Fiat’s orange spot has been lauded for effectiveness / Leo Burnett
Fiat’s slam dunk of an ad has been rated very highly for effectiveness by ad experts System1. But making effective creative isn’t the preserve of huge advertisers like the Italian carmaker. So, if you’re after a smaller agency partner for your business that can deliver creative that delivers, look no further.
We have delved into The Drum Recommends library to find 20 UK agencies rated highly by their own clients for effectiveness.
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. To become recommended for a service, agencies must receive at least three client ratings.
