The Drum Top 100 Independent Agencies 2019
The Top 100 celebrates the best-run independent agencies in the UK in 2019. It is powered by The Drum's Independent Agencies Census, the most comprehensive study of its kind into the performance of UK marcomms firms. Agencies earn their place in the Top 100 based on their performance across six financial metrics – turnover, turnover growth, turnover percentage growth, turnover per head, gross profit and gross profit growth – and two years' worth of financial data is analysed to determine their ranking. Some agencies achieved the same scores and have therefore been jointly ranked. All data presented here was correct at the time of collection.

The digital report includes detailed financial rankings, like-for-like comparisons by headcount and region and client satisfaction scores.
