The Marketing Meetup IRL: Manchester

The Manchester Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Manchester to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂

We'll be heading back to the Autotrader offices, in their new location in Circle Square, to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time. Please look out for TMM signs on the night, which will point you to the right entrance for the venue! :)

Think of this as a community event, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink, listen to an inspirational speaker or two, chat some more, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas.

Let’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people.

--------------------

Speaker: Tonina Takova, Head of Strategy at Social for Good

Topic: Marketing in the age of the (social) lurker

Does anyone else feel like social media has become a bit… crap lately?

Engagement is down.

Growth is slower.

And somehow, our CMO Jim still expects more.

If you’ve found yourself questioning whether it’s your content, your strategy, or just you ... you’re not alone.

In this session, you will learn:

- Why engagement is declining and why that doesn’t mean your work isn’t working

- What “quiet consumption” actually looks like, and how audience behaviour is changing

- What to measure instead of likes, comments and follower growth

- Bonus: How to confidently push back when stakeholders question performance

--------------------

The format of the night:

6.00 pm - Doors Open - Drinks, Networking, and smiles

6.30 pm - Introduction and Talks Begin

7.15 pm - Talks Finish, Networking, Listening, Saying Hello, and Positively Lovely People - A nice chilled out time 🙂

8.00 pm - End of the night - you leave with new contacts and fresh ideas

And finally...

This is a donation ticketed event. The ticket price is yours to choose, from £5 to £50 (the average TMM attendes choose to pay £11.38 🙂 )

We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll find a ticket for you (provided capacity hasn't already been reached!) 🙂

Please let your marketing friends and colleagues know about this group too, I hope to build it into a great resource for the community over the coming months and years. Attendance will be taken at this event. If you sign up but don’t show up, this has a knock on effect on event arrangements. If it happens 3 times, you’re outta here! This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers, speakers, sponsors, and your fellow community members 🙂
