To join The Media Leader Club, you need to be the CEO, founder or MD of an organisation with over £10m in annual turnover. You should also have a growth mindset and a desire to want to leave a lasting legacy on the industry through the power of positive change.
Guided by our visionary framework of the five C's—Connect, Collaborate, Curate, Change, and Champion—The Media Leader Club is dedicated to harnessing the invaluable insights and information shared by our members. This collaboration will be instrumental in shaping and steering our editorial strategy across all of The Media Leader's platforms, whether at our premier events or through our diverse media channels. Our team of content and editorial specialists is committed to being the catalyst for driving meaningful transformation within our esteemed industry.
In a rapidly transforming media landscape, the challenges and opportunities for industry leaders are evolving like never before. While countless trade bodies, organisations, and initiatives are making remarkable strides, our true distinction lies in our unparalleled ability and authority to champion your cause and spearhead transformative change on your behalf to the entire UK media ecosystem.
We recognise your demanding schedule and understand that attending every conference or reading every article we publish isn't feasible. That's why we meticulously tailor our offerings to members to align with your specific needs and professional level. You have the freedom to engage with the most pertinent aspects of the Club at your discretion. We simply encourage you to immerse yourself in at least one of our five Pathfinder events in 2025, join us for a lunch or dinner when invited, and participate in our Media Leader Club initiatives designed to gather the thoughts and thinking of our leaders. This could be through a leaders survey, contributing an opinion piece, engaging in a panel debate, speaking at a conference, or joining a Breakfast Club round table. The more you invest in the Club, the more rewarding your experience will be.
After confirming you meet the criteria, you can apply to join our exclusive membership by clicking this link. Membership will be open during select periods throughout the year, with only 150 elite members welcomed in 2025. Your annual investment of £999 will be strategically reinvested into dynamic events, groundbreaking initiatives, and innovative projects spearheaded by The Media Leader. This ensures a powerful amplification of key topics and fosters vibrant discussions, all aimed at propelling the industry towards achieving its ambitious objectives.
