About
What this publication is
An awards body for digital agencies, rated on what clients actually pay for: results, craft and people who stay. Founded in 2021, and the annual list stays short on purpose.
Founding and continuity
Former agency operators set this up in 2021. They had seen enough pay-to-play trophies. The 2022 cycle was the launch year, with a short winner set. The archives from 2023 to 2025 show the programme growing into sector-specific agency categories.
Published by the Digital Agency Award editorial team. Our editors pick every honoree from public information and give each one a written note. The full list of criteria sits on the methodology page.
Who this is for
Anyone hiring an agency who wants more than a sales deck: procurement teams, journalists, researchers and individual buyers. The notes are written to be quoted, checked and argued with.
Geographic scope and contact
We cover the United States and Asia. The editorial office is in San Francisco, United States. Email [email protected].
A category can be empty. No winner pays a fee for inclusion.
