About this Event

The Marketing Meetup is a global community for marketers, and the marketing-curious. This is your space to keep up to date and meet like minds, in an environment that prioritises kindness and learning you can actually put into action.

We're heading back to the lovely Clockwise for this event, where the vibes are chill and friendly, and you’ll be welcomed in with big smiles and cheerful chat 🙂

Come say hello, grab a snack, listen to a speaker or two to get the ideas flowing, and savour the time to have real conversations with real humans. No selling or networking bingo, just good people being good people.

This is the kind of night where you walk home at the end thinking, "I’m not the only one, after all."

Let’s have a fab night with some fab people. You’re invited, of course.

Speaker: Eloise Leeson-Smith, Founder & Linguist at Olim | Next-Level Communications

Topic: Know What You Stand For — Then Say It!

This talk explores the power of conscious communication: why getting clarity on your values isn't just a feel-good exercise, but a direct route to differentiating your messaging, building lasting trust, and making every editorial decision easier (especially those AI ones...)

We'll explore language, talk about talking, and becoming a conscious communicator. You'll learn how the words we choose, the structures we use, and the stories we tell shape customer perceptions, and why knowing your values as a business is a vital competitive edge.

Most importantly, you'll walk away with practical, no-fluff frameworks to help you use those values to make marketing decisions, and delight your audience.

Here's how the evening unfolds:

6:00 pm Doors open: snacks, smiles, warm welcomes, and that lovely buzz of people arriving

6:30 pm A hello from us, then over to our speakers

7:15 pm Talks done, and plenty of time for open conversation, new connections, and zero pressure chatting

8:00 pm Home time, with new connections, ideas in your head, and a smile on your face :)

Tickets are pay-what-you-like, from £5 to £50 (the average price folks choose is £11.38 :)

We genuinely mean it when we say everyone is welcome here. So, if the minimum donation is a stretch right now, please just reach out to [email protected]. We'll always do our best to include you.

If you know a marketer who'd love this, please do pass it on. This community grows one person at a time, thanks to the wonderful members - like you - spreading the word.

Just one little ask: if you sign up and can't make it, please let us know so we can offer your spot to someone else. We know that certain things crop up (we’re only human!), but after three unnotified no-shows we'll need to prioritise other community members, out of fairness to everyone who puts time and heart into making these evenings happen. 🙂

See you there!
