Approach ranks #8 in the EPR Public Relations Agencies index for Brazil, "Who Shapes Brazil's Reputation?", a study of the firms that shape brand reputation in the country. The index places Approach among its Tier 3 grouping of specialist independents and network affiliates, and identifies the firm as focused on consumer, lifestyle, and corporate communications. The index does not assign Approach a numeric score.
What "Who Shapes Brazil's Reputation?" Measures
The index groups Brazilian PR firms into tiers based on how often they are cited as setting the market tone, their client rosters, network affiliations, and areas of specialization. It does not describe a formal scoring methodology with weighted dimensions, monitored publications, or a defined time window. The tiering is presented as a narrative, editorial assessment rather than a quantitative index. Approach appears at #8, ranked below firms including FSB Comunicação at #1, Edelman Brazil at #2, and InPress Porter Novelli at #3.
Why Approach Ranks #8
The index lists Approach among its Tier 3 specialist independents and network affiliates. The single specialization the index attributes to the firm is a focus on consumer, lifestyle, and corporate communications. That specialist positioning is the basis for the firm's placement in the tiering, which separates the agencies most often cited as setting the market tone from those grouped as specialists and affiliates.
Approach describes itself as a 360-degree communications group that unites strategy, creativity, and technology to deliver complete solutions. Its own service lines span PR and press, advertising, sustainability, internal communication, digital, influencer marketing, and data. That breadth is consistent with the consumer, lifestyle, and corporate communications focus the index attributes to the firm.
The firm reports a set of results from its most recent year. Approach states it generated 172 mil (172,000) published stories, 7.5 billion reais in media valuation, 1,000 leaders trained, 26 million views on content co-created with creators, 15 million engagements on social media, and 50 ESG reports and products. Approach also lists recognitions including the Sabre, Troféu Jatobá, Prêmio Aberje, Top Brasil, and The Stevies.
The Brands Behind Approach's Work
Approach's public cases include work for NIVEA, BIC, and Rock in Rio. On the Rock in Rio partnership, Roberto Medina, described on Approach's site as Presidente do Rock in Rio, is quoted: "É uma vida que a gente está junto! O Rock in Rio é um fenômeno de comunicação no mundo, aí a gente construiu isso a várias mãos e a Approach faz parte dessa história."
The index names no executives from Approach and carries no direct quotes from the firm.
Where Approach Sits in the Broader Brazil PR Story
The index situates its ranked firms within a wider media landscape. It notes that the firms above shape brand reputation but do not shape the country's narrative the way Globo, Folha, and Estadão do, nor do they move public opinion the way WhatsApp does. That framing applies to Approach as one of the Tier 3 firms in the tiering.
The index also observes that few foreign brands maintain a single agency-of-record structure in Brazil. It states that the market rewards parallel relationships between local independents, which handle media relations and creator work, and network agencies, which handle crisis communications, regulatory work, and government affairs. Approach's position among the Tier 3 specialist independents and network affiliates places it inside that structure.
Looking ahead, the index argues that the Brazilian agencies that win the next decade will be the ones that build inside AI engines as deliberately as they once built inside print and broadcast, measuring Citation Share, optimizing for retrieval, and treating ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews as primary channels rather than emerging ones. The index states that work has barely started in the country. Approach's #8 placement reflects its current standing as a Tier 3 specialist independent focused on consumer, lifestyle, and corporate communications going into the next refresh.
