Southwold-based strategic communications design agency Spring has jumped 10 places in the national Design Week Top 100 survey.

The annual survey’s detailed analysis of the most successful independent design agencies across the UK shows that Spring has grown by 32% in the past year, putting it in 78th place in the 2016 ranking.

Creative director and co-founder Erika Clegg says: “The Design Week Top 100 is the industry yardstick, so it’s a real accolade for the team here at Spring to make such a large jump this year, and drive growth when many other agencies are not.

“I believe that this is a direct outcome of our ability to demonstrate the commercial benefits we provide to clients, especially when we work with them strategically at board level to shape their brand position and direction of growth.”
