Why the Indie Agency Club Matters
MAD//Fest brings together the very best of the industry, from agencies, brands, media owners and technology partners to the people shaping what’s next. But for independent agencies, having a shared home at the festival creates something different. It’s a place to connect, collaborate, celebrate and champion the independent community together
The Indie Agency Club gives independent agencies a collective presence at the heart of the festival, making it easier to showcase their expertise, meet brands, build relationships and create new opportunities.
It’s also a chance to shine a spotlight on the agencies driving innovation, creativity and growth across the industry, proving that independent doesn’t mean small and that some of the most exciting work in marketing is happening outside the big networks.
Powered by the Alliance, MiQ and PubX
The Indie Agency Club is brought to life by the Alliance of Independent Agencies in partnership with MiQ and pubX.
MiQ helps brands and agencies achieve better outcomes through AI-powered programmatic technology, audience intelligence and smarter media decision-making. Meanwhile, pubX is building the world’s first Agentic Advertising Marketplace, connecting publishers, advertisers and agencies through autonomous buying and selling agents to create a more transparent and efficient open web.
