RECMA has named Vizeum as the world’s fastest growing media network in its Overall Activity Billings 2014 report. RECMA is the only research company that evaluates digital and media agencies worldwide. Across the 16 global agencies assessed by RECMA, Vizeum increased activity billings year-on-year by +29.1%, over 9% more than the second ranked agency.
From a South African perspective, Vizeum SA has ranked in the top four agencies in South Africa. These results stem from the impact of the 2014 billings, together with resources, updates and recent moves. Vizeum shifted up from the previous year’s fifth position to fourth.
Locally the significant wins included the reappointment of BMW Group and addition of MINI South Africa in 2015. Vizeum SA picked up another notable win with BBC Worldwide.
“Being ranked by RECMA, as one of the top 4 agencies in SA is a proud moment, particularly as the evaluation is based on 15 criteria, including competiveness and client profile,” saidTanya Schreuder, joint managing director of Vizeum SA. “Growth in the current climate is challenging, but successful partnerships with our clients and media owners has allowed us to continue our momentum. This is coupled with a truly connected network and innovative product offering that is powered by a dedicated and passionate team.”
