The Marketing Meetup

👋👋 Hi - we're The Marketing Meetup and this is the story of why we're here. In 2016 our founder was a lonely marketer who was terrified of networking events: the business cards. The sales pitches. The lack of any kind of 'realness' 😱 And so he started an event in a canteen in Cambridge. A speaker to learn from. A buffet/pizza. A warm vibe, and the encouragement to look after each other a bit (we call that being 'positively lovely'). Today, TMM is way more than it was ever supposed to be. A community of tens of thousands strong running hundreds of events around the world for a group of genuinely lovely humans. It's been an unexpected, wonderful journey. A journey of community. A journey we're grateful to be part of. If you'd like to be part of it - join one of our events or get our newsletter. We're here to help you in the ways you need. For a taster of what goes on at TMM see our video below 👇 Have a lovely day ✌️✌️

When we have a week with 13 events, the thought of then having to come up with some social media posts on top of everything else can seem a touch overwhelming. But then we realised that you incredible folks have done all the work for us. Sharing your experiences in towns and cities all over the UK 🙌 Pictures of pizza, peanut butter, positivity and most of all, lovely people. We appreciate every single last one of you and the great energy you bring to the community. Have a look at some of the stories shared so far this week 👇 #marketing #themarketingmeetup

Next Tuesday :) You're invited.

Tomorrow!

We're mixing up this next season by inviting the experts that marketers have to work with day to day. First up, two wonderful humans who will help us get our heads around what is important to finance teams so we can work better together. If you had a question for Lee Maughan or Stuart Hurst and can't make the session, what would you ask them? #themarketingmeetup #marketing #finance

Networking and talking about ourselves can be tricky. Our friend, Eloise Leeson-Smith, writes a wonderful newsletter and this one really hit home so we thought we'd share. Who else has fallen into the trap of asking the obvious, "Sooooooo, what do you do?" #networking #themarketingmeetup

Meet Cai. He's sort of become an advert for what a Marketing Meetup event is all about. Some facts about Cai: - He works in marketing (self proclaimed data geek) - He helps run the Manchester Meetup event - He is a phenomenal athlete - He is generous (always making sure people are having a good time) - He is on his own journey of confidence and self growth helping run The Key Note Club This means if you meet Cai at one of our events, the conversation could go in one of many directions. But the fact he is such a lovely chap means you're guaranteed to enjoy chatting with him. Our community is full of folks like Cai who come with a giving mindset. And that makes for a very special set of events. #bemorecai #themarketingmeetup

As marketers, we need to understand how things work beyond our own department. And so we've brought in some amazing humans to talk about what marketers need to know about theirs! From sales & finance right up to the CEO. How do other people see marketing and how can we better work together? In the coming weeks, you'll find out!
