BEA WORLD TOP 50 EVENT AGENCIES. NINETYNINE (ITALY) IS THE MOST AWARDED AGENCY. ON THE PODIUM: XSAGA (NETHERLANDS) IN SECOND PLACE AND A TIE FOR THIRD BETWEEN SPAIN’S EXPERIENTIA AND THE DUTCH AGENCY WINK
Among the agencies climbing the ranking, the most significant progress comes from Luka (Latvia), which rises 9 positions to reach 12th place, followed by Spain’s Experientia, which jumped from 11th place last year directly to third place on the podium.
The BEA World Top 50 Event Agencies ranking rewards agencies for their creativity, innovative approach, strategic thinking and impact, but also recognizes their long-standing loyalty to the festival over the years.
The ranking does not capture the success of a single year, but instead rewards consistency of participation, project capabilities, creative effectiveness over time and production quality recognized by international juries. It therefore represents a historical and comparative indicator of the most successful BEA World agencies over the long term, based exclusively on the results achieved by their events.
Unlike previous editions, this year it was decided to assign merit points to all winning events, even when some of them won in multiple categories (Grand Prix, Gold, Silver and Bronze). Based on this principle, the scores from previous editions were also recalculated.

At the top of the podium is the Italian agency Ninetynine, which with 71 points climbs two positions compared to the third place it held in the previous edition of the ranking. It is followed by the Dutch agency Xsaga – Member of 27Names, which with 58 points moves into second place after several years at the top of the ranking.
“We are happy and deeply honored to have been recognized as the best agency at BEA World: a result that fills us with pride and confirms that we are on the right path. This recognition is not accidental, but the result of a constant commitment and a model we have been building for years. We have developed an approach to managing complexity that integrates advanced project management, multidisciplinary expertise and a strong ability to coordinate between public and private stakeholders. It is a concrete demonstration of our ability to manage complex and large-scale projects, bringing together institutions, third-sector organizations and a wide range of stakeholders in synergy,” commented Simone Mazzarelli, CEO and Founder of Ninetynine.
Echoing this sentiment is Patrick Roubroeks, Founding Director of XSAGA, who stated: “Being mentioned in the ranking of the top 50 agencies at the BEA World Festival is a great pleasure. Being second in this line-up of world-class agencies is a great honor; not only for Team XSAGA, but also for our trusted partners and clients who share the belief that working together leads to the best and most effective results.”
In joint third place are the Dutch agency WINK with 55 points, tied with Spain’s Experientia, which jumped eight positions from last year’s 11th place to reach the podium.
Entering the Top Five, rising two positions, is Next Group – Member of 27Names (Italy) with 54 points, while Balich Wonder Studio confirms its sixth place, tied with Auditoire France/China.
Among the other agencies climbing the ranking, after Experientia, the most significant progress comes from Luka (Latvia), which moves up nine positions to reach 12th place.
The Top 50 ranking of the best agencies participating in BEA World was developed through a systematic analysis of the results achieved between 2017 and 2025, starting from the year when EUBEA evolved into the current international format, BEA World. The ranking considers exclusively the performance of events that were entered and awarded.
For each edition, all placements obtained by the awarded events were collected, and each placement was assigned a corresponding score. The scores were then aggregated by agency to build a multi-year overall ranking.
The calculation does not include the Best Agency award or any ad personam or individual awards.
“In 2025 BEA World celebrated its first 20 years of history. An important milestone that positions the award as a unique benchmark and, not by chance, it is considered by many as the Oscars of events,” says Salvatore Sagone, President of ADC Group and organizer of the Best Event Awards World.
“BEA World is also an important observatory for understanding the evolution of the global events industry in terms of creativity, production quality, technological innovation and results achieved. This is why every year agencies from nearly 40 countries across five continents participate. Being among the top 50 agencies in the world means earning an unparalleled reputation with both local and international clients.”
