Press · October 2026 edition
The Directory Report.Always the latest edition.
The whole directory as a printed book: the standard every practice meets, how a practice gets listed, and a snapshot of every vetted practice. It is redrawn whenever the directory changes, and it is free to read, download, and share.
The editions
Every Month, an Official Edition
On the first of every month the directory publishes an official edition of the report, kept here for good. Browse them to follow the directory as it grows: every practice that joins, every article published. Between editions, the current report above is redrawn whenever the directory changes.
Vetted practices, edition by edition
For practices considering an application
See the Company You Will Keep
Agencies, consultancies, and independent professionals thinking about applying can see exactly who they would be listed beside, how every practice is presented, and the standard each one met to get here. Every edition is the whole directory, not a selection of it.
Why it is public
We Chose to Publish It Live
The report began as an internal document. We made it public, and kept it current, on purpose.
Transparency
Anyone can check every practice in this directory against the standard it met, in one document, without signing up for anything. Most directories in this industry sell placement quietly; this one publishes what it is, in full.
Engagement
A report people can read, download, print, and pass along does the work a directory should: it puts vetted practices in front of the people looking for them, and gives practices something worth sharing.
Appeal
A practice considering an application can see exactly how it would be presented, beside whom, and to what standard. A client can see the whole field before searching it.
What is inside
Every Edition Holds
The standing pages are the same in every edition. Everything that depends on the directory is drawn from it at the time: a practice listed, updated, or removed shows in the next edition automatically.
Who the report is for
One page for each kind of reader: clients hiring a practice, and practices deciding whether to apply.
The standard
About the directory, the seven vetting criteria, the four-step process, and the Code of Ethics, as published.
The directory in numbers
What every listing shares and how they differ: practice type, engagement, price tier, who they serve, and what they specialize in.
The directory index
Every vetted practice at a glance: its name, mark, practice type, location, and how to reach it, in alphabetical order after the founder listing.
The snapshots
Each practice in brief: what it is, who it serves, its price tier, its AI disclosure in its own words, and its contact details.
The editorial and its contributors
The long-form writing published by listed practices, and the people who write it.
How it stays current
No Edition Goes Stale
The online copy is rebuilt with the directory itself, so it always matches the listings on this site. The current PDF is regenerated automatically whenever the directory changes, and an official edition is published on the first of every month. Practices appear alphabetically, after the founder listing; the order is not a ranking. The PBA Power Ranking, by verified client reviews, is kept on the site because it changes as reviews come in. Figures such as founding year, team size, and clients served are reported by each practice at application and must be ones it can substantiate.
A listing is not an endorsement. Vetting verifies identity, stated credentials, and the ethics commitment at the time of review. The report never carries site analytics.

Questions About the Report
What is the Personal Branding Agencies directory report?
A printable report of the whole directory: the vetting standard, how a practice gets listed, the Code of Ethics, the directory in numbers, an index, a snapshot of every vetted practice, the editorial, and the contributors. It is free to read and download.
How often is the directory report updated?
The current report is redrawn whenever the directory changes. An official edition is also published on the first of every month and never overwritten, so the catalog of editions shows how the directory has grown.
How are practices ordered in the report?
Alphabetically, after the founder listing, which is shown first and labeled as such. The order is not a ranking and cannot be bought. The PBA Power Ranking, built from verified client reviews, is published separately.
How should the report be cited?
As the Personal Branding Agencies directory report, with its edition month, linking to personalbrandingagencies.com/press/report/ so readers reach the latest edition.
Does the report include site analytics?
No. The public report never carries site analytics. Counts of listings, locations, articles, and contributors come from the directory itself.
