In most years, rankings are a reflection of momentum. In 2025, for us, they became a reflection of a decision.
We’re proud to announce that Belkins has been ranked #5 on Clutch’s 2025 Global 1000 list, placing the company among the top B2B service providers worldwide. The list evaluates more than 350,000 companies on the platform, and fewer than 1,000 make it to the top.
But this year’s ranking didn’t come from protecting a position. It came from choosing to change.
After reaching #4 globally in 2024, we could have doubled down on what was already working: our playbook was proven, the results were predictable, and the ranking was within reach.
Instead, we picked a harder path.
2025 became a year of rebuilding from the inside out. We moved fully into omnichannel and full-funnel engagement, redefined how campaigns are executed across channels, and began working with larger, more complex clients — longer sales cycles, narrower ICPs, higher expectations, and far more at stake.
The work was heavier, the margin for error was smaller, and the learning curve was steep.
“On the surface, dropping from #4 to #5 can look like going backward,” says Michael Maximoff, Co-founder of Belkins. “But we weren’t optimizing for optics. We were rebuilding the foundation. Sometimes you have to step away from what’s comfortable to build something that can scale.”
Clutch analyzed roughly 50,000 active agencies worldwide for this year’s ranking. We placed #5 globally, not by preserving momentum, but by reshaping how the company operates. And while each previous year marked a different phase of growth, 2025 marked a transformation.
Behind the ranking is our team that stayed consistent through a demanding year, refining execution, raising standards, and taking on responsibility for outcomes that extend well beyond booked meetings. It’s also a recognition of the clients who trusted Belkins with ambitious goals and long-term partnerships during a year of change.
As we look ahead, the focus remains unchanged: build for what’s next, not what’s easy. The foundation laid in 2025 is already shaping how Belkins enters 2026 — stronger, sharper, and ready to compound.
