Beyond agency owners and leaders, our community also includes freelancers, consultants, in-house marketing leaders, media professionals, and technology partners. Membership is concentrated in Greater Portland (75%), with growing communities in Seattle (15%) and across the broader Pacific Northwest (10%) — and many of our events draw non-members, extending sponsor visibility to an even wider audience.
For AdTech and MarTech companies, NextNW is a direct line to the agency leaders who influence platform selection, technology adoption, and client recommendations.

We connect your brand with industry professionals across five states and two Canadian provinces. Beyond event visibility, our partners are promoted across social channels and in our newsletter to over 2,800 subscribers.
