B2B marketing agency Lesniak Swann has been named amongst the world’s top 100 independent agencies. 

The Stoke-on-Trent-headquartered firm has made a list compiled by marketing publication The Drum that constitutes the most influential and powerful shops outside of the big agency networks. 

Managing Director Alexander Swann said: “We work with some of the biggest brands in B2B on projects all around the world – from the USA and Europe across to the Middle East, Asia and Australia. So it’s very welcome to have this recognition of the international status we have built.  

“It’s particularly sweet as we have achieved this whilst proudly being based in Stoke and Manchester. Despite the independent agency scene still being dominated by big cities like London and New York there is a real sense that this is shifting – with a growing number of agencies like ourselves challenging the status quo. 

“The majority of our team at our HQ in Stoke were educated in local colleges, the University of Staffordshire and Keele University and this is something we are keen to build on. 

“There is a real feeling that the Createch cluster especially is becoming a thriving part of the city’s local economy and a great route into a satisfying, challenging career for local people. We are very proud to be part of it.”
