About

“Having a resource of other agency owners from around the country to share experiences and best practices has been an invaluable resource for GREENCREST. The networking opportunities, education forums and insight that Dave Wood and his team at Agency Management Roundtables provides is the difference between ‘being in’ the advertising business and ‘running’ a profitable advertising business. I highly recommend that any serious advertising business owner who is looking for success and growth join this network.”  Kelly Borth, President — GREENCREST — Columbus, OH

 

Next to being a lighthouse keeper in Nova Scotia, running an ad agency can be one of the loneliest jobs on earth! You know. You’re probably right there in the lighthouse!

 

You’re in good company. Agency Management Roundtable (AMR) is a management consulting business that specializes in helping owners of small- and medium-sized marketing communication companies (less than 30 employees) move up to their next performance level—and keep improving.

 

Our clients include advertising agencies, graphic design and public relations firms, media service firms and interactive agencies.

 

Management Roundtables: It begins with a series of management roundtables where you and 10 to 12 other agencies from non-competing markets come together for intense training and open collaboration. Programs concentrate on the organization and optimization of your business. These are open exclusively to company principals.

 

Workshops: The workshop track is for company senior management employees in finance and account management. In seventeen years, more than 2000 have attended the AE BootCamps and another 500+ have attended the Financial Firepower programs.

 

True Networking After the roundtables, many agency owners elect to join one of AMR’s agency networks to continue their collaborative efforts at semi-annual gatherings. This ongoing connection with like-minded, non-competing industry peers oftentimes becomes one of the most valuable assets in getting their business to grow the way they want. In between, the shortcut through their next business opportunity or solution to a challenge is only a phone call or email away.
