Who we are?

The Bulletproof Agency Network was launched in February 2017, with a mission to unite industry experts and thought leaders on how to scale a thriving, profitable and robust digital agency.

A joint initiative between MAP, RiskBox and Glaisyers, Bulletproof Agency Network’s Podcasts and Events have reached a wide and diverse audience over the past 7 years.

Our aim is simply to help agency owners realise the business they desire through insights on these four key themes:

Growth

Selecting and educating the right clients to deliver growth.

Efficiency

Implementing effective systems and procedures to enable excellent service and maximise profitability.

Culture

Getting the best people and helping to bring them on your agency journey, turning

employees into passionate ambassadors.

Strategy

Helping you shape your agency with strategic understanding and effective planning.

Food / Drink

Refreshments, including lunch, will be provided throughout the day. We will be in touch with attendees before the event to check dietary requirements.

Dress Code

All Bulletproof events are relaxed, so smart / casual is great. Extra points for anyone who attends in pirate attire.

Photography

We intend for the event to be filmed and we have full audio visual support from the venue.

Ticket Revenue

All of the money raised from Bulletproof Agency Network tickets has always gone entirely to charity.
That will remain the case for this year, with the chosen charities being Refuge and Clic Sargant.

Sponsors

In order to allow all the ticket money to go to charity we rely on some great companies to sponsor the event, and take some of the financial burden off Bulletproof itself.

This year’s sponsors will be formally announced shortly, but those confirmed so far are Pura Vida, Fathom and our headline sponsor - Sante Group
