Further cementing a successful start to the year, the employee owned business is thrilled to have earned the number one spot of The Drum Recommends Top Agencies of the Month. Highly coveted by agencies across the UK, the poll on agency performance is voted for by client organisations and facilitated by The Drum, a global media platform and the biggest marketing website in Europe.

Scott McCallum, chief executive, ALTAR Group, said: “This is an extremely strong start to 2023 and I am enormously proud of our team. It is very much reflective of the work we’ve delivered throughout 2022 and our reputation as an agency that challenges the status quo.

“Our bold approach has allowed us to create new relationships with a number of brands and businesses that we are thrilled to be working with, delivering exceptional work.”

Caroline Roberts, marketing manager, The Welsh Whisky Company, Penderyn, said: “I have nothing but praise for this agency, their skills, experience, attention to detail and support is first class and they really do feel like an extension to our Marketing Team, not a separate company.”
