The Reading Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Reading to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂
We're back at the awesome Dog House offices in Friar St 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: Simon Barnett, Chief Brainpower Officer, Perfectly Picked
Topic: Brainpower. How to harness your most important marketing tool
Despite all the hype, the best marketers don’t succeed by buying the latest tech, using cheat sheets or following what everyone else does. They use their brains.
So if you’re fed up with a constant diet of AI-this and Chat-GPT that, this could be ideal for you.
In this talk you’ll learn how to make strategic marketing brainpower your secret sauce and how even the smallest drizzle can make a remarkable difference.
You will learn:
- When, how and why you need to use brainpower to address strategic challenges
- Which parts of the marketing mix need the most brainpower
- Powerful, relatable examples in both B2B and B2C
- Simple frameworks to get the most out of your marketing brain
--------------------
The format of the night:
6.00 PM - Doors open - drinks, networking, and smiles
6.30 PM - Introduction and talks begin
7.15 PM - Talks finish, networking, listening, saying hello, and positively lovely people - a nice chilled out time 🙂
8:00 PM - End of the night - you leave with new contacts and fresh ideas
