The award comes as the woman-led agency celebrates 30-years of innovation.

 Augustine Agency, a leading full-service marketing agency based in North Texas, is proud to announce it has been honored with the prestigious 2026 Agency of the Year award by the American Marketing Association Dallas Fort-Worth. The award was presented to the agency at the AMA DFW Marketer of the Year Awards on June 4th, during which the AMA recognized local marketers exceling in their field.  

“This award is a celebration of the Augustine Visioneers whose talent, passion and dedication fuel everything we do,” says Chief Operating Officer Kalie Whitsett. “We’re so proud of our entire team and grateful for the clients who trust us to bring their boldest ideas to life. This award is truly a team effort.” 

As a full-service agency specializing in fusing emotion and innovation into all aspects of marketing, Augustine’s work includes exciting branding campaigns, website redesigns, market research, dynamic videos, thoughtful social media marketing and public relations campaigns, animation and more. A few notable Augustine campaigns include the Taste the Joy campaign for the National Mango Board, the Better Bowl campaign for Avocados From Mexico, the Epic campaign for Discover Siskiyou and many more.  

The Agency of the Year award comes as Augustine celebrates its 30-year anniversary. “Our growing team never ceases to wow us,” says Whitsett. “We have wickedly talented creatives with an eye for the smallest detail, digital strategists who are always three steps ahead, project managers who keep this engine running smoothly, PR experts who can make anything newsworthy, writers who can think of award-winning taglines in their sleep, and a team of relationship experts who are uniquely equipped to understand our clients better than anyone else. This honor is a team effort.”  

The agency first opened its doors in California in 1996 and expanded to open its DFW branch in 2015. The agency, which has just under 50 employees, is also a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business.
