The Drum Recommends is a free service designed by The Drum to help marketers find relevant, trusted agencies. Recommendations are based on reviews by the people best placed to judge their expertise – their clients.

Every year, The Drum Recommends receives thousands of ratings from advertisers. Marketers complete a survey that scores their agency’s performance and the quality and range of their services, as well as price. In order to become recommended for a service, agencies must receive a minimum of three client ratings.

This week, our team has been discussing the present state and future of media at Media Summit, so we’ve decided to examine which media agencies operating right now in the UK come officially recommended by clients. Below, you’ll find all 16, plus their staff headcount and office locations.
