As the wise African proverb tells us...
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Running an agency comes with challenges and opportunities. This exclusive invite-only lunch brings together a hand-picked group of agency leaders who understand what it takes to scale, lead, and thrive.
With no more than 8 guests, we’ll dive into the real conversations that matter. Expect frank, no-fluff discussions with people who ‘get it’. It’s like group therapy for agency leaders - where every conversation is supportive and confidential (Chatham House Rules), challenges are shared, and wins are celebrated.

💡 Why join?
1. Connect with equals – Sit down with other leaders of agencies who understand your world.
2. Learn from the hive mind – Leave with actionable ideas, fresh perspectives, and maybe even a breakthrough or two.
3. Build meaningful connections – This isn’t networking, it’s relationship-building.
4. Leave recharged – Walk away with clarity, confidence, and a few great stories.
Spaces are strictly limited.
If you lead an agency which meets the criteria for attendance (see FAQ) and want to share, learn, and be inspired by other top-tier leaders – register your interest today to have your chance to take your seat at the table. We will be in touch if successful.

- Global Partnerships at

Partnerships, to me, are not about chasing the deal; they’re about alignment, mutual growth, and long-term impact. Whether it’s working with agencies, affiliates, or product teams, I focus on creating win-wins that actually feel good for everyone involved. I’ve worked across SaaS, Affiliate, and Digital Marketing, but no matter the industry, my approach stays the same: Listen deeply. Communicate clearly. Build with intention.

: We specialize in building, managing, and optimizing email marketing programs for eCommerce, DTC, and B2C brands – from automated flows to newsletters and campaign strategy. We often partner with agencies that handle SEO, PPC, paid social, or web design/dev who either don’t yet offer email marketing or want a trusted expert to plug in without building a new team. We act as an extension of our partners - white-label or co-branded - to help their clients drive more retention, revenue, and brand loyalty through email. Our goal is to unlock this often-underutilized channel in a way that feels seamless and collaborative.
