Welcome to the most honest room in the industry.





No one should have to lead alone. Now you don't have to.
Sure, you have leaders at your agency who can help with direction, but none of them ever had to sit in your chair. None of them had to make the tough decisions you have to make every day.
We’re 35+ independent ad agency owners who come together to share those experiences. To talk about what worked and, more importantly, what didn’t work. To ask questions. Lots of questions. And to listen.
More reasons to join.
Our next event.
Phoenix, AZ
April 29 – May 2, 2026
Topics include:
What’s next with AI, what agencies are doing now to land new business, and more.
What other CEOs get out of it.

I knew of a couple of the agencies in the network. Initially, I thought of them as competitors – but when they invited me to talk about MAGNET, their business, THE business, I realized that they weren’t competitors; they were peers and partners, and MAGNET offered 40 more just like them.

The value for me has been the candor and transparency of fellow members. I can recall my first meeting thinking…”Wow, what a great place to share and learn about the real, unvarnished issues of the business!”
“
MAGNET definitely took me from operating like a small design firm to operating like a professional advertising agency. When we have a tough year, having my personal network of friends who truly understand my situation is what gets me through.
