Top 39 Digital Marketing Agencies in the World: 2026 Edition

Accenture Song is the marketing and customer-experience unit of Accenture, combining creative, media, commerce and service design with its parent's technology and consulting work. Accenture does not report Song's revenue separately. Digiday, in January 2026, reported that Song generated roughly US$20 billion in fiscal 2025, an 8% increase on the prior year, and compared it with WPP's £14.7 billion and Publicis Groupe's €16.03 billion of 2024 revenue, while noting that the comparison is imperfect. The figure is a press report, not an audited segment, which is why it is labelled as such in this ranking. Digiday described the unit as having moved upstream of advertising, selling business transformation and customer experience to chief executives as well as marketing to chief marketing officers.

BlueFocus is a China-based marketing communications and technology company whose 2025 results release was datelined Beijing. It reported revenue of US$10.07 billion and net profit of US$32.984 million for 2025. The revenue line is dominated by cross-border media buying for Chinese brands advertising abroad, which accounted for US$8.282 billion, or 82.25% of the total. That pass-through business makes BlueFocus's revenue look larger than its agency fee income. The group reported AI-driven revenue of US$546.05 million, up 210.42% and equal to 5.42% of revenue, and said it had a core team of nearly 500 AI specialists. Its activities span international outbound marketing, full-service campaigns and AI-based marketing platforms.

S4 Capital, listed on the London Stock Exchange, trades as Monks. For 2025 it reported revenue of £754.8 million, down 11.0% from £848.2 million, and net revenue of £673.0 million, down 10.8% reported and 8.4% like-for-like. Marketing Services contributed £614.0 million of net revenue and Technology Services £59.0 million, the latter down 31.9%. Headcount at the end of 2025 was 6,345, down 11.5% from 7,166, across 33 countries. After the year end the group bought back €25.7 million of its €375 million Term Loan B at a discount, leaving €349.3 million due in August 2028, and proposed a final dividend of 1.1p per share. Monks also appears, ranked on different criteria, in this site's shorter list of top digital marketing agencies.

Next 15 Group is listed on London's AIM market. For the year ended 31 January 2026 it reported statutory revenue of £617.3 million, down 3.4%, and net revenue of £448.8 million, a like-for-like decline of 4.3%. The year was one of restructuring: the portfolio was cut from 22 businesses to 11, headcount fell from 3,992 to 3,350, and the Mach49 venture business was wound down and reported as discontinued, with an arbitration still under way. The group's growth businesses, which it calls Track 1 (SMG, Transform, Savanta, Pretzl, M Booth and M Booth Health), grew revenue 4% like-for-like, led by digital transformation and retail media. Statutory results showed a £13.4 million loss before tax, mainly from Mach49 costs and impairments.

LocaliQ is the digital marketing business of USA TODAY Co., the publisher formerly called Gannett. In November 2025 the company renamed its Digital Marketing Solutions segment LocaliQ. The segment reported revenue of US$448.3 million for 2025, down from US$477.8 million in 2024, against total company revenue of US$2,302.2 million. The average number of customers on the LocaliQ core platform was 13,300 in 2025, down from 14,300. LocaliQ differs from the other agencies in this list in that its customers are local businesses, counted in thousands on a common platform, rather than a few hundred large brands.

Making Science is a Madrid-based digital marketing and technology group founded in 2016 and listed on BME Growth and Euronext. Its 2025 results showed gross revenue of €373.5 million, up 36.3%, and gross margin of €74.8 million, up 5.0%; international revenue of €216 million overtook Spain's €147 million. The gap between revenue and margin comes from reselling Google advertising, which the company has done in the United States since January 2024 and now also in the United Kingdom; it is one of Google's 15 Full Stack Sales Partners. In December 2025 it completed the sale of its Spanish cloud and cybersecurity business to Lutech for a maximum enterprise value of €26 million; the 2025 figures include that business for the full year.

Septeni Holdings is a Japanese digital marketing group reporting under IFRS. Revenue for 2025 was ¥30,309 million, up from ¥28,284 million in 2024, and profit before tax was ¥4,718 million. Its segments are Marketing Communication, Direct Business and Data & Solutions; the group had 1,674 regular employees at 31 December 2025, 1,104 of them in Marketing Communication. Dentsu Group is the largest shareholder with 52.48% of shares, following capital alliances in 2018 and 2021 and a memorandum signed on 25 November 2025 that lets Dentsu propose a director and an auditor. Septeni also holds 25% of Dentsu Digital, which is listed separately below.

