All about agency hackers

What we do

The best community 🌳
for growing agencies

Agency Hackers lets you (and your team) meet other people running independent agencies.

Plug in to our community of friendly, thoughtful agency leaders. Learn from them. Get inspired by them. Make friends. Share your wisdom. We are the best way to plug into the brightest agencies around the world.

Agency Hackers is a membership community. You pay a monthly fee which gives you access for your whole team (not just the founders).

We run a mixture of online and live events. We cover most agency disciplines: HR and people, client services, marketing and new business, operations and agency leadership.

Most of the time, you are hearing from real people who are working in other agencies – not professional speakers with simplistic answers.

Who it’s for

A group of professionals is engaged in discussions around a circular table in a bright, modern meeting room. Various individuals are talking and listening, indicating collaboration and networking during a conference or workshop setting.

Agency Hackers is perfect for some agencies (and not perfect for others!)

We tend to attract agencies who are past the frazzled start-up stage. They are becoming established, but they don’t have everything figured out yet.

The typical Agency Hackers member is an independent agency with a headcount of between 15-60 and revenue of £2-£6m – but you can still join if you’re outside that range.

Our members are a stir-fry of advertising, creative, e-commerce, SEO, PR and more. We try to mix it up, because if it’s too homogenous you don’t learn anything.

Why choose us?

How is Agency Hackers different?

We attract a fun and friendly audience of ‘mature-ish’ independent agencies. Because our members tend to be a few years into their journey, they enjoy the perspective that comes with not having to put out fires every hour of the day.

(If you’re still at an early-stage you’re still welcome to join. Being around people a bit further down the road will probably help.)

And because we are a paid community instead of a feeder for something else, the people we attract are probably a bit more thoughtful and less ‘show-offy’ than other communities.

Testimonials

What our members say 👍

  • I feel like I have finally found a community that I enjoy being part of, and also learn loads from.

    I first went to the Ibiza Super Summit and then joined as a member shortly after attending a number of their events. Agency Hackers never feels like networking. It feels like fun. Last week I attended an event, got invited to dinner by a sponsor, went out with a group of founders that I now consider close friends, joined a roundtable about AI and recorded a podcast.

    I feel like I am learning constantly and have so many people I can reach out to for help or advice on any subject. The Agency Hackers team are fab and always on hand to help with anything.

  • Agency Hackers is the first community I’ve been part of that genuinely feels like a community.

    The team works hard to keep people connected, valued and supported, and it shows. Beyond the brilliant events and resources, you’re really buying a feeling: a real connection with people who care. It’s the only community that’s ever truly felt like one.

    We actually landed our biggest client ever through a referral from someone we met in the community. Ian and the team are genuinely lovely people building something positive, and we’re really happy to be a part of”

  • You come for the talks, but you stay for the community.

    Agency Hackers connects you to other agency leaders who are facing the same challenges and opportunities as you are. It’s an invaluable asset to the independent scene.
