The Most Admired List

Every year, we conduct the leading and largest survey of UK agency owners, known as BenchPress. From this, we gain valuable insights into how people across the country run their agencies. We then deliver the results at the live launch alongside creating downloadable reports. 

Within the survey, we asked which agencies people most admired and why. This list celebrates the top 25 agencies that other industry leaders have recognised for their purpose, culture, community, ambition, and creativity.

If you run a £1m+ agency, you'll also be able to catch agencies from the Most Admired list live at our exclusive BenchPress launch event in March 2024. Let us know if you'd like early access to tickets. 

Take a look at the full list below.
