The Drum Recommends is a platform designed to help brands find their next agency partner, as well as supporting agencies by closing the feedback loop with their clients. Brands rate the services they receive, and agencies with enough good ratings achieve recommended status.

The Drum Awards

The Drum Recommends Awards for Marketing and Advertising recognise agencies at the top of their game.

Each year, The Drum collates these ratings to identify the teams and agencies that consistently produce the best work and go the extra mile for their clients. The top-rated agencies are recognised at The Drum Recommends Marketing and Advertising Awards.

Thanks to this rating process, these awards are unique in the industry: there are no reports to compose or forms to fill out. Winners are determined only by the high scores given by their clients.

This year’s winners will be revealed at a virtual ceremony on Wednesday 12 May, at 4 pm BST. You can register here to attend and join us in celebrating the best of 2021’s recommended agencies.

If your agency is not yet a member of The Drum Recommends but deserves to become officially recommended by The Drum, you can sign up here.

Here is the full list of nominees for 2021.
