Golin London has been named among the world’s best and bravest agencies, one of 11 agencies from around the world have been named the 2025 Contagious Pioneers.

The Contagious Pioneers is an annual global ranking of the agencies that have consistently set the standard for creativity, innovation and excellence in marketing.

In Contagious’ words, these agencies can rightfully call themselves ‘the best and bravest’ on the planet because they have relentlessly pushed creative boundaries and set new benchmarks for the industry.

Unlike other industry awards, you can’t officially enter your agency for consideration, with the Contagious Pioneers ranking based on outstanding creative thinking and strategic excellence in work.

Golin Chief Creative Officer George Bryant said, “As a creative agency we hold ourselves to the highest standards and for us, this award is the highest standard. We strive to create work with bravery and joy for our clients and are thrilled that Contagious recognises our impact.”

Contagious Editor Chloe Markowicz said, ‘We’re unabashedly picky about the work that we deem good enough … becoming a Pioneer is proof that an agency didn’t just get lucky with a great client or dream brief, they consistently put the work in, delivering future-facing marketing that gets noticed, and is, well, contagious.

“These agencies weren’t recklessly bold but instead demonstrated an exceptional ability to take calculated creative risks that translated into real business results.”

The 11 agencies come from eight different countries, indicating that the ranking is truly agnostic of geography or category, and is instead based on the quality of the work.
