Annual Membership Fee (paid every February, starting in 2025): € 2000

While we do not limit membership to one agency per country, all new members must be recommended by a global brand, a relevant industry association, or existing BEIC members.

A solid portfolio of work is essential, and agencies should be prepared to present their credentials to the board if requested. We ensure that every member aligns with our values and contributes meaningfully to the community.

We have strict guidelines:

• You need to prepare a motivation letter in free format. You can send it from the website below.
• You must provide 2–3 recommendation letters from global clients, associations, or current BEIC members.
• There must be no veto from existing members due to any past conflicts — this helps us maintain a friendly and productive atmosphere.
• You are also required to submit a portfolio of your recent projects (in the form of a presentation), including the dates when the events took place. Please note that the projects must be no older than two years.

All documents should be sent to mary.kirillova@beic.pro, the Managing Director of BEIC. Once received, your materials will be reviewed and presented to the BEIC Board for evaluation.

Once we receive your application, the review process takes up to 14 days. If no objections are raised by existing members, we will send you:

• Your BEIC contract and a BEIC Partners Book questionnaire (used by members to find partners in different countries), you personal BEIC password to website members access
• Your invoice and exclusive BEIC membership number for the year.
• Your BEIC logo for the current year and your profile on our website.

BEIC operates with a veto system. Existing members may veto a potential new member if there are valid concerns — for example, to avoid internal conflicts. However, direct competition is not considered a valid reason for a veto.

Additionally, your application may be paused if another agency from your country has joined within the past 12 months. We may also delay membership if, at the current stage, we do not see a clear potential for active participation and mutual value.

BEIC ensures a strong and trusted community. If concerns arise about a new applicant, existing members have the right to raise objections.

• A veto can only be used for valid reasons, and competition alone is not a valid reason.
• A veto is valid for one year and can be used against the same candidate no more than twice.
• Repeated vetoes will be reviewed by the club’s board.
• If a veto is exercised, we will provide you with a clear explanation.

Membership renews automatically each year on February 1st. If you wish to cancel, simply notify us via email at least one month in advance.

Please note that membership fees are non-refundable, as our budget is planned in advance.
