About this Event
The Ottawa Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Ottawa to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂
We're meeting at Collab Space in Ottawa, and 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.
--------------------
Speakers: Natalie Vasylkiv, Photographer & Content Creator, and Rachel Cogan, Chief of Staff Marketing & Brand Strategist
Topic: A fireside chat on Branding, and how it shapes perception
The evenings talk is a fire side chat about “Branding” and how it shapes how others perceive you or your business, and how it directly influences trust, credibility, and recognition.
Effective branding aligns messaging, visuals, and experience, creating a cohesive and memorable impression. Ultimately, whether personal or corporate, strong branding turns perception into influence—and influence into opportunity.
Come join us along with speakers Natalie Vasylkiv ( @24th.sense.agency & https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-vasylkiv ) Photographer & Content Creator, & Rachel Cogan (Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/racheljcogan/) Chief of Staff | Marketing & Brand Strategist | Creative Storyteller & Producer | Full Stack Customer Journey Architect | e-Commerce Specialist in CPG, Fashion & Beauty | Sports Evangelist | Guest Host, who will share their perspective of how to self brand. We'll look forward to an amazing conversation with these two legends!

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 RSVP 'Yes' and then do not come, you will receive a strike. Three strikes and you're outta here!
