The way brands grow is changing. The work is more connected, the journeys are more complex, and AI is now part of how customers discover, choose, and buy.

The Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Global Digital Marketing Agencies recognizes DEPT® as a Leader, which we believe validates the model we have been building for years: bringing together strategy, creativity, media, data, engineering, and AI to help ambitious brands invent new paths to growth.

The report describes an industry being fundamentally reshaped by AI. We believe this means clients increasingly need integrated partners who can connect strategy, creative, media, data, and technology to measurable business outcomes and growth, while working within their existing AI ecosystem rather than locking them into another closed platform.

Gartner points to DEPT®’s strengths and cautions in the report, noting our Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.
