Our purpose is to deliver what it takes to help our members become more successful and profitable in their businesses. To accomplish that goal, we provide personal and professional development programs for both owners and employees. Dues are based on each company's employee count. The Alliance brings Business Services to small and medium media companies and even individual creatives who are typically underserved in insurance and discounted business services. •  Group health, business, and life insurance at money-saving rates •  Opportunities to network with peers and collaborate with other types of media companies •  Business services like a credit union, payroll service, and collection letters •  Discounts on business essentials like software and office supplies and educational programming. Education is the cornerstone of the programs we offer.
