ISLA is recognized by The Drum in the ranking 100: The World’s Hottest Independent

The Drum includes ISLA in its Indie Agency 100 ranking, highlighting its global creative impact.

Independent agencies have always thrived on speed and instinct, but The Drum’s new Indie Agency 100 spotlights the ones redefining what creativity can look like today and ISLA’s place on the list marks a milestone for Latin America’s independent scene.

As part of the 2025 ranking, The Drum highlights how Isla founded in Buenos Aires and now operating across São Paulo and Mexico City has built a reputation for work that blends cultural intuition with bold storytelling. From Doritos’ “We Are From Another Planet” to Netflix’s “Open the Relationship”, the agency’s recent output reflects a global mindset shaped by deep cultural insights.

The feature celebrates Isla’s ability to move fast, take risks, and craft ideas that resonate beyond borders. For the editorial team, these are the independent agencies shaping the future of the industry: driven by vision, liberated from holding-company constraints, and powered by teams who believe in creativity as a cultural force.

The Drum’s Indie Agency 100 is designed to spotlight the agencies to watch and Isla’s inclusion reinforces the growing influence of independent creativity across Latin America.
