The Ashford Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Kent to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in ‘listen’ not ‘sell’ mode 🙂
We'll be heading back to the lovely Coachworks in Ashford, where the Platform Bar will be open and pizza will be served 😊
Think of this as a community event, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink, listen to an inspirational speaker or two, chat some more, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas.
Let’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people.

Speaker: Tom Garfield, Co-founder & Managing Director at Brand New Notebook
Topic: How to sell without selling your soul
Tom's career in selling started with a gross boss who pushed the worst sales tactics on him...he couldn't bear it, so he found a better way. You'll learn how selling well isn't about being the pushy persuader, but the expert advisor, and why if you do it right, it's your duty to sell.
--------------------
6.00 PM - Doors open - drinks, networking, smiles and plenty of chats
6.30 PM - Introduction and talks begin
7.00 PM - Talks finish, pizza arrives! Networking, listening, saying hello, and positively lovely people - a nice chilled out time 🙂
8:00 PM - End of the night - you leave with new contacts and fresh ideas
8.30 PM - No really, you do actually have to go home now.

And finally...
This is a donation ticketed event. The ticket price is yours to choose, from £3 to £30. The average community members choose to pay £8.79 🙂
We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount, please reach out to el@themarketingmeetup.com and we’ll find a ticket for you (provided capacity hasn't already been reached!) 🙂
Please let your marketing friends and colleagues know about this group too, we hope to build it into a great resource for the community over the coming months and years. Attendance will be taken at this event. If you sign up but don’t show up, this has a knock on effect on event arrangements. If it happens 3 times, you’re outta here! This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers, speakers, sponsors, and your fellow community members 🙂

See you there!
