Forbes Agency Council

Forbes Agency Council Forbes Agency Council is a vetted community for senior executives and owners of public relations, media strategy, creative, and advertising agencies.

Members can build relationships, attend live virtual events, and publish their expertise on Forbes.com Forbes, one of the most iconic media companies in the world, and the team behind YEC, one of the most world-class entrepreneurship organizations, have partnered to create a new kind of professional community for top advertising, media and marketing chief executives that proactively connects them

to each other as well as best-in-class resources based on their specific business needs. After years of talking to top professionals about what they were missing, YEC’s team started looking more closely at the professional and trade organizations available to the kinds of world-class founders, business owners, executives and professionals they work with every day. What they saw was an industry in need of an update; many such organizations offer only a limited roster of superficial benefits, and do little to connect members to each other in meaningful ways. By partnering, YEC and Forbes combined YEC’s deep understanding of community building with Forbes' global reach and resources to create a better kind of professional organization -- one that considers what a leader needs in every facet of their business life, and provides one-on-one attention based on those individual needs. The end result is Forbes Agency Council, a new and innovative community for advertising, media and marketing chief executives, who now have a place to discuss and solve pressing business challenges with their peers, share their insights via thought leadership articles on Forbes.com and get personalized one-on-one support from their Forbes Agency Council concierge, who acts as an extension of their own team. Concierges work with members on a regular, ongoing basis to learn about the member’s specific business needs and challenges. With that information, the concierge proactively connects the member to the right industry peers or resources exactly when they need them. Some of those exclusive benefits and resources include the opportunity to share business insights, thought leadership and advice articles with Forbes.com’s nearly 38 million monthly readers; a business services concierge team to connect members with curated resources like travel concierge services, financing, insurance, a global workspace network and volume discounts from hundreds of vetted vendors; exclusive access to members-only VIP events and experiences; and peer-to-peer learning and educational content, to name a few highlights. And because Forbes Agency Council has a rigorous selection process, every member can be assured that they are part of a vetted peer community of the highest caliber. We invite you to see if you qualify for Forbes Agency Council.
