RYZE Digital in the BVDW Internet Agency Ranking 2026: 21st place & the fastest-growing agency in the entire ranking

Date

22/05/2026

The BVDW Internet Agency Ranking is one of the most important benchmarks in the German digital sector. Every year, it reveals which companies are growing, which are stagnating, and which are shaping the market. We are delighted to announce that RYZE Digital has entered the ranking at number 21 in 2026.

But the ranking alone tells only part of the story.

41.2% revenue growth – the fastest-growing agency in the ranking

What pleases us most about this result is that RYZE Digital is not only new to the ranking – we are the agency with the strongest revenue growth in the entire field. 41.2% – this is no coincidence, but the result of a clear strategy.

A key driver behind this is our buy-and-build strategy and the integration of comspace. CEO Philipp Mann sums it up: “The fact that we were able to grow so significantly in 2025 despite difficult market conditions is the result of our consistent buy-and-build strategy. The integration of comspace in particular has expanded our agency platform. Added to this is our positioning as a technology-driven corporate communications agency group with a strong portfolio spanning DXP, performance marketing and corporate reporting.”

See the ranking

The Internet Agency Ranking published by the German Digital Economy Association (BVDW) serves as a barometer for the German internet agency sector. Through this ranking, the BVDW highlights a key segment of the digital value chain and provides impartial guidance and direction within the digital agency sector.

Top of the sub-ranking too

In addition to our overall ranking, there is another figure we are proud of: RYZE Digital takes first place in the sub-ranking of agencies with an annual turnover of between 10 and 25 million euros.

The fact that we were able to achieve such significant growth in 2025, despite challenging market conditions, is the result of our consistent buy-and-build strategy.

So what now?

The 2026 ranking is a wonderful endorsement for us – and at the same time an incentive. What we do not underestimate is how important strong software and technology partnerships are, partnerships that are not based on short-term benefits, but on genuine mutual trust and a shared vision for the future. In our business, this is not just a nice-to-have – it is one of the most important foundations for what we can achieve for our customers.

We feel that this was just the beginning. 🚀

Your experience. Our expertise. Get started now.
