Q4 2026 edition
558 of 1,576 advertising companies ranked on evidence held on 12 October 2026: client reviews, vetting, awards and facts each business states on its own website, which we read and date. Nobody pays to be placed.
Positions are fixed for the quarter; the next edition is due in January 2027.
The SME ranking on this page lists 1,585 small and medium-sized firms, and 330 of them earned a rank number. Three businesses known to be large are left out. The SME order does not reward age, so newer agencies compete on evidence alone. See the SME ranking
