The positively lovely community of 51,387+ marketers ❤️😊

The Marketing Meetup (TMM) is a global marketing community that brings marketers together to learn and network in a friendly, supportive environment.

We started in 2016 as a small meetup and has grown to over 50,000 marketers worldwide, hosting hundreds of events each year. TMM aspires to be the world’s friendliest community for marketers, where everyone feels welcome to share ideas and improve their marketing skills in a positively lovely atmosphere.

Anyone in the marketing world is welcome. TMM is designed for marketers of all levels and backgrounds – from junior marketers just starting out to some of the most senior marketing leaders in our industry looking for fresh ideas.

It’s for marketing managers, agency founders, freelancers/consultants, and anyone who wants to become a better marketer.

The community values kindness and inclusivity, so everyone is invited to “pull up a chair” and say hello.

We hosts a range of digital marketing events and IRL in multiple formats.

There are friendly in-person marketing meetups held in cities across the UK (and even internationally), as well as free marketing webinars and virtual events open to everyone.

Events are held almost every week of the year – with local meetups in various regions and online sessions that anyone can join from anywhere.

Whether it’s an evening meetup with a guest speaker or a lunchtime webinar, every event is geared toward helping marketers learn something new and connect with peers. There’s even an annual conference and special workshops on specific marketing topics throughout the year.

In-person TMM events take place in many locations. The community started in Cambridge (UK) and now has meetups all over the world, from London to Tokyo.

New locations are added when passionate local organisers get involved. If there isn’t a Marketing Meetup in your area yet, you can always join the online events or even suggest starting a local chapter (TMM supports volunteers who want to run a meetup in their city!).

Online TMM events are free to attend. Our IRL events operate on a pay-what-you-can with an optional small donation.

The community is committed to keeping events accessible to everyone, thanks to the support of generous sponsors that cover costs.

This means you can sign up for webinars and meetups without a ticket fee, making it easy to attend and learn.

Our annual conference or special training programmes there is a fee 🙂

There’s no formal membership required – anyone can attend. To join an event, simply check the upcoming events schedule on the TMM website and register for a session that interests you.

You can sign up online and you’ll receive the event details by email.

You might also want to subscribe to The Marketing Meetup newsletter to get notifications about new events and content, or join our online community, Hive.

TMM events cover a wide range of marketing topics to help you level up your skills. Depending on the session, you might pick up content marketing tips, learn about social media strategy, discover email marketing best practices, or dive into SEO and branding techniques.

The topics are always relevant to current marketing challenges – from the latest in digital marketing trends and AI tools, to creative campaign ideas and leadership advice. You’ll be learning from expert speakers (including renowned marketing leaders and also everyday practitioners with real-world experience). 

Expect a warm, welcoming vibe and a format that makes networking easy.

A typical in-person meetup feels like hanging out with friends: you arrive to a room of friendly faces, grab a drink or slice of pizza, and say hello.

There’s usually a short introduction, then a 30-minute practical talk from a guest speaker, followed by Q&A and casual networking time.

The atmosphere is deliberately non-salesy – no one is there to give you a hard sell or ego-driven pitch. Instead, everyone is encouraged to listen and build genuine human connections first, so you can relax and enjoy learning without pressure. Even online webinars have a friendly tone, often with interactive Q&A and chat so you feel part of the community.

Many Marketing Meetup talks and webinars are recorded and available on demand afterwards for anyone who couldn’t join live. TMM has a library of previous talk videos and webinar recordings on our website (and YouTube channel) where you can catch up on past sessions at your own pace.

Absolutely. Beyond the events themselves, we offer an online community space where marketers can connect, ask questions, and continue the conversation.

Our community forum is called Hive and is designed to help marketers connect and learn from each other across the world.

You can join this online community to share ideas, seek advice, or just chat with like-minded marketing folks in a friendly setting.

The sense of community doesn’t stop when the event ends – you’re welcome to engage anytime online.

Yes – The Marketing Meetup is valuable for all experience levels. If you’re a junior marketer or student, you’ll find a supportive place to learn the ropes, ask questions, and gain confidence.

If you’re an experienced marketing leader, TMM offers fresh perspectives from peers and thought leaders – helping you stay current with emerging strategies and refine your leadership approach. Seasoned professionals report leaving events with new ideas and inspiration.

Sponsors (or “partners,” as we call them) are a big part of what makes the free events possible. By partnering with The Marketing Meetup, your brand can reach an engaged community of tens of thousands of marketers in an authentic way. We work closely with our partners to create trust-filled spaces – this isn’t about plastering logos everywhere, but truly being part of something that adds value to marketers’ lives. If you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities, you can find out more on our Partner page on the website.

The Marketing Meetup runs a dedicated marketing jobs board called Positively Lovely Jobs.

It’s a job platform created by marketers, for marketers, featuring plenty of exciting opportunities. All listings include transparent salary info and clear details, so you have what you need to find your next marketing role. You can browse jobs by category, location, and skill, or post vacancies if you’re hiring.

TMM is a community-driven platform and loves featuring voices from the community. If you have a marketing story, expertise, or lesson to share, you can apply to speak at a Marketing Meetup event.

Events feature not only famous names but also everyday marketers doing remarkable work, so community members often take the stage too. If writing is more your style, TMM sometimes accepts guest contributions for the blog or newsletter. Don’t be shy – if you have something valuable to share, TMM provides a friendly platform for it.