Digital Holdings is a Japanese digital marketing group that was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under code 2389. For the year ended 31 December 2025 it reported revenue of ¥13,102 million, down 18.9% from ¥16,155 million, and operating profit of ¥803 million. Profit attributable to owners rose 35.5% to ¥1,817 million and ordinary profit almost doubled to ¥3,402 million, helped by items outside operating profit. In 2025 Hakuhodo DY Holdings completed a tender offer for the company's shares; Digital Holdings paid no year-end dividend for 2025 as a result, and its shares were scheduled to be delisted on 19 March 2026 after a share consolidation. It therefore joins Hakuhodo DY ONE, also listed here, inside the Hakuhodo DY group.

Syzygy AG is a digital agency group based in Bad Homburg, Germany, founded in 1995 and listed in the Prime Standard since 2000; its roughly 500 specialists work for brands such as Audi, BMW, Porsche and PayPal. Preliminary figures published on 3 February 2026 showed 2025 revenue of €57 million, down 18%, and an operating loss before goodwill write-downs of €1.2 million. Germany produced €46.1 million, 80% of the total; the UK and US segment €5.1 million; and Poland €6.4 million. The group wrote down €4.7 million of goodwill, repaid its bank debt and reported net income of about −€5.7 million. It guided to revenue of about €50 million for 2026 with an EBIT margin of 3% to 4%.

VML was created by WPP's merger of Wunderman Thompson and VMLY&R. The deal was announced on 18 October 2023, when coverage put the combined agency at more than 30,000 people in 64 markets, and VML became operational on 1 January 2024 with Jon Cook as global chief executive and Mel Edwards as global president. The headcount is the figure stated at formation and has not been updated in a source opened for this edition, so it should be read as a 2023 number. In February 2026 WPP announced a move from a holding-company structure to a single company, placing its agency brands across creative, PR and design under a unified WPP Creative operating model. The new agency took over the client rosters of both predecessors.

Publicis Sapient began as Sapient, a digital consulting firm founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1990, and is now "a Publicis Groupe company". It states about 20,000 people in 72 offices, with teams in more than 26 countries. Its work leans further toward technology than most entries: its capabilities span strategy, product, experience, engineering and data, and it markets three AI platforms, Sapient Slingshot for software modernisation, Sapient Bodhi for AI agents and workflows, and Sapient Sustain for IT operations. It is included because commerce, customer-experience and data platforms are the foundation of much digital marketing, though it sells less media and campaign work than most entries.

Merkle describes itself as a dentsu company and states more than 16,000 employees across more than 80 locations. It has been in business since 1988. Its offer is organised in five areas: consulting and business operations; experience and product innovation; engagement and loyalty; platforms and engineering; and analytics and insights. Named products include the Merkury identity platform, the LoyaltyPlus loyalty software and Merkle Arc. Its products concentrate on identity, loyalty and analytics, the work of marketing to known customers rather than mass audiences.

Performics is a performance marketing network. Its website states 15,000+ "performance experts" and offers country sites for 30 countries across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific, plus a Latin America regional site. The site does not say how the 15,000 figure is counted or name a parent company, so the number may cover specialists shared with a wider network rather than Performics staff alone. The agency positions itself entirely around performance marketing, in which campaigns are judged on measurable results such as sales or leads. Because the headcount is presented as a capability claim rather than an employee count, its rank in this list is less certain than that of agencies that state employees directly.

Cheil Worldwide is a marketing company whose website states more than 8,000 "Cheilers" working from 56 offices in 48 regions, with nine subsidiaries. Cheil's revenue figure could not be retrieved from a page opened for this edition, so it is ranked here by headcount under the list's rules. Its reach extends to affiliated agencies; Social Beat, an Indian performance agency of 300+ staff, lists a Cheil Gurugram office on its site. Cheil is not ranked in this site's list of the largest advertising agencies, which covers holding companies with verified 2025 revenue.

