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.

This week, we’ve taken a look at the best-rated agencies for media planning and buying with fewer than 50 employees on our register. Feedback from clients show that, for smaller companies, agencies in London and the south, the West Midlands and the north west of England came the most heavily recommendations.
