About the Magic Quadrant

Gartner, the world’s leading research authority, includes client testimonials in its assessment criteria. Leaders possess deep, broad capabilities across all marketing competencies, most notably related to strategic services for marketing teams (which include business strategy and digital business transformation skills). Leaders also implement comprehensive, effective solutions at global scale. Leaders are the providers to watch in the ongoing evolution and transformation of marketing in a digital world. The market for global marketing agencies is highly mature. Most agencies profiled in this Magic Quadrant have been in business for decades and possess robust staffing and technology depth across marketing disciplines, along with a breadth of enterprise clients across industries. Therefore, it should not be surprising to see the Leaders quadrant particularly crowded. However, marketers should note that, even among Leaders, there is significant differentiation in relevant experience, cultural fit and approach to solving global marketing challenges.
