Enero Group (Enero), a leading global group of marketing and technology agencies, has today announced its results for the twelve months ended 30 June 2026 (FY26), with the Group reporting 9% EBITDA growth, a record performance from its Australian-based agencies, and margin expansion.
Enero’s Australian-based agencies, BMF and Orchard, delivered record EBITDA alongside one of their most decorated years for creative and effectiveness awards, lifting the contribution of Australia and Asia to 69% of the group’s EBITDA, up from 53% in FY25.
In FY26, BMF’s EBITDA grew 27% year-on-year, net revenue grew 11% and the agency delivered a margin of 23.2%, in a year in which it was named Australia’s Most Effective Creative Agency for the second consecutive year at the Australian Effie Awards, took home a Global Grand Effie for ALDI’s ‘Shop ALDI First’, and won new clients including Asahi Group (Victoria Bitter, Hard Rated, Solo, Solo Energy, and Brookvale Union) and Superloop.
Continuing its growth trajectory in FY26, Orchard delivered its best year, seeing EBITDA grow 25% and net revenue lift 9%, while adding Ryman Healthcare and Precision Group to its client roster, winning Marketing Campaign of the Year at the Prime Awards for the third time in five years and taking home Optimizely’s Customer Partner of the Year two years in a row.
Meanwhile, Hotwire Global maintained double-digit EBITDA margins while continuing to progress its transformation in a difficult market, building on its strength in Reputation, Relationship and Revenue services, which combines PR and performance marketing capabilities to enhance both the communications and marketing effectiveness of its technology clients. That offer was extended further this year through first-of-a-kind partnerships with Morning Consult and Lilypath, giving clients access to deeper insight and more authoritative content and winning new clients including DocuSign, ShopFully, and Tineco, along with more than 20 others.
Enero accelerated its AI investment across the Group in FY26, building capability that strengthens client outcomes and operating efficiency. Each agency developed and deployed proprietary tools suited to its own clients and market, while the corporate centre provided the infrastructure, security and governance to deploy them at scale.
All three agencies converted that investment into commercial return. Hotwire’s AI Lab lifted win rates and tripled revenue between Q1 and Q4, with a fourth product piloted for launch in FY27. BMF formalised a proprietary AI operating system spanning creative effectiveness, production and operations. Orchard rebuilt its operating model through its ‘Agentic by Default’ program, delivering efficiency gains and earning accreditation across major marketing AI platforms including Optimizely Opal.
Ian Ball, Enero Group CEO, said: “FY26 was a year in which clients increasingly concentrated their marketing investment behind partners able to demonstrate creative excellence and commercial impact, and Enero’s agencies were well positioned to respond. Record earnings at BMF and Orchard reflect the depth of specialism and the effectiveness credentials both agencies have built over many years, while the early establishment of Hotwire Global’s AI Lab is improving new business success rates and extending that agency’s reach beyond its traditional technology base. We are directing our investment behind those capabilities.
“The Group enters FY27 with a focused portfolio, a lean corporate centre and a clear AI strategy. With three award-winning agencies, each with strong leadership, a distinct value proposition and a consistent track record of world-class results, Enero is well placed to drive outstanding outcomes for clients, attract top talent and deliver strong returns for shareholders,” said Ball.
