Open Partners has been named in the Financial Times 1000 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies for the second year running, following a 44.6% compound annual growth rate between 2021 and 2024.
Over that period, revenue grew from £17.8m (€21.2m) in 2021 to £53.9m (€65m) in 2024, while headcount more than doubled from 63 to 137 people.
Now in its tenth year, the FT 1000 recognises 1,000 of the most outstanding businesses across the UK and Europe based on revenue growth. Open Partners ranks 456th overall, placing it firmly in the top half of all companies listed.
Within the Advertising & Marketing sector, the agency ranks 26th in Europe and 10th in the UK. Among UK companies in the Advertising & Marketing category, Open Partners achieved the highest revenue of any independent agency featured.
The accolade follows a momentous year for the business. Open Partners has also been shortlisted for two Campaign Agency of the Year awards: Digital Transformation Agency of the Year and Independent Media Agency of the Year, with winners revealed in March 2026.
The sustained growth reflects Open Partners’ integrated model, combining Media, Data, and Creative to help ambitious brands grow across the full funnel and rapidly adapt to changing market conditions.
Commenting on the ranking, Joe Procter, Co-Founder and Exec Chair at Open Partners, said:
“Growth like this doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of brilliant people, ambitious clients, trusting media partners, and a model built for modern marketing.
Making the FT 1000 for a second consecutive year shows that independent agencies can lead the market.
Being shortlisted for two Campaign Agency of the Year awards in the same year makes it even more special. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re only just getting started.”
With offices in Manchester, London, Liverpool, Bristol, Toronto, and Melbourne, Open Partners continues to scale across a multitude of industries on an increasingly global scale.
