Join Our Agency Partners
A global community of independently-owned agencies
"Our industry needed a better way to reach global brands and pair them with leading solution providers. KSV's approach of generating demand by shining a light on our work while educating marketers on what's possible is that new way.
Quite frankly, it cuts out the BS of pitching and puts more emphasis on the human capital of true partnership; where the vetting has already been done in order to meet specific challenges when, as leaders, we are time poor and looking to build things better, faster and more effectively."

KSV Is Where Marketers Come To Learn
KSV hosts events for corporate marketing and technology executives who are eager to learn from innovative, independent agencies and startup founders in our network. By taking part in KSV's community, your agency gains access to a platform that is built on knowledge sharing and innovation, as well as a receptive audience of brand-side marketers.
Sales-Free Event Opportunities
Unlike other event companies that charge hefty fees to become one of many sponsors, KSV limits vendor participation to only a few, non-competing companies. Because we do not profit from our events, the cost of sponsoring one of our events is the lowest of anywhere in the industry. Attendance is restricted to company owners and no sales executives are allowed.
Tell Your Best Client Success Stories
KSV is here to make your agency shine! This is your company's chance to educate and inspire the marketing community with your best work. There is truly no better formula for driving demand for your agency than to tell a success story in partnership with an advocating client in front of a live audience at one of our events.
"KSV flips the growth model by generating demand for our services by providing a platform to highlight our best work and communicate our client's success stories."

Are you an agency network?
No, we simply advise CMOs and recommend suppliers. King Street Ventures offers CMOs a solution to slow-moving consultancies and agency networks with traditional silos. Your agency gets to keep its equity while taking part in a network of independent agencies, consultancies, and startups.
How will you endorse our company?
KSV will provide your agency with unparalleled exposure from corporate marketing executives. If accepted into our preferred network, your company will featured on our website, in our social media posts and blogs, and be invited to attend and participate in events throughout the year.
What kinds of agencies do you work with?
Independent agencies with deep expertise in digital marketing, advertising, and product innovation. CMOs come to KSV for innovation, not television campaigns. Our agencies build in the metaverse, launch NFT loyalty programs, use artificial intelligence, design and build new products, and more.
What sets you apart from agency search consultants?
We could not be more different, nor do we view search consultants as competition. KSV is primarily an innovation consultancy. While identifying and leading RFI and RFPs is part of the job, our consulting team is tasked with advising and guiding all aspects of a CMO's decision making, rather than simply executing a search assignment.
