Marketing Agencies Association Worldwide
The home for mentoring, networking, collaborating and intelligence
ABOUT
MAA WORLDWIDE
MENTORING
The ability to meet or talk privately with marketing champions who have sold their businesses, organised and managed MBOs or have bought businesses and built international groups is a unique MAA Worldwide member benefit. And it’s covered by your membership fee.
NETWORKING
The networking opportunities are invaluable. Fellow peers share their insights and new business opportunities with like-minded members. We guarantee these networking opportunities will provide new and valuable learnings that will change your business for the better. And if you ever need a partner business to help you with insights on a pitch, or to provide services for you in a different geography, your fellow members are your first point of contact.
COLLABORATING
Running a marcomms business means sleepless nights! But you’ll be surprised to know that the same things that worry you, worry every other principal, wherever they are in the world. And many have identified the causes and devised solutions that address every issue…and are more than happy to share those precious insights to help you help your business and feel better for it! This unique collaboration is realized through our summit workshops and white papers.
INTELLIGENCE
Our members share intelligence and information with each other on and offline and the keynote speakers who attend our summits not only present insights into their markets but also join our unique workshop programme, allowing you to share their expertise and priceless insights with your teams and of course, your clients.
In addition, you will have a number of benefits, as well as access to the GLOBES archives allowing you to see the ideas and processes from across the globe that have resulted in the winners proving they are truly “the best of the best”
OUR VISION
The MAA Worldwide is truly unique. Over the past 50 years the association has evolved to meet the demands and ever changing roles of the entrepreneurs it represents. It remains focused on understanding and addressing both the business and personal needs of Principals, CEO’s, Presidents, Directors, and Senior personnel of Marketing Communication companies, including agencies and marketing support organisations, regardless of discipline, sector, size or geography.
The MAA Worldwide has often been described by its members as the “best kept secret” so it’s unlikely that you just stumbled upon us. You were probably introduced to us by a trusted friend, or you heard about us through our GLOBES award programme.
Either way, we're glad you're here.
