Econsultancy Top 100 Agency

We’re proud to announce that we feature in Econsultancy’s Top 100 Digital Agencies Report.

The Econsultancy Top 100 report is an independent overview of the most significant digital agency players in the UK. The report lists the top 100 Digital Marketing, Design and Build, Technical and Creative Agencies ranked based on their total UK fee income from digital marketing.

Quick stats at-a-glance;

  • 23rd in agencies a decade old

  • 53rd in independently owned agencies

  • 57th in "full service and marketing” agencies

  • 98th of all UK digital agencies on the list

Founder and Managing Director Jonathan Smith commented; "All credit to the team for our debut on the Top 100 list. We're significantly punching above our weight as an agency of around 30 people to be featured alongside big consultancies Accenture Interactive, SapientRazorfish and IBM, and large digital shops like DigitasLBi, AKQA and Zone.

We think of ourselves as small but perfectly formed, and Econsultancy bill the list as 'the definitive listing of the UK's largest digital agencies'. With Accenture Interactive in the top spot with £284,660,000 of UK fee income, it's little surprise Catch comes in at #98 overall!

With so much incredible work in the pipeline, multiple DADI nominations, and significant pitch wins recently with Worldpay and Watford FC, I’m looking forwards to the coming year with our fantastic team".

Spain, the next tech-hub?

When you hear Madrid you may think primarily of culture, football, nightlife, but not necessarily the tech industry. But over the past three years much has changed and the tech industry is booming thanks to startups and agile ways of thinking.

Spanish startup funding is up 83% in 2015, according to a report by ASCRI (Spanish Association for Capital, Growth and Investment) and with 78% of that investment going into ICT and digital projects, Madrid is fast becoming the new tech-hub of Europe.

The Spanish economy has been hit hard by the economic downturn but the fast paced, agile thinking of the tech industry has come out stronger than ever and shows a great future ahead of it.

Tech leaders such as Google and Amazon are embracing the potential of Madrid. In 2015 Google opened Google Campus, and summer 2016 saw Amazon opening their tech-hub, one of only 3 in Europe. There are several other impressively backed incubator and startup hubs too.

“Tech talent in Spain is abundant and of high quality, but most importantly it is available.”

Adam Sedó, Amazon Spain

Earlier this year (2016) Catch opened its Madrid offices, expanding its services into the Spanish market and to access the tech talent pool Madrid has to offer.

This is exciting news for Catch and the future growth of Madrid as a cornerstone of the European tech scene. With the recent launch of Catch Studios and opening of our office in Madrid Catch are in a great position to capitalise on the burgeoning tech scene in Madrid.
