Future One Begins Work on 2026 Agency Universe Study

Future One, a collaboration of the Big “I” and leading independent agency companies, Agency Universe Study is one of the most comprehensive and authoritative examinations of the independent agency distribution force.
Conducted biennially, this study offers an in-depth look at the state of independent agencies—where they’re growing, how they’re evolving and what’s shaping their future. Covering everything from revenue trends and market shifts to technology adoption, the findings from previous studies have been widely cited within the industry and are always highly anticipated.
Thanks to the support of Future One and the time invested by members of the Research Task Force, the Big “I” is able to undertake this challenging and valuable research project. The next step includes a comprehensive review of the survey questionnaire during a call that will take place on Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. ET.
Our Future One partners help lead the industry forward through essential research and government affairs efforts and we sincerely appreciate the continued involvement.
