I lead IKPN (Independent Knowledge Partner Network). We help small agencies grow by making minority investments (5 - 15%), and support them with access to advanced advertising technology and support, and fielding leadership questions in finance, new business, talent and technology. As a community, our partners share knowledge, opportunities, and technologies. They work collaboratively in a peer network they can trust, and their businesses expand. Partners include Mediology, Definitely Real, 9thCO, Ken Media, and Authentic Audience to name a few.