Epsilon states that it is a global company with over 8,000 employees and more than 40 offices, and that it joined Publicis Groupe in 2019, where it sits "at the core" of the group. Its business is data and technology-led marketing: the PeopleCloud platform, consumer marketing data, a data clean room, a customer data platform, a loyalty platform, retail media, website personalisation and digital media, together with strategic services. Epsilon is the identity layer behind much of Publicis Groupe's targeting and measurement, and it also sells directly to brands. Its scale in data makes it closer to a marketing-technology company than a creative agency, which is why it is often compared with Acxiom (Omnicom) and Merkle (dentsu).

iProspect states more than 8,000 experts working from 126 office locations in 93 countries, a wider footprint than any other agency in this list. Its specialities are paid search, paid social, programmatic and cross-channel strategy, and it describes services in dynamic creative optimisation, full-funnel experience design, real-time measurement and unified media strategy. The site links to dentsu's corporate site and careers portal but does not describe the ownership relationship on the page opened for this edition. iProspect sits at the boundary between a media agency and a digital marketing agency; it is included because it positions itself around performance channels and outcomes rather than traditional media planning.

EY launched EY Studio+ on 3 June 2025 as a global offering that combines 37 specialist acquisitions with businesses EY had grown itself; it is led by Laurence Buchanan as global leader. Its three areas are customer experience; product and service innovation; and marketing, sales and service transformation, drawing on EY's sector teams and EY.ai. When EY extended Studio+ to the Middle East and North Africa in January 2026, it said the regional team of more than 200 specialists had access to a global network of more than 7,000 professionals. Like Accenture Song, it sells marketing as part of wider transformation programmes, usually to clients that already use the parent firm.

DEPT traces its history to TamTam, founded in the Netherlands in 1996, which merged with other agencies in 2016 to form DEPT. Its timeline records a 2015 deal with Waterland and backing from The Carlyle Group since January 2020. The company states more than 4,000 specialists in more than 30 offices, drawn from over 85 nationalities, and US$5 billion of media under management. Services are grouped into brand and media, commerce, customer experience, and tech and data, with AI transformation work and an orchestration layer called Deptify. DEPT is one of the largest privately owned digital agencies and also appears in this site's shorter list of top digital marketing agencies.

diva-e describes a Europe-wide network of more than 4,000 digital experts formed through its partnership with Conclusion, trading as diva-e Conclusion. The headcount therefore covers the combined network rather than diva-e alone. Its services run from digital consulting and AI through digital experience platforms (e-commerce, content management, customer data, product information and CRM systems) to digital marketing, which includes SEO, content, paid advertising and omnichannel marketing, and application management and cloud security. The mix makes diva-e as much a systems integrator as an agency.

Hakuhodo DY ONE was established on 1 April 2024 by merging Digital Advertising Consortium (DAC), founded in December 1996, with IREP, which began in November 1997 as Aspire and took the IREP name in 2000. It had 3,290 employees on 1 April 2026 and is headquartered in the Akasaka Biz Tower in Minato, Tokyo. The company calls itself the "digital core" of the Hakuhodo DY Group, pooling the group's digital knowledge and resources. Its parent group widened its digital base further in 2025 with the tender offer for Digital Holdings, also listed here. It is one of the two largest digital specialists in Japan by headcount in this list, alongside Dentsu Digital.

Assembly states more than 3,000 staff, which it calls builders, in more than 25 major market offices; its location list covers 31 cities. The agency's site links to Stagwell Search+ and positions Assembly within the Stagwell network. Its main tool is STAGE, which it describes as an AI-enabled experience engine, used for brand performance planning across paid social, digital strategy and user-experience work. Assembly is the largest agency in Stagwell's network by stated headcount among those reviewed for this edition; Code and Theory, another Stagwell digital agency, could not be measured from a page opened for this review.

Dentsu Digital was established on 1 July 2016 and is owned 75% by Dentsu Group and 25% by Septeni Holdings. It had 2,596 employees at the end of December 2025, with offices in the Dentsu headquarters building in Shiodome, Tokyo, and in Osaka. The joint ownership reflects the capital alliance in which Dentsu Group became Septeni's majority shareholder. It is a separate company from dentsu's international digital brands such as Merkle. It does not publish its own revenue.

