We recently received some love from Clutch.com and wanted to share it with everyone. Appency was named one of Clutch’s Top App Marketing Agencies of 2015. Dozens of factors including company experience, client references, industry recognition and market presence were considered by the company when making their selections.

The Top Mobile App Marketing Agencies list was also based on a Leader’s Matrix that Clutch put together. On one axis “the ability to deliver” was measured and on the other, an agency’s “focus” was tracked. Thus the matrix was broken in four quadrants, Market Leaders, Proven, Emerging, and Niche. The full graphic can be seen below.

App Marketing Leaders

Our industry experience combined with mobile app focus pins Appency in the Market Leaders quadrant of the Leaders Matrix. While we focus our efforts (and have become experts) on mobiles apps specifically, our digital marketing tactics and strategies could be applied to many other products.

Clutch is a Washington DC-based research and review firm that serves as a resource for start-ups, mid-market and large enterprises looking to purchase professional services or software. They aim to connect these buyers with the best company or service available.

We at Appency sincerely appreciate this recognition and hope to continue earning such praises. We love to hearing positive feedback from clients and partners, so this made us feel especially warm and fuzzy.
