the world’s largest network of independent agencies

More than 20 years ago, we set out to build a network of independent agencies who could provide serious competition to the big agency holding companies — WPP, Omnicom, Publicis, Havas, Dentsu and IPG (RIP). Today, that battle is over. The holding companies are in fast retreat and many of their most famous agency brands no longer even exist. DDB, FCB, JWT, Mindshare, Burson Marsteller — all gone. Serviceplan, VCCP, Vayner Media, Joe Public, CJ Worx — very much alive.

Our dream has come true. Independent agencies are fashionable. We have the qualities and attributes which business leaders want today: speed, imagination, agility, continuity, self-belief. If you are an independent agency: this is your time.

And yet — this is not enough. We still need some of the attributes of the network agencies: the ability to see the bigger picture, globally. To make the technological dream, a practical reality. To manage a global marketing campaign in the way Genghis Khan managed an empire, balancing leadership with collaboration. To achieve the impossible marketers’ dream:

Better, faster, cheaper.

Legacy indie networks are built on exclusivity — one agency per city, one agency per country. thenetworkone is built on inclusivity. We're a diverse community of more than 1,500 agencies in 120 countries, complementing rather than duplicating each other's talents — custom-built for what each client actually needs. The second-biggest independent network represents fewer than 100 agencies. We don't operate as a hierarchy. We operate as an ecosystem.

Always on — same or next working day response, guaranteed. No bureaucracy — run by five motivated people and an intelligent machine. Human + technology — AI handles the routine, our humans provide the imagination. Access to talent — 150,000 people across 1,500 agencies, ready to pick up your most urgent task. We add a new, best-in-class agency to our portfolio every working day of the year.

Independent agencies "on demand" give you the flex to only pay when you have more work. Most networks won't say what membership costs — we do. From a free listing to £99 a month for Community membership, up to full concierge-level access — five tiers, transparent pricing, upgrade whenever you're ready.
