“We built Beers With Friends on the belief that our industry needs more than one agency model, and that the shops bold enough to build new ones are community—not competition. The Small Agency Network is the rare room where that's actually true: a bunch of independents rooting for each other to work differently. It's made us braver about the model we're building.”
