Ovative Named Adweek Fastest Growing Agency

Ovative ranked number 49 of 75 National Agencies and 8 for Midwest Agencies. See the full list from Adweek here.

After weathering the pandemic-induced economic crisis of 2020, agencies experienced a new year that saw many shops returning and surpassing their pre-pandemic revenues in 2021. But a new threat looms in 2022: Inflation and a potential recession are driving brands to cut marketing spend—even when most experts recommend increasing ad spend during economic downturns. As budget cuts trickle down to agencies, they get a smaller piece of the pie (if they even get a piece at all), which can potentially initiate layoffs. This year’s Fastest Growing Agencies are in a unique position to use their rapidly scaling businesses to come out of economic turbulence with their staffs intact and ready to pick off business from agencies that are struggling to get by. —Jameson Fleming
