The Milton Keynes Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Milton Keynes to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂
We're back at the awesome MK:U Innovation Hub 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: Andrew Cock-Starkey, Founder at Optimisey
Title: SEO - What to Do When You Can’t Do It All
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) can feel like this massive thing you "should" be doing, but between everything else on your plate, where on earth do you even start? Especially when you've only got an hour here and there to tackle it?
Join the amazing Andrew Cock-Starkey for a brilliantly practical session that'll show you exactly what to do with those precious SEO power hours. Whether you're a solo business owner juggling everything, part of a small marketing team, or working in a larger organisation where SEO isn't anyone's dedicated focus, this one's for you.
Why? Because SEO isn't just essential for marketing, it's something every marketer can make a real impact with, one focused hour at a time.
In this session, Andrew will share:
- The 3 core SEO pillars that actually make a difference (content, technical, and links)
- Which simple changes give you the biggest wins with the least fuss
- Brilliant free and low-cost tools that'll become your new best friends
- The common mistakes that waste your precious time (so you can avoid them)
- How to measure your success and make the case for more resources
You'll leave feeling genuinely excited about SEO (promise) with a clear action plan for your next available hour.
Perfect for anyone who needs SEO wins but grabs time for it whenever they can. Which is most of us, right?

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!
