The Ottawa Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Ottawa to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in ‘listen’ not ‘sell’ mode 🙂

We’re meeting at Collab Space in Ottawa, 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: Natalie Vasylkiv, Photographer & Content Creator, & Julia Grandoni Co-Founder @ Creative Junii, UGC & Content Marketing
Topic: A fireside chat on Branding, and how it shapes perception

The evening’s talk is a fireside chat about “Branding” and how it shapes how others perceive you or your business, and how it directly influences trust, credibility, and recognition.

Effective branding aligns messaging, visuals, and experience, creating a cohesive and memorable impression. Ultimately, whether personal or corporate, strong branding turns perception into influence—and influence into opportunity.

Come join us along with our guest speakers such as Natalie Vasylkiv ( @24th.sense.agency & https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-vasylkiv ) Photographer & Content Creator, and others for our open ask me anything ready to answer your questions on Branding!

And finally…

We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford a ticket, please reach out to el@themarketingmeetup.com and we’ll see what we can do to help (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 RSVP ‘Yes’ and then do not come, you will receive a strike. Three strikes and you’re outta here! This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers, speakers, sponsors, and your fellow community members 🙂
