About this Event

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

We're back in the awesome MK:U Innovation Hub for this one. We just want to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time.

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: Leesa Morris, Brand Story Copywriter & Published Author

Topic: How to Tell a Brand Story That’s All About Your Ideal Client

Your ideal clients have a problem.

There’s something they want, and something standing in their way. They wake up thinking about it, and lie awake at night trying to solve it.

So, why are you trying to connect with them by talking about you?

In the nicest possible way, your ideal clients don’t care about your story; they care about their own. The way to reach them is to tell their story and plant yourself squarely in the middle of it.

Join Leesa for a journey through the world of brand storytelling. We’ll venture into the murky depths of beige marketing, confront the bad guys, and discover the map to the promised land of business growth and right-fit clients.  

Your key takeaways:

• Identify the three common marketing bad guys that make good businesses invisible

• Learn why speaking to the practical problem is only half the story

• Get the exact framework for telling your brand story in a way that lands in the hearts and souls of the people you’re trying to reach

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

The format of the night:

6:00 pm - doors open - drinks, networking, and smiles

6:30 pm - introduction and talks begin

7:00 pm - talks finish, networking, listening, saying hello, and positively lovely people

7:45 pm - end of the night - you leave with new contacts and fresh ideas

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

In partnership with MK:U. The MK:U Innovation Hub helps to create, develop and grow new ideas by prioritising pioneering mindsets and idea generation. It showcases the amazing talent in Milton Keynes through a community of like-minded innovators in the heart of the city.

Supported by Twist Consultancy, reshaping your marketing strategy, delivery, and training. Find out more at twistconsultancy.co.uk/

Supported by The Keynote Club, a public speaking club for marketers. TKC is a safe and friendly space for marketing folk to come together, connect and exercise our public speaking muscles. Get involved at www.thekeynoteclub.com

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

And finally...

This is a donation ticketed event. The entry cost is yours to choose, from £5 to £50 (the average attendees 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 🙂

See you there!
