It’s good news for Stein, Lesniak Swann, Fight or Flight, Code and Theory, and plenty more.

After revealing a bumper list of the top 50 agencies across all categories from The Drum’s global 2025 Awards program, we’re taking a deep dive into the data in particular sectors as The Drum Honors 2025 progresses.

Today, B2B. And as the boundaries between marketing’s ‘traditional’ silos erode, it’s not just pure B2B agencies that were honored by judges in B2B categories this year – though there are plenty of those, too.

Coming in top: Stein, thanks to a number of winning campaigns across categories, including gold Award-winning sustainability work for Elmini, and gongs for work with Mack Trucks and Juniper Networks.

Stein nudges out a trio of B2B powerhouses in the silver spot: Lesniak Swann (which won gold awards for three different campaigns, for KBR, Promat and Axair), Fight or Flight (which took home the President’s Award at this year’s The Drum Awards for B2B the Hi Vis Stress Vest for St John Ambulance) and Code and Theory (garnering golds for work with Qualcomm and Amazon Ads).

You can check out the full top 10 below – and stay tuned for rankings of the top advertisers, campaigns and individuals in our B2B awards program.
