About us

We are an alliance of independent consultants with expertise across sport and entertainment. We work with clients in a different way; giving direct, focused access to highly endorsed, trusted specialists. Whilst independent, we have a strong shared business support, making us efficient for the client, and able to focus on what we do best.

The Network is a part of an evolved offer from iMedia. The Network model is designed to create easy access to our industry’s best talent without the bureaucracy and chains of command of the larger agencies, and the ability to give breadth of quality smaller agencies can’t afford. Clients have complete confidence The Network can deliver national and international projects through iMedia’s account management team’s 20 year track record.

 Find you the right Consultants

Brief Creation

• The Hub can work with Clients to design a Brief  to send out to The Network, shortlist the best Consultant or team of Consultants, and then allow you to work directly with them or account manage them for you through the Hub.

Skill Search

• If you are unsure if our Consultant/s have the right skills match for your job, we will brief The Network and create a shortlist for a preliminary round of meetings.  We are continually growing our network so we can also find skilled endorsed people through our alliance of consultants.
