The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards recognizes B2B companies that provide essential services and expertise to help entrepreneurs and businesses grow
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#IncPowerPartners--Fantasy, which designs and builds digital products, brand experiences, and intelligent systems, 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. Fantasy is honored in three of the 2026 categories: AI, Technology & Development; Creative & Branding; and General Excellence.
The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards honor B2B companies that have demonstrated a track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses navigate the challenges of building and growing a company. From hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, marketing, and more, these partners provide expertise and services that enable businesses to operate, scale, and pursue their ambitions.
“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.”
“We're grateful to Inc. and, most of all, to our clients, who bring us their hardest problems,” says Firdosh Tangri, CEO of Fantasy. “The question we keep asking is what we're now able to attempt that we couldn't a year ago, and clients are coming to us for things they wouldn't have asked before. This recognition belongs to the people at Fantasy who do that work.”
Fantasy partners with ambitious companies including Priceline, Nike, Google, and Microsoft, and its work for Priceline shows how that partnership plays out. Priceline's AI travel assistant, Penny, was already serving more than 3 million travelers when Priceline decided its look and feel should match the ambition it had for the product. Over eight weeks, a five-person core team from Fantasy and Priceline gave Penny a brand and motion identity of its own, including an animated avatar that shows travelers when Penny is listening, thinking, and generating, and a Figma design system that Priceline's team can extend on its own. The redesigned Penny launched in November 2025 on the Penny Portal, one of Priceline's primary interfaces.
In a review published on Inc.'s 2026 Power Partner list, Priceline described the collaboration: “What made the engagement work, though, was how genuinely two-way it was. They pushed us hard on our own assumptions about what Penny should be, and they took our pushback just as well. Nothing came over the wall as a finished reveal to be approved or rejected.”
Fantasy's designers and engineers build together from the start, so clients get working products early, and Fantasy hands over a design system so clients' teams can keep building on brand after the project ends.
Inc. also featured Fantasy in “Got a Million-Dollar Idea but Can't Build It Yourself? Call These Companies,” a story by Emily McCrary-Ruiz-Esparza on this year's Power Partners that includes Fantasy's work for Amper and Art Basel.
