Thus, he partnered with Tom Shipley and Felix Velarde, industry heavyweights, to launch Agency Ventures Aggregator (AVA), an advertising agency aggregation platform, created to acquire a series of agency groups, building value through programmatic scaling and a people-first approach. AVA's focus is on people, culture, and scaling from the bottom-up – building an agency group with the people who represent the future of digital. This means giving founders a choice of career path while using proven frameworks to enable and empower each agency's next generation of talent. AVA buys $10-20 million in EBITDA per year from industry-aligned digital agencies, provides a centralized back office, and groups the brands into culturally aligned service groups, with a goal to double or triple their revenue in two years with the help of its proven accelerator 2Y3X. AVA is NOT a traditional roll-up (we don’t do full integrations, and we keep the agencies separate)! AVA is founder and team friendly! AVA unlocks the team to drive sustainable long-term growth by providing strategic advisory, tactical support, agency services, and back office logistics (accounting, finance, legal, IT, HR).

Strategy mapping is a full-day workshop where we build out your goals in three years and then dissect them into small, attainable goals - delivering your scaling plan. Everyone does the strategy map before they go into the program. You can walk away after that session and commit to the program, or do it alone. Show less
