Best Digital Agency 2014
Winner: Huge
Campaign Name: Huge in 2013: Defining the Future Agency Model
As some of the world’s largest companies shifted their strategies in 2013 to integrate marketing operations with technology, Huge lived up to its name as the agency helped some of the biggest brand marketers embrace digital tech.
In the past 12 months, the agency has partnered with 111 major brands on 500 digital business, marketing, and technology projects.
New business was signed at a rate of more than one major new account each week, including work with 15 of the world’s largest enterprises for the first time. Revenue grew exponentially, up by about 40% to $120 million in the US.
The majority of this revenue – 40% – is organic and comes from the company’s nine offices in New York, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Rio, and the recently opened Barcelona outpost.
In 2013, the firm hired about 200 new staffers, bringing its global employee base to 725.
Huge has also continued to invest in a collection of new disciplines. Business consulting, planning, research and analytics, studio and content production, integrated marketing, social media management, and sitecore and CQ development all became a core part of its service offering.
Huge Labs, which is the firm’s own incubator, continued to evolve in 2013 into the marketplace’s first home for enterprise marketing-oriented software startups, including Honey and Togather.
With an eye on further growth, Huge has also continued to invest in training and education programs for its employees, clients, and the next generation of talent.
