LITTLE BLACK BOOK

  • Little Black Book, home to the creative world's news, work and opinion, has partnered with AIR to provide our reps and their clients a platform to talk to and be seen by the entire creative industry. Every AIR affiliated rep and their clients will be given the opportunity to join their membership with an exclusive discount and jump into the creative conversation LBB hosts every single day. AIR reps and their clients will also get the chance to enter LBB's global creative award show, The Immortal Awards, and get their work published in LBB's ever-growing and free to access creative archive.

  • When Little Black Book started in 2010, they believed that the fundamental business of advertising was changing. There were over 1,000 publications across adland - all autonomous and local - and to keep up with the business globally you had to be on top of them all. LBB created their platform with the belief that agencies, post production and production companies would all change and evolve the way they do business (and that brands would interact with them differently). LBB saw that they would need one place where they could see what was happening to the industry globally AND locally. They would need a single place where they could tell their story and be found by potential clients. Hence, Little Black Book was born.

    Skipping forward to today, Little Black Book has been hailed ‘THE communications business for the communications world’. Their member list is made up of most of the world's most creative companies. From the biggest advertising agencies and networks – DDB, McCann, FCB, Leo Burnett, Grey, TBWA, BBDO and Droga5, to name a few - as well as the world’s top production and post production companies including, such as Rattling Stick, Smuggler, Stink, The Mill, MPC and Framestore.

    They love the business we work in and created Little Black Book to help it grow.
