Welcome to The Marketing Meetup! We’re thrilled to have you here as part of our community of marketers from around the world. At the heart of our gatherings, whether online or in person, is a simple yet profound value: being ‘positively lovely’. Here’s what that means for us and how we live it out:

Our Core Value: Positively Lovely… but what does that mean?!

We speak about it all the time. But here’s the four things we see as being ‘positively lovely’.

• Grounded
  We believe in advice and experience rooted in reality. It’s kind to be realistic—after all, understanding the true nature of things is empowering. We treat each other with the respect that comes from acknowledging the complexities of the real world.
• Constructive
  We focus on elevating the good rather than dwelling on the bad. Our conversations are forward-looking and optimistic. We uplift each other by highlighting what’s working well, not just pointing out what isn’t.
• Inclusive
  Everyone is welcome here, just as they are. We embrace diversity and expect all members to do the same. Whether you’re a newcomer or a regular, your presence is important to our community, and we’re all here to support one another.
• Generous
  We share our knowledge and experiences freely. In this community, there’s no room for jealousy. We believe in helping one another succeed, and we do so with open hearts and minds.

The Behaviours We Encourage

• Listening
  Good conversation starts with good listening. Instead of rushing to say the next clever thing, we listen attentively and respectfully. Every voice matters, and listening is as crucial as speaking.
• Saying Hello
  It’s the simplest word, but it can open the door to wonderful connections. You have full permission to say hello to anyone in the room. It might feel daunting, but once you’ve taken that step, you’re well on your way to a meaningful conversation. And remember, when you do start that conversation, listen!

A Safe and Welcoming Space

This only works when everyone feels psychologically safe. Upholding these values and behaviours is crucial. If someone is found to be contravening this code, they will be asked to leave the community. This isn’t just about rules; it’s about ensuring that The Marketing Meetup remains a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment for all.

Thank you for being positively lovely!
