Emerging players

• Time Etc: UK/US virtual assistant services platform serving executives and small businesses. Adjacent rather than direct — overlaps in the Virtual Assistant segment Strategic PA Network serves, but commercialises via service delivery rather than memberships.

Direct peers

• Chief of Staff Network: Membership and events community for Chiefs of Staff — a role that Strategic PA Network's own Awards celebrate as a standalone category. Closely comparable operating model (events, mentoring, recognition) targeting an adjacent business-support persona.
• PA Life: UK magazine and event brand for Personal Assistants and Executive Assistants. Comparable as a parallel content-plus-events community competing for the same UK PA audience and advertising/sponsorship budgets.
• PA Forum: UK membership-based networking and events community for Executive Assistants and Personal Assistants. Direct competitor evidenced by both organisations winning/competing in the 'External PA Network of the Year' category at the Strategic PA Network Awards.
• EA How To: Training, events, and membership platform for Executive Assistants. Listed alongside Strategic PA Network as an 'External PA Network of the Year' winner in 2025, evidencing overlap in target audience and educational/event offering.
• Executive Secretary Magazine: Long-running global publication and training community for executive assistants and office professionals. Comparable because it combines content, training events and awards targeting the same business-support professional persona.

Broad incumbents

• Office Angels: Major UK secretarial and business support recruitment agency. Comparable because it engages the same EA/PA talent pool and employer base, but with a recruitment-led rather than community/events-led model.
• Institute of Administrative Professionals (IAP): Established long-running US-based professional association for administrative professionals, offering education, certification and an annual conference. Comparable as a broader incumbent membership body in the same profession, although US-focused and broader in scope.
