Marketing and experiential solutions business generates $1.22 billion in revenue, making Advantage Solutions the largest agency headquartered in St. Louis
Advantage Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: ADV) has been recognized as the 18th largest agency company worldwide in the Ad Age Agency Report 2026, which ranks the top 25 global agency companies by revenue.
The ranking also establishes Advantage Solutions as the largest agency headquartered in St. Louis, driven by $1.22 billion in revenue from its marketing and experiential solutions business, including its full-service agency, Advantage Marketing Partners (AMP).
The company’s marketing and experiential solutions revenue increased 2.6% year over year, rising from $1.19 billion in the previous year, despite broader industry challenges highlighted in the report.
“Advantage Solutions operates across the entire path to purchase, and that full-picture view is what makes our marketing and experiential solutions sharper, smarter, and more effective,” said Dave Peacock, CEO of Advantage Solutions. “We understand what moves consumers because we are present at every moment that matters, from discovery to purchase. That presence is what has grown us into one of the world’s largest agencies, and it is what we will continue to deliver for our clients every day.”
End-to-End Marketing and Commerce Capabilities
The recognition reflects the combined strength of Advantage Solutions’ marketing and experiential business alongside AMP. Together, the organizations provide integrated services that bridge traditional brand marketing with retail execution, combining creative development, media planning, digital strategy, and in-store experiential marketing.
By connecting brand storytelling with data-driven commerce capabilities, Advantage Solutions helps brands create seamless customer experiences from initial awareness through final purchase.
“The lines between brand marketing and commerce have completely vanished,” said Christi Geary, Executive Vice President of Agency at Advantage Solutions and Head of AMP. “Our continued growth and recognition by Ad Age proves that our model works. By unifying breakthrough creative and media with precise retail execution, we don’t just build brand love—we convert it into measurable business growth at every single touchpoint.”
Recognition in a Competitive Global Market
Now in its 82nd year, the Ad Age Agency Report evaluates leading agency organizations based on revenue, employment, and broader industry trends.
According to the 2026 report, the overall U.S. share of global agency revenue declined during the year. Despite that trend, Advantage Solutions continued to grow its marketing and experiential business, securing its place among only 11 U.S.-headquartered companies included in the global top 25 rankings, alongside firms such as Omnicom, Deloitte Digital, and Stagwell.
The latest recognition highlights Advantage Solutions’ continued expansion as it strengthens its position in integrated marketing, retail media, experiential marketing, and commerce solutions, helping brands connect consumer engagement with measurable business outcomes across every stage of the purchasing journey.
