The Edinburgh Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Edinburgh to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂
We'll be meeting back at the wonderful Emperor offices for this one 🙂 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: Jak Carlin, Managing Director at Alleyoop
Jak has spent his career connecting brands with groups of people.
Starting as a Graduate Sales Trainee for Europe's largest broadcast media business - Bauer Media - Jak sold radio advertising, brand solutions and creative for Edinburgh's market leading Radio Forth. Progressing through to Sales Director for Bauer Media Scotland, he set up his agency Alleyoop in April 2022.
Selling marketing is really simple. Excite people about the proposition and bring them on the journey with you... Then actually deliver what you promised.
The 'creative-led sell' will help you to close more deals, for more money.
• How to pitch to clients
• How to sell creative services
• How creative and sales can work together, rather than against each other

And finally...
This is a donation ticketed event. The ticket price is yours to choose, from £3 to £30 🙂 The evening will include a little food (usually pizza) and soft drink. TMM will offer a small selection of alcoholic drinks free of charge.
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, I 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!
