Agencies were also ranked for client satisfaction, using the Recommended Agency Register's system of client ratings. Performing best in this ranking was The Gate Worldwide, while DDB UK was ranked top for both peer recommendation and creative performance.

Appearing in the top 20 of each of the tables, and achieving the highest average rank across all, is Wieden+Kennedy, earning it the title of number one elite agency in the Census.

Rory Sutherland, vice-chairman at Ogilvy & Mather, takes the number one spot in this year’s Adverati, a list of the top 100 most influential people in advertising. Starting his career with a graduate traineeship at Ogilvy & Mather in the 1980s, Sutherland has risen through the ranks to become the group’s UK vice-chairman, and OgilvyOne London’s executive creative director, earning a reputation along the way for being one of the industry’s most outspoken and original thinkers, and one of its most influential speakers.

He most recently co-founded the company’s behavioural sciences practice #OgilvyChange alongside director of strategy integration Jez Groom.

Camilla Harrisson of Anomaly London ranks second in the Adverati. With 20 years' experience in the industry, Harrisson has held roles at WCRS, Wieden+Kennedy, Leo Burnett and M&C Saatchi. She joined Anomaly as chief executive this month.

Grey London chief executive Chris Hirst, Trevor Robinson, founder and executive creative director of Quiet Storm, and AMV BBDO chairman and group chief executive Cilla Snowball, comprise the top five alongside Sutherland and Harrisson.
