Covering both specialist shops and other agencies involved in the social game, we rank the year’s top performers.
Edelman's campaign for Ampara helped make it joint-top in social for The Drum Honors 2025 (Edelman/Ampara)
For The Drum Honors 2025, we’re celebrating the best-performing agencies, brands, campaigns and people from a whole year of our global Awards campaign.
Today, we turn to social agencies. Sharing the top spot are two agencies that tell the story of the whole list: a mix of dedicated social shops and bigger agencies doing laudable work in the social space.
One of our co-winners: comms shop Edelman, thanks to award-winning work for Dove (‘Hot Seats’ and ‘Share the First’) and Ampara (‘Burn this Profile’).
