About this ranking

What this page ranks

This page ranks the 2 programmatic display and video agencies in California that have been assessed on the Agency List Score, out of 113 listed.

The score measures how well an agency documents its own work in public — named clients, quantified outcomes, and whether those outcomes are attributed to the agency rather than described as the client's own results. It does not measure client satisfaction, price, or availability.

Cohorts and awards

Agencies are compared within a cohort — here, Programmatic Display and Video in California. A cohort must be large enough to express the band being awarded: at least 8 assessed agencies for a top 25% award, 20 for top 10%, 40 for top 5%, and 300 for top 1%. This one holds 2, so no award can be issued here.

The 111 programmatic display and video agencies not yet assessed are listed on this page but not ranked.

Placement is paid; it does not affect the ranking, cohort membership, or any agency's score. Ranking position, cohort membership and the score itself are not for sale.
