What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in rooms with CMOs and brand experience leads at Fortune 500 companies who control experiential budgets — the kind of direct client access that bypasses cold outreach entirely. You'd also benefit from dinners with founders who've navigated agency acquisitions by WPP, Publicis, or Accenture Song, so you can pressure-test whether a strategic exit or growth equity raise is the right next move for HUSH. Finally, peer gatherings with other profitable creative studio founders at your scale would help you rebuild the CEO accountability layer you lost when your Vistage membership ended.
