BRC Named to The Drum’s Indie Agency 100, and Under the Top 40

BRC Imagination Arts has been named to The Drum’s Indie 100 for 2026, ranking 38th among the world’s leading independent agencies.

The Indie Agency 100 is The Drum’s annual global ranking of independent agencies, built from three measures: standing in The Drum’s World Creative Rankings, results at The Drum Awards, and verified client ratings through The Drum Recommends. The Drum defines an independent agency as one not owned, in whole or in part, by a major advertising or marketing holding company. For a studio our size, internationally standing shoulder to shoulder with agencies many times our headcount is a moment to feel good about, and we do.

The list runs from Toronto and New York to Riyadh, Manila and Sydney, and is made up largely of advertising, PR and media agencies. BRC is the only company on it whose work is permanent visitor experiences: brand homes, museums, expo pavilions and cultural destinations.

The ranking follows a strong 2025. BRC’s immersive experience for the Savannah College of Art and Design, SCADstory Atlanta, took the President’s Award at The Drum Awards for Experiential, and BRC finished joint top of The Drum Honors 2025 ranking of experiential agencies.

BRC has been independent for more than four decades. That independence has always meant the same thing in practice: no agenda beyond creative integrity and the success of the work.

To everyone at BRC who has poured craft, care and heart into the work that got us here, and to the clients who have trusted us with their stories: this belongs to you.
