The Ipswich Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Ipswich to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode đ
We'll be meeting back at the lovely Paddy & Scott's 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. Weâll 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.
Letâs have a lovely night in the company of some amazinâ people.

Topic: Creativity that cuts through: what Cannes Lions 2025 taught us about marketing that really makes a difference
