The Marketing Meetup,

About the event

The Marketing Meetup is the world’s loveliest community (we think at least) for marketers looking to learn about their chosen craft and meet one another in a friendly, open, inclusive, and positive environment.  

We prioritise ideas over selling, and human beings over job titles.

We have 11,657 marketers in our community across the world as of 1st January 2020. This year, we'll run 140 events, publish over 100 episodes of our podcast and go out with our weekly newsletter with a 40%+ open rate.

Why should you sponsor?

We’re all marketers here, so there isn’t any point pulling the wool over your eyes when it comes to sponsorship. It’s a long game and best applied at the ‘awareness’ stage of the marketing lifecycle. With that in mind – The Marketing Meetup partners with a series of local and national brands in order to deliver our events and more to the world’s friendliest marketing community.

We aspire, very simply, to create the world’s best partnership opportunities.

This doesn’t mean splashing your logo everywhere.

Nor does it mean selling you our database.

No. Partnership with The Marketing Meetup is all about creating a genuine, long term and human level connection with marketers who are not in the market to buy on the night but will be one day.

Many throw their hands up, few are called

We only align ourselves with brands who share our values and goal of building a sustainable, friendly community – for this reason, we’ve had to turn down a reasonable amount of business in the past.

The benefit of this curated approach, however, is a community ready to be elevated who trust The Marketing Meetup to only recommend companies (and ultimately the people behind them) that are right for the group.

Moreover, our partnership options are flexible given The Marketing Meetup’s growth model. Whether you’re looking to partner with the group on a local, national, or digitally – we can work with you.

Finally, we’re happy to encourage you to go crazy. We want our partners to be just that – companies who contribute to the growth of the marketers in the community in a positive and meaningful way. If you think of some crazy idea that you think will improve the lives of the community – we want you on board!

So… all that being said, if you want to partner with the world’s friendliest marketing community to make marketers better at what they do (and get your brand name out there in the process), then hit us up – we wanna chat.

Joe Glover

I'd describe myself as an empathetic, creative, personable, entrepreneurial, proactive and happy human.

I've worked in FTSE and micro-companies. The thing I'm proudest of however is my work as the Founder of The Marketing Meetup. I created the Meetup as a solution to my own need to learn about my chosen craft and meet other marketers but in an environment which values listening and being positively lovely over sales and selfishness.

Through hard work, a bit of luck, and the efforts of a tonne of amazing people this has turned into a community of 11,000+ marketers across 14 locations in the UK and US, with monthly events, regular podcasts, workshops and loads more.

As a result of the success of The Marketing Meetup, I've also rolled out my agency - Empath Marketing. Here, I will be helping companies begin to see how the marketing department can be a value driver, rather than just a cost centre.

In 2017, The Marketing Meetup was voted as Cambridge's Favourite Networking event. In 2018, I was selected as 50 marketers under the age of 30 from around the UK to be part of 'The Founding 50' at The School of Marketing. In 2019, I was named one the Cofinitive 'Ones to Watch' list and named the Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Cambridgeshire region.

I love what I do, and hope to spread a little of that joy through helping other people live a happy life.
