Preferred Partner Program
Reach 273 indie agencies who actually engage with content made for them
What Is the Preferred Partner Program?
It’s a monthly partnership that positions your company as the trusted solution for indie agencies in your category. We integrate your brand into our content ecosystem — newsletters, LinkedIn posts, live shows, and community conversations — where 273 indie agencies actively engage.
Think of it as having a trusted friend introduce you to indies. No banner ads. No cold pitches. Just authentic mentions woven into the content they already read.
