Richmond-based advertising firm The Martin Agency was named Adweek’s 2020 U.S. agency of the year, the publication announced Monday.

The firm won the Old Navy ad account in February, adding the clothing retailer to a roster of clients that includes GEICO, UPS, Ritz, Oreo and Buffalo Wild Wings. In 2020, Martin posted $22 million or 30% net growth in new and organic revenue, the only U.S.-based finalist to report double-digit growth this year, Adweek says. The agency last won the honor in 2009.

Adweek named top companies in four categories: Breakthrough, Global, International and U.S.
