Brian Hart, founder and president of national public relations and digital marketing agency Flackable and weekly online columnist for Inc. Magazine, has been named an honoree of Irish America Magazine’s Business 100, a list of the best and the brightest Irish-American and Irish-born leaders representing some of the most innovative and influential companies and corporations in the world.

Hart, along with the rest of this year’s honorees, will be recognized on December 13th when Irish America celebrates the 32nd Annual Business 100 in New York City with Keynote Speaker Bill McDermott, Chief Executive Officer of software giant SAP SE.

“I owe this one to my family for their immense and unwavering love, support and encouragement,” said Hart. “They’ve always been my biggest fans. It’s what gives me the strength and confidence to continue pursuing my passion.”

Hart earns this honor after being named to PR News‘ Rising PR Stars 30 and Under list in November. Later that month, the story behind his journey to entrepreneurship was featured in Business Insider.

“When I launched Flackable, I was young and broke, yet determined to disrupt an industry in desperate need of disruption,” said Hart. “I knew the traditional public relations agency model was antiquated and unfit to meet the needs of growth-minded financial and professional services firms in the New Media Age. With the help of my amazing team, we continue to fill that void by helping our clients stand out from the competition and reach new levels of growth.”
