Feel good about advertising again.
Princeton Partners Group (PPG) is a collective of independent advertising agencies and support firms that solves what's broken in the ad agency model—short-termism, siloed thinking, and the erosion of creative and strategic talent.
PPG firms keep their independence while gaining the capabilities, strength, and shared upside of a unified national collective—creatives, strategists, data specialists, and category experts.
United Collective
Serve clients with passion and creativity.
The broken agency model
Independent agencies are at a crossroads. The pace of change is overwhelming. Clients and agencies are challenged to produce more with less. Many firms are stuck in operational overload, falling behind in innovation, and unable to scale. Owners have greater stress and fewer opportunities to realize the value of their hard work and investments. Many agencies have the desire to grow but are struggling to keep up.

PPG enables renewed focus to attract and reward strong talent, regain differentiation, and innovate faster.
Member agencies keep their leadership and identities while maximizing their ability to solve client problems, produce world-class work, and build value in the communities they serve.
