Why This Matters
You're not entering an award. You're entering the dataset buyers already trust.
Get found before the pitch — Show up on buyer shortlists built from real win/retention data, not self-nominated "best of" lists.
Borrow third-party proof — Point new-business prospects at an independent ranking instead of your own pitch deck.
Your clients stay private, always — the Scoreboard measures your agency's activity. Client names are never published, full stop.
Get a link you didn't have to write yourself — Ranked agencies get a standalone feature article to use in outreach and pitch decks — third-party proof, not a self-published claim.

Who We've Worked With
What is this?A quarterly, data-driven ranking of Canadian Advertising and Marketing agencies based on verified account wins, retention, and project work — part of the Agency Scoreboard, tracking Canadian agency performance since 2010.
How are agencies scored?AOR wins, retentions, and project wins are weighted and totaled within your agency's size tier. See "How Agencies Are Scored" above.
Do you publish client names?
No. The Scoreboard tracks agency wins, retentions, and project work — never the client relationship itself. Rankings reflect activity, not disclosed case studies.
Does it cost anything to enter?No. Entry is free — it's how we build the dataset.
