A positively lovely home for marketers

Hive is the free, online community space at the heart of The Marketing Meetup.

It’s where marketers come to think out loud, ask honest questions, share what’s actually going on at work, and feel a little less like they’re doing this job alone. Come as you are, there’s no pressure to perform here. Just real people, doing real marketing jobs, supporting each other as they go πŸ™‚

First, a bit of context

The Marketing Meetup has always been about creating spaces that feel ‘positively lovely’.

Our events, webinars and conference are built on the same belief: that marketing is better when people feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and kind. Hive exists because not everything fits neatly into a talk, a webinar, or a one-hour session.

Some questions arrive mid-week, some decisions need a sounding board, not a spotlight and LinkedIn doesn’t feel like the right place. Hive is that in-between space.

Hive and mentorship

Hive is also the starting point for mentorship at The Marketing Meetup.

We run peer mentorship cohorts: small groups of six marketers, matched by role or experience, who meet regularly over three months to think things through together. No presentations, no gurus, no one telling you what to do. Just a small group of likeminded folk who get where you are in your career, because they’re either right there with you or not far behind.

The conversations tend to go to the places that don’t fit in a webinar. Sticky stakeholder situations. Pricing your work. Second-guessing a big decision. Feeling stretched and not knowing who to tell. The kind of stuff that’s hard to Google and harder to bring up with your manager.

Want a spot on the list?

Fill in the form below and we’ll reach out when a group that looks like a good fit for you is about to open. No commitment needed right now, just a place on the list.

Every cohort is facilitated, so there’s always someone holding the space and making sure it stays useful and focused. And because the groups are small and carefully matched, it doesn’t take long before it starts to feel like the most honest conversation you have about work all month.

We’ve had cohorts for marketing managers, freelancers, agency owners, CMOs:

An incredibly rewarding, supportive experience. It’s added to my personal growth, my marketing skillset, and my job performance.

Charlotte Hill

CMO Cohort

It felt different to other spaces because everyone’s a peer. You can just say things as they are, without holding up a shiny version of yourself.

Karen Webber

Freelance Cohort

The sessions helped me make clearer, more confident decisions for my team and business. I’d recommend it to anyone working through real challenges.

Anthony Lieu

CMO Cohort

I’ve always left the sessions buzzing and inspired to put ideas into practice. It’s a motivating, non-judgmental space where you can really think.

Jonnie Nash

Marketing Executive Cohort

New cohorts open every few months, and the list fills fast. Register your interest and you’ll be the first to know when a group that’s right for you is about to launch β†’
