Adweek names Ford Media Lab among Top 100 Fastest-Growing Agencies In The World

Ford Media Lab Ranks No. 70 on Adweek 100: Fastest Growing
Company Revenues Grew By More Than 2x Between 2017-2019

New York, NY (Oct. 5, 2020)– Adweek, the leading source of brand marketing news and insights has named Ford Media Lab #70 on its list of fastest-growing marketing agencies in the world.

Fastest Growing honors the top 100 agencies — large and small, from all over the world — whose industry presence is on the rise. Accepting entries from every agency and solution provider category, this distinction is awarded to those organizations that have achieved exceptional growth over the past three years.

FML grew +117% in revenues between 2017-2019 working with multinational clients such as Pernod Ricard, Rémy Cointreau, and Diageo.

“To say that running an ad agency today is tough would be an understatement. Models were already changing, work and clients were moving around rapidly and then, this year, a pandemic and social unrest only added to the challenges brands and agencies face. Even so, agencies and solution providers around the world have proven up to the task and are becoming even more valuable partners to brands, as shops of every stripe continue to deliver results. These are the shops that make up Adweek’s second annual Fastest Growing list. Even in the face of adversity, these quickly growing shops in every category imaginable—from creative to b-to-b, performance to full-service—illustrate why brands rely on their expertise and resourcefulness to ensure success. ” -Doug Zanger, Adweek Senior Editor, Agencies

“We launched Ford Media Lab in 2016 to provide the tailored solution we knew brands desperately needed,” said FML CEO Rachel Ford. “This honor solidifies all that we believed to be true, and is a testament to our unwavering vision, commitment to excellence and dedicated team. We’d like to thank our clients for trusting us to tell their unique brand stories and for believing along with us that everything worth doing is worth doing well.”

“It is quite the hard-fought honor for Ford Media Lab to be included on Adweek’s fastest-growing list,” said Kyle Ford, FML Chief Creative. “Over the last three years, we’ve built our own commercial content studio that’s tailored to meeting our clients’ evolving creative needs. In doing so, we’ve streamlined access to the fresh, relevant, and reactive content that every brand desires.”

“The only constant in advertising is change,” added Lisa Granatstein, Adweek’s Editor, SVP, Programming. “The best way to see where the industry is headed is to see who’s leading the pack, and Adweek 100: Fastest Growing always has a few surprises.”
