Level placed No. 28 of 72 agencies worldwide and No. 4 among similarly-sized agencies.

PITTSBURGH, PA — Level Agency has been named No. 28 on Adweek’s 2026 Fastest Growing Agencies list and No. 4 among companies with 201-500 employees. The Pittsburgh-based digital marketing agency was one of 72 agencies recognized worldwide.

The list ranks agencies of every size and category on revenue growth over the prior three years. Entrants must submit certified financials, verified through audited income statements or a notarized letter from the CEO or CFO, which makes the ranking a measured read on real growth rather than reputation.

Level’s growth over the ranking period came from two places: existing clients expanding scope, and significant new engagements spanning insurance, home services, financial services, education, retail, and B2B SaaS.

Recent client outcomes include:

  • Record Q1 revenue in managed channels for a regional residential energy company, up 68% year over year during a traditionally soft demand period
  • 40% enrollment growth for a national nonprofit university since the partnership began, including 24% year-over-year growth in 2025
  • A 128% increase in top-three keyword rankings and 77% growth in organic traffic for a multi-brand vocational and trade school group
  • A major assets-under-management milestone reached for a financial services asset manager within a single summer engagement

“Growth like this is an outcome, not a goal,” said Patrick Patterson, CEO of Level Agency. “We succeed when our clients succeed, and we’re continually rebuilding how we work as AI changes what digital marketing can deliver. The ranking is a useful marker, but what matters more is that new clients chose us and existing clients grew with us.”
