When Forge was founded in 2020, we set out to pave our own path as an agency. With thoughtful execution as the foundation of every campaign and project we undertake, we’ve been fortunate to build a team of talented individuals to support our vision. 

Flash forward to this year: Forge has been recognized by the LA Times Studios as one of the top 25 advertising agencies in Southern California. 

This is a testament to our growth as a company, which would not have been possible without the trust and partnership of our clients. 

Forge landed at #22 among powerhouse agencies like RPA, Innocean USA, and Trailer Park Group. Being named alongside such established names is an incredible honor.

Since the company’s inception, we’ve stayed focused, stayed hungry, and kept working hard no matter what obstacles came our way. Hard work truly pays off, and now we are proud to stand among the largest advertising agencies in Southern California, contributing to an industry that employs more than 3,500 people across 28 offices in the region.

“To our team: the hardworking people who show up every day with talent, passion, and commitment. Thank you for everything you pour into Forge,” said Dave MacLeod, President of Forge. “And to our clients, who are not just clients but partners with stories we are honored to help bring to life. We are grateful for your trust and collaboration.”
