Sukle named Ad Age's 2026 Purpose-Led Agency of the Year.
We’re beyond excited to share that Sukle has been named Ad Age’s Purpose-Led Agency of the Year, 2026.
Honorees were announced at the Ad Age Small Agency Awards in Los Angeles, the culmination of Ad Age’s annual Small Agency Conference. Now in its 17th year, Ad Age's Small Agency Awards have become one of the industry's most respected honors for independent agencies with fewer than 150 employees—recognizing not just creative work, but also business performance, agency culture, and client impact.
The past year at Sukle has been an eventful one. We celebrated the agency’s 30th anniversary, made some key additions to our team, and welcomed several new brand partners including Wild Oats, Children’s Hospital Colorado, Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, Frontline Wildfire Defense–and we celebrated the return of longtime client Denver Water.
“I guess this makes us a 30-year overnight success story,” said Mike Sukle, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sukle Advertising & Design. “I couldn’t be more proud of this 15-person team that punches above its weight every day for our clients. We’re incredibly grateful to Ad Age for this recognition, and to our brave client partners who’ve trusted us with their brands, and believed in the power of creativity to drive positive change.”
