About us

Agency by Agency was created by people from the sector, for the sector… and for anyone who needs to understand it. Working together with our data partners we have built an agency directory that is comprehensive and independently verifiable rather than a self-selected directory or paid listing service.

What we do

We have mapped over 25,000 UK marketing, advertising, creative and media agencies across 29 specialisms, and this dataset underpins the Agency by Agency Atlas, the most detailed report on the UK agency sector that is publicly available.

How we do it

Agency by Agency is independent. We do not take success fees and we do not sell listings. Our commercial model is built on the value of our mapping, insight and intelligence, not on who pays to be included, meaning brands, acquirers, investors, media owners and B2B suppliers can find the right agency for their needs.

Why it matters

And in a time when the UK’s Industrial Strategy has identified the Creative Industries, including the agency sector, as one of eight priority growth sectors, our mapping also has direct relevance for policy makers, combined authorities and sector bodies seeking to understand, invest in and develop the creative economy.
