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 marketing clients. Marketers complete a survey that scores their agency’s performance, the quality and range of their services and price. In order to become recommended for a service, agencies must receive a minimum of three client ratings.
