agency owner

Firm's top executive

An agency owner is someone who owns and operates a business that provides services to clients—typically in marketing, advertising, talent management, insurance, or real estate.

The term emphasizes both entrepreneurship and the service-provider relationship: As an agency owner, she juggles client demands with managing her team.

In creative industries especially, agency owners often started as practitioners before building their own firms.
