TMM IRL: Boards can’t ignore growth, but are they ignoring you?

Emma Lowndes, Fractional CMO and Board Advisor

The Buckinghamshire Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Buckinghamshire to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂

We'll be back at the lovely Patch for this one, and we just want to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time.

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: Emma Lowndes, Fractional CMO and Board Advisor
Topic: Boards can’t ignore growth, but are they ignoring you?

Boards want growth but can overlook the most powerful engine driving it - marketing. Hear how to position and deliver marketing as the commercial powerhouse it is. Learn how to speak the board’s language and secure the marketing investment the business needs.

Emma will share anonymised real-world examples and practical tips from over 25 years steering sales and marketing teams through high-stakes boardroom decisions in scale-ups, corporates, and PE-backed ventures.

Bring your own anonymised challenges to get the most from the session.

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!
