One partnership covers everything we do for a year. Or pick a single event and own it. Both are real ways to work with us — here’s all of it, in plain English, with the prices on it. And if you’ve got budget that expires on 31 December, start at the top.
The trade publication for independent agencies. We report on the business daily — who won what, who bought whom, what’s actually working — and the industry reads it. Founded and edited by people who spent 30 years inside agencies, events and trade press.
The membership platform underneath it. More than 350 independent agencies pay to belong: for the peer network, our awards program, our events, expert feedback on their work, and a marketplace of vetted partners. The publication is how the industry finds us; the membership is who we actually serve.
You know the situation. There’s money sitting in the account, it doesn’t roll over, and on 1 January somebody upstairs takes it back. We’d like to help you with that. Our events are booked out for the rest of the year, so these three are where there’s room.
An hour of Good Day Advertising, our Friday radio show, with your name on it — read live at the top and the close. Come on the air. Help pick the music, which is the part people actually fight us over.
The episode page stays up with your name on it.
Claim a FridayEach year we induct a few people who shaped the independent agency world. Your logo and a proper thank-you in the room on the night.
And your name stays on the Top 40 page permanently — long after the budget that paid for it has become a rounding error. Presenting the segment is a separate thing at $15,000; this is the supporting spot.
Take the Hall of FameBudget to move and a short runway. Tell us what you’re trying to get done and we’ll build something around it — coverage, a mention, introductions, a piece of the radio hour.
It’ll be live before the year is out.
Start a conversationWhatever you spend here comes off your 2027 deal.
One price for the whole year, or any single piece at the price on it. Both are real ways to work with us.
The Platinum Partnership. Everything else on this page is included in it, plus the year-round platform — promotion, introductions, QuickCoach, audience research and your own editorial positioning. We’re taking 10 partners for 2027, total.
See what’s inside → Path two · one thing at a timePick a single event, an hour of radio, an awards category or a night in December, and own it outright. Everything below is sold on its own, at the price shown, and each position goes to one sponsor.
See everything →Everything on this page, plus the year-round platform, in one flat fee. We’re taking 10 platinum partners for 2027 — not 10 per category, 10 total.
All of it, for 40% less than the pieces cost on their own. Everything from here down is included in Platinum — so the rest of this page is either what you already have, or what you can buy one piece at a time.
A conference in April, Cannes in June, an awards program running across both halves, and a party in December. Each sells on its own, and each position is a single sponsor. Own it and it’s yours.
Our annual one-day conference for independent agency owners and leaders: two rooms, a main stage and a working-session room, running 8:30am to the evening. It’s the one day of the year this community gets in a room together, and everything on stage is filmed.
Portland · April 13, 2027 · ~450 agency leaders · indie27.com
Logo placement on indie27.com, on the between-session screen loop and on venue signage; a mention in the newsletters and social posts before and after the event; the attendee list — name, title and agency, for everyone who opts in — to follow up with yourself; and a place in the recap coverage we publish afterward.
We build the programming ourselves so the day stays worth attending, then work sponsors into the conversations where they genuinely belong. It lands better with this audience, and it’s the reason they stay in the room.
We’re still building the 2027 slate, including things that happen well beyond April 13 — in the run-up, in the weeks afterward while the content is still circulating, and across the rest of the year. If there’s a moment you want, tell us. A good number of the best things we run started with a partner asking whether we could do something we hadn’t thought of.
We’re back at Cannes in 2027, and sponsorship is open. We’ll have the shape of it in Q4 — if you want to be part of it, say so now and we’ll build it around you while there’s still room to shape it.
See the Cannes Indie Scoreboard → — our running count of how independent agencies did on the Croisette.
Our awards program for independent agencies — one show honoring the best work, one honoring the best people and shops. Agencies enter, judges score, and the results get revealed across a five-night countdown, because for an independent shop this is the recognition that actually moves new business.
Our December party — invitation-level tight, the most senior room we put together all year. It’s an evening — a hundred or so of the people who run these companies, in one room, talking to each other.
And everything they make stays up.
Our showcase for the work itself. Independent agencies and freelancers send us the campaigns they’re proudest of, and we publish the story behind each one — told by the people who made it, in their own words.
This is the front door for agencies who want their work seen, which makes it the one place in our world where the audience arrives already trying to impress someone. As presenting sponsor your name sits on the thing they came for — on the site, on every showcase, on the submission form, and on the coverage that runs alongside it.
See the showcaseOur radio show. One hour, every Friday, hosted by our editor — the independent agency week in the shape of a morning radio show: news blocks, guests calling in from agencies, music in between, and a host who spent years in radio before he spent 30 in this industry.
The show is yours — presented by you, read live at the top and the close. You’re on it if you want to be. You help pick the music. And every episode becomes a page that lives on, with the audio, a full transcript and the reporting behind every story.
Take a single Friday from $5,000, or a whole month from $12,000 — four or five weeks running, which is long enough for people to start expecting your name on it.
Listen to an episodeA Blueprint is our name for a piece of original research we produce — a report or data study on the independent agency market, built from our own survey and member data, published as “presented by you.”
We do the research, the writing and the design; you get the credit and the asset. This is the one that gives people a reason to call you.
Scope a BlueprintOne night, in person, in a city you choose — a dinner, a happy hour, a trivia battle, pickleball, a wine outing. We invite the members and produce the whole thing; you’re a host in the room, shaking hands.
Every event we run is live and in a real place. This is how partners meet 20 or 30 agency leaders properly in a single evening. Priced by format and market.
Pick a cityTell us what you’re trying to get done in 2027 and we’ll point you at the one that actually does it — happily, even when that’s the cheapest thing on the page.
A few questions and we’ll come back with the one or two things that actually fit. A real person reads every one — usually back to you within a day.
A real person reads every one of these, and we’ll get back to you — usually within a day.
