IF YOU'RE BUILDING A LEGACY, YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE

Agency Founders is a 3-day, all-inclusive experience built exclusively for agency owners who are done playing small. You won’t be stuck in a hotel ballroom listening to overpolished success stories...

You’ll have personal conversations with the industry’s most respected leaders; learning the exact systems, strategies, and mindset shifts they’re using right now to scale, stay ahead, and dominate in an ever-changing landscape.

Real conversations. Real relationships. Real growth. This is where agency owners become industry leaders.

The conversations get deeper.

WHAT PREVIOUS ATTENDEES HAVE SAID...

"It's incredible to see how these top agency owners collaborate with each other, and how willing everyone here is to collaborate with each other as well. I was able to meet and build relathionships with dozens of agency owners I wouldn't have otherwise!"

- Hannah Ralston-Asumendi

"I've been in a lot of Masterminds, but I've never been in a room with this many high-level people. Learning from the speakers as well as the rest of the people in the room is incredible."

- Ciaran Finn

"Outside of the tactical, specific "how to's" for scaling; the caliber of the speakers, the caliber of the audience members, the caliber of the community and the information here is abolutely unbeatable."

- Mo Ismail

Dear Agency Owner...

From the desk of Eddie Maalouf

Over the last 9 years, I’ve made hundreds of relationships that changed the game for me. Partnerships with 8- and 9-figure agency owners, access to private rooms most people never even hear about, and opportunities that landed BAD some of the biggest names in the ecom space.

But here’s the truth: most events suck.

They're pitch fests. Overhyped. Underdelivered. And worst of all, they isolate the people who should be building with each other.

That’s exactly why we launched Agency Founders back in 2022: To create the kind of experience I wish existed when I was scaling.

Since then, we've hosted it year after year… and every time, it’s gotten more powerful.

But this year?

We’re taking Agency Founders to a whole new level in Dubai.

And I can tell you right now: this will be the most impactful event we’ve ever hosted.

If you’ve thought about coming in the past but never pulled the trigger, this is the year you don’t want to miss.

You’ll be networking in private mixers where connections are basically gift-wrapped and handed to you. You’ll have the chance to sit with speakers and other industry leaders to map out a personal “attack plan” to hit your biggest agency goals.

No fluff.

No droning pitch decks.

Just real, strategic conversations with the people actually doing it.

If you're ready to stop watching from the sidelines and finally step into the rooms that change everything, I'll see you in Dubai.

Let’s make this your year.

- Eddie
