About The Drum Recommends
The Drum Recommends is a service designed to provide brands and clients with unbiased ratings for agency work and services.
The Drum Recommends has a mission to become the ‘go-to’ place for any brand looking to work with an agency across the world. Using a unique performance-based rating system, the platform simplifies the selection choosing process for brands – from shortlisting to pitch management. However, despite agencies’ services having been rated over 60 000 times by marketers, the total number of agencies on the platform remains very limited.
Behind the platform is the powerful brand name of the famous industry magazine.
