When a business award is decided not by a panel of judges but by the direct testimonials of the clients themselves, it carries a different kind of weight. That is precisely the scenario for Imarc, a Massachusetts-based digital agency, which has just been named a winner in the 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards, an annual program that spotlights B2B companies providing the essential services and expertise entrepreneurs need to grow their operations.
The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards recognizes B2B companies that provide essential services and expertise to help entrepreneurs and businesses grow
The recognition, announced by Inc. magazine, highlights firms that have proven track records in assisting businesses with everything from hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, and marketing. These partners supply the know-how and services that allow companies to operate efficiently, scale up, and chase their bigger goals.
They don’t just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists.”— Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc.
“Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “The companies on this year’s Power Partners list have done just that. They don’t just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they’ve proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed.”
Imarc has been named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards winner, recognizing the company among the leading B2B partners supporting entrepreneurs and businesses across the country.
For Imarc, the honor is rooted in the tangible outcomes it delivers for B2B brands in technology, cybersecurity, higher education, and healthcare. Through a mix of strategy, design, development, and performance marketing, the agency has produced results such as a 99.4% reduction in translation costs and multiple award-winning websites. The company notes that this particular accolade is especially meaningful because it comes straight from the clients who experience the work firsthand, reflecting long-term partnerships that in some cases have spanned more than a decade.
“Recognition is always nice but when it’s driven by our client’s verbatim experience with us it’s extra special. The team here works really hard to make sure we’re not only doing what’s asked, but thinking about what’s needed, and what should be next. It’s that mindset that makes Imarc an effective partner and I’m grateful for it.” said Patrick McPhail, Imarc’s CEO.
Imarc was recognized for the Power Partner award and celebrates being an agency that goes above and beyond to support their clients, building meaningful partnerships and helping businesses succeed. The award is based on actual client input from many Imarc digital clients. A few of those included Beacon Hill Solutions Group, Skillsoft, AACSB, SecurityScorecard, Tufts Medical Center, and Intellect. Imarc’s first client Marriott is still a client today, 29 years later.
