Brands & Agencies, the UK’s platform connecting marketers with over 6,000 agencies and 17,000 brands, today announces the relaunch of its newly redesigned platform. The revamp marks a significant step forward in building a smarter, more purposeful space where brands and agencies can discover, collaborate, and grow together.
Launched by a team of agency professionals and brand-side marketers, Brands & Agencies was created in response to a common industry challenge: how to find the right partners in a busy, often fragmented market. The redesigned platform reflects direct user feedback and now offers faster search, improved filtering, and enriched profiles — all centred around real work and proven results.
“This relaunch isn’t simply about introducing new features,” said founder Nick Jaspan. “It’s about listening to the industry. Brands told us they needed better ways to cut through the noise. Agencies said they wanted to be recognised for what they truly deliver. So we’ve rebuilt the platform to meet that need — and to support a community of like-minded marketers who want to do great work, together.”
At its core, the new platform is more than just a directory. It’s a space designed to help people find the right collaborators — not just contacts. With case studies, testimonials, and integrated profiles, brands can clearly see what agencies are capable of. In turn, agencies can better present their unique strengths and standout work.
Premium membership enables agencies to enhance their presence by sharing case studies, linking their social channels, including a direct contact form, and being featured across editorial and content channels. This creates more relevant opportunities and deeper visibility — without the need for constant pitching or reliance on referrals alone.
Creating Space for Real Conversation
A key addition in the relaunch is the reimagined News & Insights section — a growing editorial hub designed to foster open, honest discussion across the industry. From campaign reflections and behind-the-scenes learnings to personal insights, ‘confessions’, and agency-side advice, the new content space encourages both brands and agencies to share their experience, offer perspective, and learn from one another.
“We’ve created a space where marketing professionals can not only find one another — but also better understand each other,” said Alexandra Balazs, Managing Director of Brands & Agencies. “It’s a place for genuine insight, creative inspiration, and shared learning. Whether it’s a story of a difficult pitch, a standout project, or a professional turning point — we want those voices to be heard and become part of the wider conversation.”
Powered by publisher, Prolific North and digital agency, Pixelbuilders, Brands & Agencies is already home to thousands of engaged agencies — from global networks to independent studios — all now discoverable on a more level playing field.
