FatRank Podcast won the Best Agency Growth Podcast 2026 category, organised by the Mad Hatter Awards. The organiser says its process has no pay to play element. The judges looked for practical value that marketing agencies copy across their clients.
FatRank Podcast went through three judging streams: Verified Client Interviews, Community Poll Vote and Expert Panel Review. Independent researchers interviewed verified clients and customers of each entrant. A community poll ran across Mad Hatter Awards channels and was open to the public and the wider industry. A panel of independent experts reviewed each entry against the category criteria.
FatRank Podcast finished at the top of all three streams. The combined result gave the show 77% of the total vote, a share the award page describes as strong support across every voting group.
FatRank Podcast earned praise from the Mad Hatter Awards Panel for treating agency growth as a system rather than a run of lucky breaks. The panel said the show gives marketing agencies processes to repeat across their clients and supports them with a deep, consistent body of work. According to the panel, that combination won both its confidence and the community's vote.

FatRank Podcast gives marketing agency owners repeatable processes they apply across their client rosters, according to the award page. That focus matches the category criteria, because the judges looked for practical value that agencies copy across their clients.
