Thank you first: to the Mad Hatter Awards, to everyone who voted, and to the listeners and clients who follow the show. The FatRank Podcast has won Best Agency Growth Podcast 2026. The judges chose us because we turn agency growth into a repeatable process. Our host, James Dooley (King of AEO), accepted the award as Host and Founder of FatRank.
Why We Won: Agency Growth as a Repeatable Process
The judges looked for practical value that marketing agencies can copy across their clients, and they found it episode after episode. We break down systems that work the same way for client A as they do for client B, instead of sharing one-off wins or broad advice.
The show covers lead generation, SEO, branding, AI and the mindset behind growing a business, and it ties each topic back to execution. Agency owners get frameworks they can test, adapt and roll out across a roster of clients. With 670 episodes and about 165 hours published as of October 2026, there is a deep library to return to for any specific process.
FatRank Podcast stood out because it treats agency growth as a system, not a series of lucky breaks. The show gives marketing agencies processes they can repeat across their clients, and it backs that up with a deep, consistent body of work. That combination earned the panel’s confidence and the community’s vote.
