The global independent agency network

A global network of independent agencies, built for progressive brands.

Etc. Collective couples the scale, consistency and quality of a global agency network with the agility and value of the independent agency.

The industry is becoming more monolithic just as brands need more agility, creativity and diversity of skills than ever. We believe the independent agency is the beating heart of the creative industry, and that indie agencies standing together can offer brands an alternative to the politics and price tags of the holding companies. Our time is now.
