The history
of MAGNET.

MAGNET was formed by a group of ad executives who envisioned a noncompetitive network for agency leaders to share knowledge and resources. Launched in 1946, the network has continued to grow and evolve, but what hasn’t changed is MAGNET’s culture of transparency, open sharing, and genuine camaraderie.

If you’d ask any member throughout our history what role MAGNET played in helping their business grow, the answer would always be the same—it had a huge impact on both the big-picture and day-to-day decisions that you’re faced with when it comes to this ever-evolving advertising industry.
