Agencies finished last year with improved revenues and are racing to scoop up new business as marketers begin to shop again. This year, as Direct Marketing News interviewed executives at dozens of the leading firms, the message we heard over and over again was "revenues are back."

Data resides at the heart of all direct marketing agencies, but those that grew up in marketing services excel at it. These firms offer services ranging from database management and CRM programs to predictive modeling, and many are adding creative and social media services to their suite of capabilities.
The inaugural Standings, which rank firms by revenues, were open to companies that operate across the direct marketing spectrum, from digital to direct mail.
