Drew McLellan has worked in advertising for 25+ years and started his own agency, McLellan Marketing Group in 1995 after a five-year stint at Y&R and still actively runs that agency today. But he spends the lion's share of his time running Agency Management Institute (AMI), which serves 250+ agencies small to mid sized agencies (advertising, digital, marketing, media and PR) every year, so they can increase their AGI, attract better clients and employees, mitigate the risks of being self employed in a such volatile business and best of all — let the agency owner actually enjoy the perks of agency ownership. AMI is the only agency network that is run by an active agency owner. It offers: • Public workshops for agency owners, leaders and account service staff • Owner peer networks (like a Vistage group or AAAA’s forums) • Private coaching/consulting for agency owners • Annual primary research with CMOs and client decision makers about their work with agencies • The highly praised podcast -- Build A Better Agency Drew often appears in publications like Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, New York Times, Washington Post, Agency Post, AdAge, CNN, BusinessWeek, and many others. The Wall Street Journal calls him “one of 10 bloggers every entrepreneur should read.” He also speaks at leading agency conferences like Inbound, Content Marketing World and many others. Drew often cited in agency centric content for his expertise in the industry. When he’s not hanging out with clients or agency owners and their staff, Drew spends time with his daughter and pondering why the Dodgers can’t seem to win the World Series. Drew has a Master’s Degree from the University of Minnesota but alas, he cannot remember their fight song.
