Off the Record: A Dinner for Marcomm Truths

Hi, I’m a Marketer, and I’ve had a week.

In an industry built on "perfect" personas and curated brand voices, we rarely get the chance to drop the mask. We spend our days making everyone else look good, while navigating the messy, unspoken realities of the corporate world behind the scenes.

Off the Record: A Dinner for Marcomm Truths is where the podcast comes to life. We’re moving the conversation from your headphones to the dinner table. This is an invite-only evening for marketing, comms, and PR leaders to discuss the stuff we usually only whisper about in DMs.

No stiff networking. No elevator pitches. No jargon. Just the raw, unfiltered truth over great food and even better company.

We’ve taken the most burning themes from our Off the Record podcast and turned them into live table sessions. We will be drawing questions from a jar and having a real, raw conversation about them

Some topics we will cover include:

- Personal branding: we devote ourselves to building brands but are we afraid to put our personal brands out there?

- Office Politics: How do you deal with colleagues claiming credit for your work?

- Pay Rises, Promotions and Mental well-being : When is the right time to move on?