Artefact describes itself as a data and AI consultancy and states 2,500 people. Its own breakdown lists more than 1,050 AI and data consultants, 450 data scientists, 400 AI and data marketing specialists, 350 engineers and 250 data analysts. It says it works with more than 1,000 clients, among them 300 international brands, and its leadership pages cover France, Switzerland, the US, Brazil, Germany, the UK, Spain, Morocco and the Benelux. Its offer covers strategy and transformation, AI and data for customers and operations, and AI and IT technologies. Marketing is one practice among several, which is why its 400-strong marketing team is smaller than its total headcount suggests.

Flywheel states more than 2,000 employees working in 11 offices across more than 20 countries. It specialises in digital commerce: commerce strategy and execution, managed retail media, retail operations, content and creative, and consulting, supported by a Commerce Cloud of retail media, retail operations and market intelligence products. The site's investor link points to Omnicom Group's investor relations, reflecting its place in that group. Its focus on commerce puts it in direct competition with Tinuiti, which also lists retail media among its main services.

Jellyfish states more than 1,600 people in 30 offices across 22 countries and describes itself as "proud to be part of The Brandtech Group". Brandtech, headquartered in New York and founded in June 2015 by David Jones, lists 11 group companies including Oliver, Pencil, fifty-five, DP6 and Mobkoi. Jellyfish works across media, creative, content, data and technology and emphasises AI-assisted approaches. It also appears in this site's shorter list of top digital marketing agencies, ranked there on different criteria.

Labelium's web address now redirects to Cosmo5, whose site states 1,300 experts in 30 offices across 18 countries. It lists five core capabilities, media, commerce, creative, data and technology, and five transformation areas covering marketing, business, sustainability, operations and organisation. Offices named on the site include 14 in Europe, among them London, Paris and Berlin, plus Bogotá, Chicago, Singapore and Tokyo. The site does not describe its ownership or the history of the change of name, so the relationship between the Labelium and Cosmo5 brands is stated here only as the redirect and the site's "Part of Cosmo5" label.

We Are Social is an agency built around social media. Its site states 1,200 people spanning four continents and offers market sites for the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, the UAE and the US. The site's footer links to Plus Company but does not describe the relationship, and it gives no founding year. It is one of the few agencies of this size whose business is organised around social platforms rather than search or commerce.

Brainlabs was founded in 2012 by Dan Gilbert, who left Google to start it, and states more than 1,000 staff in hubs on five continents. It is management-owned and backed by private equity: Livingbridge invested in 2019 and supported eight acquisitions over four years, and Falfurrias Capital Partners invested in 2023. Services cover AI visibility, SEO, paid search, paid social, programmatic and connected TV, influencer marketing, digital partnerships, performance creative, data, retail media, site experience and Google Marketing Platform. Brainlabs also appears, with a fuller profile, in this site's shorter list of top digital marketing agencies.

NP Digital was founded in 2017 by Neil Patel and Mike Kamo and states more than 1,000 employees in 28 countries. Its site lists country teams across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America, and gives an address in Las Vegas, Nevada. Services are grouped into data and analytics, earned media, paid media and creative; the company also runs the Ubersuggest and AnswerThePublic search tools, which feed its SEO work and act as a source of leads. The agency appears in this site's shorter list of top digital marketing agencies as well.

PMG states more than 1,000 team members across 13 global hub offices: Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, Atlanta, New York, Boston and Cleveland in the US, London and Brighton in the UK, Düsseldorf, San José in Costa Rica, Toronto and Mexico City. George Popstefanov is listed as founder and chief executive. PMG offers integrated marketing and media, including media agency-of-record work, creative production, content and studio work and commerce, run on its own operating system for data, strategy and execution, called Alli. Most of its hubs are in the United States.

Schbang is an India-based agency that describes itself as a team of more than 1,000 specialists and says it has been operating for 11 years. Its offer spans brand solutions, technology solutions that align processes and tools with customer experience, media solutions for audience-targeted ad placement, and research, data and analytics. It also runs film and photography production through Schbang Motion Pictures, Global Content Hub and Schbang 808. It is the only agency based in India in this edition.

