Updated March 2021: Top 50+ New York Ad Agencies
When looking for an agency fueled by inspiration and talent across all disciplines, there’s no better place than New York. The city houses some of the world’s most talented, award-winning agencies. Their specializations include UX design, branding, web design and development, digital, social media, PR, and more. Our team has hand-selected the top New York ad agencies creating for the world’s largest, most prominent brands.
There are more than 1200 advertising agencies in NYC. Plus, as the business capital of the US, companies seeking success must be able to balance the city’s warp-speed progress while competing creatively in marketing.
Even as location becomes less important in ever-increasingly digital business relationships, sometimes you want to find a partner in your own backyard. Especially when targeting regional consumers, a local agency already understands the ins-and-outs of your town. No need to explain what makes these people tick. This city of creatives provides ample opportunity to create compelling advertising stories. Nowhere else can you execute a strategy faster (hello, city that never sleeps…) and with more passionate people.
This list details 50+ New York ad agencies with a client media spend of at least $100M and a minimum of 50 employees.
