Balcom Agency, a full-service marketing agency with 32 years of local, regional and nationwide experience, is pleased to recognize Founder & Chief Executive Officer Stuart Balcom and President Ashley Freer for being named as two of Fort Worth’s 500 Most Influential People of the Year by Fort Worth Inc. magazine. This marks Balcom’s eighth time to be included in the magazine’s annual publication and Freer’s sixth mention.
The publication seeks to annually honor people in Greater Fort Worth and Tarrant County “who wield significant influence in industry, philanthropy, nonprofits, government and public policy, economic development, professional services, education, civic affairs, arts, religion, sports, and media, or within their own spheres.” Previous editions have recognized 400 people, with the number increasing to 500 in the 2025 issue.
“Stuart and Ashley don’t just lead today’s conversations – they help drive tomorrow’s success,” said Carol Glover, chief creative officer and a partner in the agency alongside Balcom, Freer, Steve Cantrell and Toni Stuard.
“The impact they project into the future matters to us, our city, our state and beyond – and we’re thrilled to see them included in the conversation around visionary Fort Worth leaders.”
