanded our capabilities, grown our international client base and invested heavily in technology designed specifically for franchisors and franchisees. The recognition we have received over the past several years reflects that evolution.
Four Consecutive Years of Recognition from Entrepreneur
Entrepreneur’s annual Top Franchise Suppliers ranking is particularly meaningful because it is based on feedback from the franchise community. More than 1,000 franchise brands participated in the 2026 survey, identifying the suppliers they and their franchisees work with and rating their satisfaction based on quality, cost and value.
Reshift Media ranked #2 in the Marketing Agencies category for 2026, with Entrepreneur describing our offering as “Social media, search, software, and website development for franchises.” This marks our fourth consecutive appearance on the list, following our #1 ranking in Entrepreneur’s Marketing category in 2024 and our #2 ranking among Marketing Agencies in 2025.
“Being recognized by Entrepreneur for the fourth consecutive year is incredibly meaningful because the ranking is driven by feedback from the franchise community,” said Steve Buors, CEO and Co-Founder of Reshift Media. “When you combine that with four consecutive Global Franchise Awards and three consecutive Gold Stevie Awards, we’re incredibly proud of the consistency. We have chosen to focus our company on franchise marketing, innovation and technology, and it’s rewarding to see that work recognized year after year.”
That focus on franchising has shaped how Reshift Media has grown. Today, we work with franchise and multi-location organizations across the United States, Canada and internationally, providing digital advertising, social media, search engine optimization, franchise development marketing, content and influencer marketing, website and mobile development, conversion optimization and proprietary franchise marketing technology. Working across different brands, markets and countries has also given our team extensive experience navigating the balance between global or national brand strategy and the local marketing needs of individual franchise locations.
Four Years as the World’s Best Franchise Marketing Firm
The Entrepreneur ranking follows another important recognition earlier this year. Reshift Media received a Global Franchise Award for the fourth consecutive year, continuing our run as the World’s Best Franchise Marketing Firm from 2023 through 2026.
The Global Franchise Awards are evaluated by an international panel of franchise industry experts, so they provide a different perspective from Entrepreneur’s franchisor-driven ranking. The consistency across the two programs is especially meaningful to us. One reflects feedback from franchise organizations working with suppliers, while the other brings together perspectives from experienced leaders within the international franchise community.
That international perspective also reflects the direction of our business. While Reshift Media was founded and is headquartered in Toronto, our work has never been limited by geography. We support franchise organizations and campaigns throughout the United States and Canada, as well as in the United Kingdom and other international markets. That experience has reinforced something we have believed for years: successful franchise marketing requires a combination of strong centralized strategy and the ability to create relevant local experiences at scale.
Three Consecutive Gold Stevie Awards Reflect Our Evolution
Our recent recognition from the International Business Awards provides another perspective on how Reshift Media has evolved. In both 2024 and 2025, Reshift Media received the Gold Stevie Award for Marketing Disruptor of the Year, recognizing our work in localized franchise digital marketing and the proprietary technology we developed to make sophisticated local execution possible across large franchise systems.
In 2026, that recognition moved from marketing innovation to technology innovation when Franify won the Gold Stevie Award for Technical Innovation of the Year. For us, that progression is significant. The technology behind Franify grew out of years of hands-on experience managing the practical challenges that franchisors and franchisees encounter when trying to execute digital marketing across many locations.
The result is a natural progression in our business. Reshift Media continues to provide strategy and execution for franchise organizations, while Franify gives franchisors and franchisees purpose-built technology to manage many of those same challenges at scale.
Franify Builds on More Than a Decade of Franchise Marketing Experience
Franify is Reshift Media’s AI-powered digital marketing platform built specifically for franchise organizations. It connects franchisor strategy and brand control with local franchisee marketing execution, enabling marketing teams to create advertising campaigns and social media content centrally and then localize those initiatives across dozens, hundreds or thousands of individual locations.
The platform brings together digital advertising, organic social media management and publishing, franchise development marketing, AI, automation, dynamic localization, franchisee participation, local budgeting and billing, analytics and reporting. Its structure reflects what our team has learned from years of working directly with franchise organizations, particularly the importance of giving head office appropriate control while making local marketing practical and accessible for franchisees.
That connection between services and technology is an important part of the Reshift Media story. The strategies our team develops for franchise organizations inform the technology we build, while the capabilities of Franify allow us to execute increasingly sophisticated national-to-local marketing programs. Franify’s 2026 Gold Stevie for Technical Innovation of the Year is an important milestone in that evolution and builds on the marketing innovation recognized by the International Business Awards in the previous two years.
For franchise organizations exploring the technology available in this space, we recently published a detailed comparison of leading franchise digital marketing platforms for 2026, examining Franify alongside SOCi, Tiger Pistol, Hyperlocology and Birdeye across a range of franchise-specific capabilities.
Looking Ahead for Reshift Media and Franify
Four consecutive Entrepreneur recognitions, four consecutive years as the World’s Best Franchise Marketing Firm and three consecutive Gold Stevie Awards represent an exciting period for Reshift Media, but they also reflect a much longer investment in the franchise industry.
For more than a decade, our team has worked with franchisors and franchisees to solve the challenge at the heart of franchise marketing: how to combine the scale, sophistication and brand consistency of a national or international organization with effective marketing in individual local communities. As our client base has expanded throughout the United States, Canada and internationally, the scale of that challenge has grown, and so has our ability to address it through a combination of people, strategy, processes and technology.
The 2026 Entrepreneur recognition is another important milestone in that journey. We are grateful to the franchise organizations and franchisees who continue to trust Reshift Media with their marketing, and proud to see both Reshift Media and Franify increasingly recognized for the work our team has spent years building.
