Words+Pixels Joins the FT 1000 List of Europe’s Fastest-Growing Companies

‍

We’re excited to share that Words+Pixels has been named in the 8th annual Financial Times FT 1000 list, ranking 328th among Europe’s fastest-growing companies. This recognition is a milestone in our journey from a boutique agency to an industry leader in just five years.

Our focus has always been on sustainable growth, building strong partnerships, and delivering creative excellence. We call it “growth without compromise”—a philosophy that has helped us achieve over 50% year-on-year growth in 2024 alone. With all of our new business coming through word-of-mouth and 96% of revenue from long-term retainers, we’re proud to have built an approach that works for both our team and our clients.

Nick Braund, Founder of Words+Pixels, shares his thoughts on this achievement:

“Our sustainable model hasn’t just helped us grow—it’s shown that doing things the right way leads to long-term success. Being named in the FT 1000 is a huge honour and a testament to the people, clients, and partnerships that have shaped our journey.”
