We're a "Top 100" agency

We're proud to announce that we've made it into the top 100 of The Drum’s annual Independent Agencies Census.

We've earned our 76th spot through winning some fantastic clients (some we can talk about, some we can't), growing our UX and strategy offering while creating exciting platforms for some of the UK's best known brands.

Jonathan Smith, Founder & Managing Director at Catch, said; "This is our 3rd time in recent years in a UK Top 100 list, and we couldn't be happier at this recognition for a great team effort. Being in The Drum’s annual census makes it all the more special as we're listed against other independent, owner-managed, agencies which we respect and admire"

The annual Independent Agencies Census is the most comprehensive study of its kind on UK marcomms firms. The Drum crunch two years’ worth of financial figures from agencies across the country to compare their performance on a range of financial metrics including turnover, turnover per head and gross profit.

Cameron Clarke, Deputy Editor at The Drum, said; “The Census is the definitive barometer of agencies' financial performance and it was pleasing to see an increase in agencies participating in our rigorous research process this year".

Head on over to The Drum to see the full list.
