The Marketing Meetup is a global community for marketers, and the marketing-curious. This is your space to keep up to date and meet like minds, in an environment that prioritises kindness and learning you can actually put into action.
We’re heading back to the lovely 1 Mill St for this event, where the vibes are chill and friendly, and you’ll be welcomed in with big smiles and cheerful chat 🙂
Come say hello, grab a snack, listen to a speaker or two to get the ideas flowing, and savour the time to have real conversations with real humans. No selling or networking bingo, just good people being good people.
This is the kind of night where you walk home at the end thinking, “I’m not the only one, after all.”
Let’s have a fab night with some fab people. You’re invited, of course.

Speaker: Laura Chamberlain, Professor of Marketing at the University of Warwick
Topic: The Messy Sparks of Marketing – the three human skills that are your glimmers of hope
Humans are messy. Contradictory, emotional, irrational, and utterly brilliant. In a world increasingly driven by AI, that messiness isn’t a problem to be solved. It’s where the sparks are. The inspiration, the connection, the fizzy unpredictable magic that makes marketing the most exciting discipline there is.
In this session, Laura makes the case for doubling down on being human in an AI world. Drawing on her research, her writing, and her work with marketers at every stage of their careers, she explores three human skills that AI simply cannot replicate and why they matter more right now than any tool, platform, or prompt.
Laura will leave you with plenty to think about and a few things to try, to play with and to do.

Just one little ask: if you sign up and can’t make it, please let us know so we can offer your spot to someone else. We know that certain things crop up (we’re only human!), but after three unnotified no-shows we’ll need to prioritise other community members, out of fairness to everyone who puts time and heart into making these evenings happen. 🙂
