Rise named among top providers in 2026 independent media management services evaluation

Joshua Lowcock, Chief Media Innovation and Data Officer at Quad

“We believe Rise's inclusion in the Forrester Wave report reflects the value of the model we've been working hard to build over the last several years: marrying deep media expertise with data-informed audience strategy and planning, transparent pricing and media investment, business-outcome-focused measurement, and access to Quad's creative, production and commerce capabilities. For our agency, this is a meaningful milestone and a sign of the momentum our team is creating as we continue to grow our capabilities and deliver greater value for clients”

Cari Bucci-Hulings, President of Quad's agencies, Betty, Favorite Child and Rise

“Marketers are being asked to do more across more channels, with more data and less room for error, and they need a media partner who can turn complexity into clear decisions and measurable progress”

“Forrester's recognition of Rise as a top media agency is undeniably exciting, but the opportunity it creates extends beyond any one agency. As Rise grows, it strengthens what Quad's agencies can offer together, and we're committed to investing in the technology and talent that will make that collaboration even more powerful for clients today, tomorrow and in the years ahead”
