Returning for its third year following a successful debut in 2023, the list shone a spotlight on the North’s most exciting new and growing agencies.
The Independent Agencies to Watch list highlighted some of the incredible independent agencies making an impact — whether through a strong focus on sustainability, rapid growth in revenue, staff, or clients over a year or two, or notable achievements in diversity.
The editorial team at Prolific North, together with trusted and independent observers of the Northern agency sector, conducted research to compile the list.

The results of the research were revealed at an exclusive event in Manchester on 18th September, featuring panel sessions with agency leaders. Speakers shared their experiences of growing successful agencies, the challenges and successes they encountered, and the lessons learned along the way.
The event also explored broader challenges and opportunities within the agency sector, highlighting what makes the North such a vibrant place for creativity.
