Purpose:
The opportunity to speak to, or learn from, be connected to and inspired by other creative leaders in independent agencies in a non-competitive, safe sharing, environment. Giving you the chance to see what other creatives are working on, meet some of the top talent in the indie sector, and even boast about some of your world-class work so that between us we share best practice, hints, tips, and new innovations to support one another.
