How to read it: scores come from 60 industry boards of ten brands each, all scored on the same fixed rules, with evidence read between 12 and 23 October 2026. Industries sell in different ways, so treat this as a cross-industry view rather than a precise league. Some brands appear on more than one board, once per industry. Brands on the same score share a rank and are listed A to Z. Bold green marks a channel score of 8 or more; red marks 3 or less.

How the research works

Every brand is scored out of 10 per channel from publicly visible activity only, then averaged into the overall score. The Average is the simple mean of the seven channel scores, rounded to one decimal place.

Every board now uses the same fixed scoring rules, set out on each board, and states the date its evidence was read. The older boards, first published with scores relative to the other brands in each comparison, were rescored on the fixed rules and expanded to ten brands on 22 and 23 October 2026. Every leaderboard is refreshed annually.

Brands cannot pay to appear, to improve a score, or to remove a board. Every score is assessed by hand by Whito, from publicly visible marketing activity only. Claiming a Whito listing is free and never changes a research score. Any brand can ask us to correct a factual error and can send a response for us to publish.

What the scores are not: they measure visible marketing execution at the date of assessment, not sales, revenue, profit, market share or return on spend. The brand at number one does not necessarily have the most customers or make the most money. And because we assess from the outside, activity we cannot see into, such as what happens inside an email sequence or an ad account, is judged only by its visible traces.

Every industry is now scored against the same fixed rules, but industries sell in different ways, so compare across them with care.

Common questions

What are the Whito UK Marketing Leaderboards?

Independent rankings of how well known UK brands actually market, scored across seven channels: social, website, email, SEO, paid, reviews and brand. So far we have scored 600 brands across 60 leaderboards, using publicly visible activity only.

How are the scores worked out?

Every brand is scored out of 10 per channel from publicly visible evidence, against fixed scoring rules set out on each board, then averaged. Each board shows the top ten UK brands in its industry. Brands cannot pay to appear or to change a score.

Which UK brand scores highest in 2026?

iHeat holds the highest score on any Whito leaderboard at 7.7 out of 10, on the Boiler Repair & Installation board. HIPPO (7.6), PureGym (7.6), Hays Travel (7.4), Treatwell (7.4), Bill Plant (7.3) follow. A top score means the strongest visible marketing we measured, not the most sales or profit.

What can my business learn from the leaderboards?

Each board opens with who’s leading, which channels they score highest on, the weakest channel across the industry, and three practical lessons you can copy. Email is the weakest channel on 41 of the 60 boards, so it is often the first gap worth closing.

How often are the leaderboards updated?

Each industry is refreshed annually, and new industries are added regularly. Each board shows when it was last assessed, and this page shows when it was last updated.

Can I request a leaderboard for my industry?

Yes. We add new leaderboards when readers ask. Use the contact page and tell us the sector, or join the newsletter to hear when a new board goes live.
