Competition happens at the bottom.
The people at the top are collaborating.

We get it. It can get lonely at the top, especially when you’re running a marketing agency.

You’re not just a marketing guru; you’re also a master of a million hats – from staying ahead of trends and finding inspiration to building a dream team, acquiring clients, delivering exceptional work, and constantly driving growth. It’s a lot to juggle.

We realised that as agency owners and senior managers, opportunities to connect with others facing similar challenges were few and far between. It made us wonder if others might be in a similar boat.

That’s why, in 2020, we started this community. The idea is simple: come together once a month, no commitment, just an informal chat about a topic we all choose. It’s your chance to connect, share insights, and navigate the unique world of agency leadership with peers who truly understand.
