The Drum’s Independent Agency Census has returned, revealing vital data on how Britain’s indie agency scene has fared during the pandemic.
The UK remains a global center of excellence for the creative and marketing industry, and despite the challenges of the last two years, global brands continue to flock to work with UK agencies to drive their creative agenda. To highlight the best indie agencies in the country – and to discover the state of the sector – we’ve brought back the Independent Agency Census.
The census is a unique survey of independent agency businesses in Britain, collecting data on financial performance, team size and client satisfaction to provide a definitive picture of the best-run indie agencies in the country.
