Wireside Communications Celebrates a Year of Industry Recognition Led by PRovoke Media Innovator 25 Honors

Industry awards highlight innovative leadership and exceptional client work across enterprise technology, AI and cybersecurity

Wireside Communications is celebrating a year of industry recognition, highlighted by co-CEOs RJ Bardsley and Joya Subudhi being named to PRovoke Media’s 2026 Innovator 25 Americas list. The annual recognition honors communications leaders who are redefining the profession through innovation, leadership and measurable client impact.

At the heart of the firm’s strategic approach to communications is The Community Effect, a commitment to building connected communities, based on the recognition that the most powerful stories go beyond facts and figures—they carry a human and cultural resonance. These are the stories that stick, that spark conversation and that drive deeper engagement and lie at the center of the firm’s efforts to connect reporters, analysts, influencers, creators, its own teams and its clients.

The Community Effect has come to life over the past year through events like NTT Research’s annual Upgrade conference, the NTT Experience at the Osaka World Expo, the annual NTT R&D Forum and more. It has led to innovative technology campaigns, including a Cho Kubuki performance to showcase photonics-based communication technology and curating cultural experiences and executive dinners—all making technology more human.