Tinuiti was founded in 2004 as Elite SEM in New York City and states more than 1,000 employee owners and US$4 billion of digital media under management. It partnered with Mountaingate Capital in 2017 and New Mountain Capital in 2021, and it acquired Bliss Point Media, a Santa Monica connected-TV specialist. Services cover Amazon and retail media, streaming and linear TV, audio, display and out-of-home, search including AI SEO and shoppable media, Meta and TikTok social, and affiliate, creative, conversion-rate optimisation, e-mail and influencer marketing. Tinuiti also appears in this site's shorter list of top digital marketing agencies.

Adways was founded in Osaka on 28 February 2001 and moved its headquarters to Tokyo in 2004; it is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market under code 2489. The group had 992 employees at the end of December 2025, a figure that includes temporary staff. Its company profile reports consolidated gross billings, rather than revenue, of more than ¥50 billion in every fiscal year since the one ending December 2021. Because gross billings are not revenue, Adways is ranked here on headcount.

WebFX was founded in 1996 and states 750 experts on staff. Its services cover AI search and SEO, including local SEO and AI-visibility tracking; digital advertising, including PPC, paid social and programmatic; content marketing, copywriting and social media management; revenue marketing, conversion-rate optimisation, call tracking, attribution and marketing automation; and web design, development and marketplace marketing for Amazon and Walmart. The company has been recognised as a best place to work in Pennsylvania. Its breadth of services, from search to web development, is typical of agencies serving companies without large in-house marketing teams.

D2C is a Japanese data marketing company established on 1 June 2000. It had 716 employees including consolidated subsidiaries at the end of March 2026. On 16 January 2026 it announced that it had become a wholly owned subsidiary of CARTA HOLDINGS, and in June 2026 it announced a business integration policy with CARTA ZERO. CARTA HOLDINGS is owned 51.61% by NTT DOCOMO and 48.39% by Dentsu Group. D2C's services include docomo data and marketing products, a marketing agency business and a marketing and creative unit called CX CRAFTS, which gives it access to mobile-carrier data that most agencies in this list do not have.

Croud was founded in 2011 by Luke Smith, an ex-Googler who is co-founder and chief executive, and Ben Knight, a former head of search. It states about 600 in-house digital experts plus an on-demand network of 2,900 marketing specialists, working from five offices in London, Shrewsbury, New York, Atlanta and Dubai. Croud describes itself as an independent global media, creative and data agency and received investment from ECI Partners in 2024. The freelance network lets it staff local-language work without local offices. Croud also appears in this site's shorter list of top digital marketing agencies.

Ignite Visibility was founded in 2013 by John Lincoln and Krishnan Coughran and is headquartered in San Diego, with offices in Irvine, New York and Orlando and a remote-first team. It states more than 600 staff, whom it calls Igniters, and partnered with Mountaingate Capital in February 2023. The agency focuses on enterprise, franchise and multi-location clients, with services such as review and reputation tools, pay-per-call and pay-per-lead programmes for home services, 24-hour lead response and closed-loop revenue attribution. It also appears in this site's shorter list of top digital marketing agencies.

Enero Group is an Australian-listed marketing group that states a global team of about 500 people in 16 cities and more than 300 clients. Its brands are Hotwire, a technology PR and marketing consultancy; ROI·DNA, a B2B digital marketing agency; Orchard, a connected-experience agency; OBMedia, a customer-acquisition platform; and BMF, a creative agency. The site carries a headline announcing the sale of OBMedia to focus the portfolio. For the year to 30 June 2026 Enero reported 9% EBITDA growth and 54% net profit growth, with net revenue up 11% at BMF and 9% at Orchard. No group revenue figure appeared on the pages opened, so Enero is ranked on headcount.

Converteo is a consultancy working on data, AI and marketing that states more than 450 consultants and experts "dedicated to transforming organizations through Data, AI, and Agentics". Its English-language site gives an office address in New York. The firm sits between the marketing agencies and the data consultancies in this list: like Artefact it is staffed mainly by consultants rather than media buyers or creatives, and it is engaged to set up analytics, customer data, marketing measurement and AI use cases rather than to run campaigns. It is the smallest agency in this edition by stated headcount and is included because it clears the 400-person threshold.
