Canvas Named AdAge Best Places to Work (Two Years Running!)
Canvas Worldwide has been named one of the Ad Age Best Places to Work 2025, an annual ranking of companies that lead the pack in factors ranging from pay and benefits to corporate culture and leadership. This is the second year in a row that Canvas was named to the Top 10 on the list of 200 companies.
Ad Age revealed the rankings for Ad Age Best Places to Work on Jan. 27 at AdAge.com. These companies were praised for doing a standout job over the past year as the ad business met with the challenges of an unsettled economy, changing media market and a continued tight talent pool.
The winners — spit into two categories: top companies with 150 or fewer employees and top companies with more than 151 employees — reflect the highest overall numerical scores based on an analysis of questionnaires submitted by employers and survey responses from their employees.
"This honor is especially meaningful because it’s based on REAL people who work at Canvas and their honest feedback," said Canvas Worldwide CEO Paul Woolmington. "Our people are truly at the heart of everything we do. While Canvas has received many accolades since Day One, this recognition always feels particularly special, as it reflects the culture we’ve worked so hard to build together over the years! This would also not be possible without great clients and partners across the industry who nurture kinship and collaboration!"
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 pay and benefits, work/life balance, recruitment, training and development (20% of the score).
“The companies on Ad Age’s 2025 Best Places to Work list have shown a deep commitment to building workplaces where employees truly want to be — no small feat in today’s challenging labor market,” said Dan Peres, president of Ad Age. “Earning this recognition isn’t just a win for company culture; it also strengthens an organization’s reputation, making it a more attractive place for top talent.”
Ad Age produced Best Places to Work 2025 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.
