The Winchester Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Winchester to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂
We'll be back at the lovely Pump House Winchester 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: Lotti Bruce, Brand & Marketing Director at THE PIG hotels
Topic: Growing a brand without losing its soul
Lotti Bruce is Brand & Marketing Director at THE PIG hotels, the much-loved collection of restaurants with rooms rooted in the kitchen garden and the English countryside.
With a passion for storytelling and building brands that feel authentic, Lotti has spent her career shaping experiences that connect with people on a deeper level. Having been with THE PIG for nearly 12 years, she has been a part of the team that has grown the group from just a handful of hotels to nine PIGs and now a pub! She champions creative campaigns that celebrate local food, nature-led escapes, and the personalities that make each hotel unique – she joins us in a fireside chat to dig deep into what makes guests keep coming back.

And finally...
This is a donation ticketed event. Entry price is yours to choose, from £3 to £30 (the average community members choose to pay £8.79 🙂
We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount, 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, we 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 🙂

See you there!
