The Photo Marketing Community™ (Dorset) - 28th January 2026

These friendly, in-person photography marketing-focused meetups exist to help Dorset, UK-based photographers stay visible, confident and consistent with their marketing.
They are a chance for photographers in Poole and surrounding areas to meet with host, Zoe Hiljemark - a local PR and marketing expert who has been consulting UK and international photographers for over a decade - and fellow local photo pros, to discuss marketing and business, to get support, inspiration and motivation.
Established in 2024, these monthly events bring together professional photographers from across Dorset, and are a friendly space for photographers to network, prioritise and discuss marketing.
Don't struggle on alone at home! Join us and feel more connected, more motivated, inspired and encouraged, as well as more confident in promoting your work.

• A chance to get help from an experienced photography marketing expert and mentor
• Network with like-minded pro photographers without competition or pressure
• A friendly, supportive community - professional photographers of all genres are welcome
• A focus on marketing to help you grow your business
• Feel less alone running a photography business
• Stay consistent with marketing instead of procrastinating
• Get clarity, reassurance and guidance around what marketing actually works in 2026

We meet once per month (except in August (summer break), and in December, the format changes slightly as we have an (optional) festive lunch instead.
The idea is to come together, discuss, share and explore marketing ideas, tactics and what's working now, over a coffee. It's an informal meetup where we prioritise talking business, but also make connections and form friendships.
It's a welcoming group space and the conversations are varied and interesting each time, with strategic input from me, a PR and marketing consultant and mentor to photographers.
Book for the next event (usually held on the last Wednesday of the month) or purchase a discounted Annual Pass (only available until 28 Jan 2026) and attend all, or as many of the events as you can, throughout 2026.
