Agency Spotter has just released our January 2018 Top Advertising Agencies Report. The report features 20 exceptional ad agencies out of a pool of more than 2,300, and is ranked based on credentials, focus and expertise in advertising, verified client feedback, and project work.
Cleveland-based agency Brokaw occupies the number one spot this January. Their exceptional work for brands like Sbarro, vitaminwater, GE, and Hilton, which are – along with others – showcased on their Agency Spotter portfolio, helped them achieve their high rank.
Brokaw’s win is evidence of a growing trend: marketing in the Midwest. Co-owner Tim Brokaw lightheartedly states Cleveland is at “the center of the [advertising] universe,” and references AdAge in saying, “move over 72andSunny… here comes 26andOvercast.”
Here’s the top ten:
