Agency Access Review

Agency Access collects and sells information and does it by any means necessary (they can harvest the information they obtain from an unsuspecting receptionist). Despite repeated calls to this company to have my own information removed from their database, I still continue to be bombarded with spam emails from those who have purchased my information from Agency Access. I don't even have anything to do with purchasing the services I am bombarded with (artists, illustrators, photographers). Agency Access told me they do not sell my information but their website says they sell these services and several of the people who have emailed me unknowingly have confirmed that they bought my information from Agency Access. Know what you're buying from this company as you may be buying dead end leads (such as myself).

Agency Access has been the best leads building service that I have ever used. Their consultants are committed, bright and patient, and genuinely care about their clients. I've gotten real results from this service as a commercial photographer. Highly recommend.

These guys have been spamming me for months, which in Europe, breaks GDPR rules and is illegal.

I am a creative consultant and freelance photo agent 20+ years in the advertising/commercial working with photographers and photo agents. As a photo agent over the years I used Agency Access as my go to database and now with my photographer clients I recommend it on every Marketing Overview Call! It is a crucial tool in building their hands on, smart, targeted marketing and networking lists of key contacts at Ad Agencies, Design Firms, Magazines and Corporations Directly. I help guide them in the process of creating these LISTS for their marketing and outreach and how to understand the best ways to reach their audience; social media, direct mail campaigns, eBlast campaigns, personalized follow up emails, getting meetings etc. When I refer my clients to Keith Gentile and his team I always recommend that along with their database subscription they also learn about all the services AXS provides like helping with printing and designing printed promos and using the AXS eBlast Templates for email marketing and more. I have a long standing working relationship with Keith and consider him a friend. I find him caring, supportive, loyal and very hands on with every aspect of his business and team. He is also super focused on constantly making Agency Access current and relevant to today Ad Marketplace as with the creation of FOUND a highly curated platform where hand picked photographers can advertise their work and also take advantage of other useful products and services they offer apart from Agency Access. THANKS!

They were a huge help in getting my artwork in front of more buyers... a real boost to my business!

I was listed as the wrong title on their website that people pay access for, and thus would receive dozens of emails a week from people competing for my job. The sales rep confirmed that I was listed as a "director for photography" when in reality I am a "Director of Photography" or a cinematographer which makes a huge difference. Not to mention I was told by a paying customer that I was actually listed as a Managing Art Producer. This seems like a huge leap from my original title. To my knowledge, there are no directors for photography roles at agencies. Those would just be called producers. I spent a lot of time blocking emails, explaining to people that I don't hire other DP's for my job since that's what I actually do. I think someone took some liberties with the title, not knowing how much this small detail could affect someone else s life, and that s unfortunate. Imagine getting bombarded with emails every day from people telling you that they can do your job better than you can, and that's why they should have your position? I just deleted the emails for awhile, and then I felt like it was worth the time to explain the discrepancy, but after awhile it was exhausting. I feel bad for people paying for access to these lists. The company should at least reach out to the people of whom they are posting this kind of information, and ask for their permission as well as confirmation on the accuracy of the information. Otherwise, it should just be a link to the appropriate website and/or contact form so those reaching out can do some research before sending their mass emails.
