MiNetwork is a UK-wide organisation which works closely with the owners and directors of independently owner managed marketing services agencies to ensure that they receive maximum exposure to build their personal and business profiles, have access to a broad network of like-minded marketing business owners willing to share knowledge and experience and ultimately build more transferable value in their business, through improved efficiencies and business development opportunities.

Now in its fourth year, MiNetwork supports almost 100 agency members across all marketing disciplines and a range of sizes to achieve their short, medium and long term business objectives with real, down to earth advise, support and action.

Making You Famous

The MiNetwork team has combined experience of almost 20 years in helping marketing services agencies position and promote themselves effectively through what is today the largest media and marketing website and magazine in the UK – thedrum.co.uk and the fortnightly printed publication.

MiNetwork’s Managing Director Richard Draycott edited The Drum for more than a decade and has an intimate knowledge of how agencies should manage their news to guarantee maximum exposure. Richard can also offer damage limitation advice for when things don’t go quite according to plan to ensure that you remain in control of any situation.

MiNetwork’s Commercial Manager Chris Morton has worked on the commercial side of The Drum for more than six years and has during that time managed many online and offline marketing campaigns for some of the highest profile agencies in the UK. Chris can advise on where to access Carnyx Group’s many platforms to ensure that MiNetwork members get maximum value.

Through this dual approach MiNetwork can make sure your agency is positioned, profiled and promoted the way you want editorially and commercially.

Helping You Work Smarter

In these fast moving times for the marketing agency sector nobody has all the answers. A large part of MiNetwork’s value to our agency owner members comes through offering them access to a wide network of like-minded business owners, all willing to share their knowledge, experiences and insights into running a successful marketing agency business.

Through a combination of live networking events, online webinars, audio interviews and reports MiNetwork members can quickly and effectively position themselves as a respected industry leader and also benefit from learning new ways of working from other agency owners.

MiNetwork events are also open to all member agency staff, giving you the opportunity to ensure that your stars of tomorrow are also continually developing their business acumen and industry knowledge.
MiNetwork also works with members to help identify and appoint mentors and non-execs from wide portfolio of MiNetwork’s contacts to help take their businesses to the next level.

Making You Wealthier

When all is said and done, all agency owners want to build as much value in their business as possible to offer them the exit strategy that they choose and not the exit strategy that chooses them! Exiting may not be on the immediate horizon, but preparing your business for a potential merger, acquisition, sale should always be on the agenda of any ambitious business owner.

Through MiNetwork’s panel of partners and advisors members can work towards building the transferable value in their business, be that from ensuring they are extracting maximum value from their IP assets to ensuring that they run their HR efficiently. Members can also access special deals with partners such as CreditSafe to help safeguard them financially and also take advantage of deals with The Marketing Forum to assist in their new business development.
