The Newcastle Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Newcastle to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in ‘listen’ not ‘sell’ mode 🙂
We’ll be meeting back at the lovely Grainger House 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: Laurie Stirling, Business Growth Strategist
Topic: How to Scale When You’re the Talent
You can’t scale a marketing business if everything depends on you. For marketers who are the strategist, creator, and delivery engine, growth often leads to longer hours, not higher profits. This talk breaks down why that happens and what to do instead.
Learn how to identify the real constraints in your business, restructure how work flows through you, and create the capacity needed to grow revenue without burning out.
Your speaker!

She supports marketers to step fully into their CEO role, increasing capacity, improving profitability, and building delivery models that do not rely solely on them.

And finally…
This is a donation ticketed event. The ticket price is yours to choose, from £5 to £50 (the average attendees choose to pay £11.38 🙂
We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount of £1, 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 🙂
