Editorial referenceAbout the 2026 ranking.
Agencies are ranked by nomination points earned within the 2026 cycle: 2500 points per Site of the Month selection, 500 per Annual Winner, and 100 per nomination. Ties are broken by SOTM count, then winners, then nominee volume.
The leaderboard recalculates continuously as nominations, winners, and Site of the Month selections roll through editorial review. The page reflects all judged work published as of July 2026.
471 agencies currently appear on the 2026 ranking, accounting for 15 nominated projects, 14 award winners, and 3 Site of the Month selections.
No. There is no paid placement on the ranking — every studio listed has work nominated by an independent jury. The order reflects recognized work, not advertising spend.
Yes. Submit a project for an award nomination — once a nominee is judged into the 2026 cycle, your agency is added to the leaderboard automatically. Studios can also publish a profile through the agency listing flow.
