Drew McLellan
Drew McLellan has worked in advertising for 25+ years and started his own agency, McLellan Marketing Group in 1995 after a five-year stint at Y&R. MMG celebrated its 25th anniversary in the fall of 2020. The agency specializes in the B2B financial services industry.
He also owns and runs Agency Management Institute (AMI), which offers agency management training, consulting and facilitates agency owner peer networks for small to mid-sized agencies (advertising, digital, marketing, media and PR) so they can increase their AGI by at least 25%, attract better clients and employees and best of all — exceed the agency owner's life/financial goals.
He launched his agency's blog in 2006 and it has been on the AdAge Top 150 from the list's inception. His first book, 99.3 Random Acts of Marketing, was published in 2003 and Drew and Australian marketer Gavin Heaton created the Age of Conversation series of crowdsourced books in 2007. To date, the AOC series has raised over $50,000 for charity. Drew launched the AMI blog in 2012 as a resource to agency leaders.
Drew's newest book, Sell with Authority (2020), has garnered rave reviews and has been the guidebook for small navigating covid and the business disruption it created.
Drew's often interviewed/quoted in Entrepreneur Magazine, New York Times, CNN, BusinessWeek, and many others. The Wall Street Journal calls him "one of 10 bloggers every entrepreneur should read."
Publications like The Washington Post, Forbes, Entrepreneur and others have invited Drew to write for them as well.
When he's not hanging out with clients or agency owners/staff, Drew spends time with his family and following his World Series winning Dodgers.
Drew has a master's degree from the University of Minnesota but alas, he cannot remember their fight song.
