Carl Smith's Linkedin Analytics

I bring agency leaders together to support each other and grow personally and professionally. Knowing firsthand the loneliness that comes with running an agency, I found the power of peer connections and my purpose: nurturing a space where leaders can truly find their people. At The Bureau, we focus on what matters: real human relationships. From our Slack channels to small, impactful events and collaborative programs, everything we do is about helping agency leaders (and future leaders) connect, share, and grow together. Whether you’re celebrating a win, working through a challenge, or exploring what’s next for your agency, you’ll find a group of people who understand and have your back. When I’m not bringing people together or planning what’s next for The Bureau, I’m probably running, recording, or sharing stories on stage about what it really means to lead with authenticity. My life goal is simple. I want to make sure no leader ever feels like they’re in this alone. If you're looking for a welcoming support network focused on the human side of leadership, we'd love to learn your story and help you find your place at The Bureau. 🙌
