NEW YORK – Jan. 20, 2025 – Mediaocean has been named one of the 2026 Ad Age Best Places to Work, an annual ranking of companies that lead the pack in factors ranging from pay and benefits to corporate culture and leadership. This marks the fourth year in a row that Mediaocean has received this prestigious recognition from Ad Age.
The 2026 list honors 50 companies that distinguished themselves over the past year as the advertising and marketing industry navigated economic uncertainty, shifting brand priorities, and the growing integration of artificial intelligence across the business. Mediaocean was ranked Top 15 overall and Top 2 among ad tech companies.
“Being recognized by Ad Age for the fourth consecutive year is a testament to the passion and resilience of our global team,” said Nicole Brown, Chief Human Resources Officer at Mediaocean. “Our focus has always been on fostering a supportive community where people can do their best work and achieve their top potential on behalf of our customers. This honor belongs to our employees, whose feedback and daily dedication continue to shape Mediaocean into a top-tier environment where world-class talent chooses to build their careers.”
The winners reflect the highest overall numerical scores based on an analysis of questionnaires submitted by employers and survey responses from their employees. Ad Age’s scoring system factors in employee responses on topics including pay and benefits and seven other core focus areas (80% of the score) and a company’s policies and practices on areas including work/life balance, recruitment, training, and development (20% of the score).
“This year’s Best Places to Work winners show what it looks like to lead with intention during a period of constant change,” said Dan Peres, president of Ad Age. “They’re investing in their people, prioritizing flexibility and building cultures that support both performance and retention.”
Ad Age produced the 2026 Best Places to Work rankings in partnership with Workforce Research Group, an independent research firm specializing in identifying and recognizing great places to work. The competition was open to agencies, ad tech firms, data and research firms, brand or corporate marketing departments or groups, and in-house agencies of marketers.
