Drew McLellan, President of the Agency Management Institute (AMI), has announced that Pepper Advertising is now a part of its network.

AMI is one of the largest professional networks of privately owned advertising, marketing and PR agencies in the USA.
As an AMI accredited agency, the Pepper team is required to complete continuous education every year in accordance with the AMI Manifesto.

Through AMI, Pepper’s team will contribute to and participated in an array of training sessions dealing with technical, ethical and practical knowledge on areas such as law, business growth, relationship building, negotiation skills, digital trends and more.
This elite group of less than 100 privately owned agencies continues to invest in the betterment of members with the goal of positively impacting their clients. “Pepper were enthusiastically and unanimously voted into the Velocity network at our just concluded meeting in San Diego, California. Everyone is looking forward to learning from and with Rebecca and Dennis” said McLellan.
The Velocity network has a mix of advertising agencies, PR firms, marketing shops, digital marketing, and design firms with the desire and drive to grow their business to the next level. The network meets in person twice a year and stays in touch throughout the year. Throughout this time, they share resources, partner on business, seek counsel and enjoy each other’s support.
McLellan is often interviewed, quoted and published in Entrepreneur Magazine, New York Times, Washington Post, AdAge, CNN, BusinessWeek, and many others. The Wall Street Journal calls him “one of 10 bloggers every entrepreneur should read.”
