(Los Angeles, CA) Top adult public relations firm The Rub PR therubpr.com has won Best Publicist (formerly Best Public Relations Firm) a third time from the ASN Awards. She previously won the award in 2022 and 2025.

Last weekend, the ASN Awards held a private dinner in Orlando, Florida, thrown by owners Michael and Sheri Ramos, in lieu of their usual awards show. Nominees from the country came to celebrate "individuals and organizations whose creativity, professionalism, and dedication continue to shape the industry." Fans and industry votes selected all winners. The star-studded event featured a red carpet and drew a large crowd. It was a three-peat for Erika Icon of The Rub PR, who won the Best Publicist trophy. In addition to winning the coveted award again, Icon's clients took home seven trophies, more than any other PR firm.

"I wasn't able to attend the event this year, since it's a very busy time with nominations. I love the awards-Michael always does a great job. I had fun last year, and it was an honor being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Thank you to everyone who voted for our clients and us," says Erika Icon, Owner and Publicist.
