Unfettered: The Independent Agency Summit 

We created the Unfettered Independent Creative Agency Summit with our partners The Ad Club of NY, Rick Boyko, and Kempner Communications, because we believe that amid industry consolidation, rapid change, and broader global pressures, this is an incredible moment of opportunity for independent agencies.

 

The insights shared by leaders across agencies, brands, tech, and the trade press during our summit made one thing clear: the future is bright, and indie firms are driving the next era of creativity in our industry.

 

Huge thanks to everyone who took part and made this inaugural event a success!
