It probably goes without saying, but I think they do if you have enough volume. I've seen web design companies that rank well with 99% of their backlinks being the "designed by" links in the footer.
The smart ones use links like "<a>web design</a> by company name" and the not so smart ones do "designed by <a>company name</a>".
