Hannah Anderson
Despite being an active user of social media since the start, Hannah Anderson never actually thought that she’d work in a field related to it. She always wanted to be a teacher instead of going into the social media or business industry.
Hannah started her training to become a teacher but still had a passion for social media. She was secretly able to build a network of over 100,000 followers on Facebook and thought it was just a hobby.
By 2014, she had already hit 600,000 followers on her pages, which made her realise the power of social media for the first time in her life. This pushed her into a field related to social media.
Fast-forward to today, Hannah is now the co-founder of a company named Social Chain. Vogue has also featured her as one of the top 25 influential women of the United Kingdom.
Hannah Anderson’s talks with The Marketing Meetup:
How we set up Zoom for Marketing Meetup Webinars
Zoom has become one of The Marketing Meetup’s most important bits of software.
And while we’ve all no doubt set up many a Zoom meeting for the purposes of quizzes and more, learning about how to do it for webinars wasn’t all that easy. So, we thought we’d create a (not short) video, on what the background operation of setting a Zoom webinar looks like.
A Marketing Masterclass: Son of a Tailor
Part of the reason I love running The Marketing Meetup is that I love seeing great marketing in action. As Rand Fishkin puts it, ‘marketing done well can be a noble act’, because it matches a ‘need’ to a solution, which ultimately improves someone’s life.
So when a company absolutely markets the sh*t out of me in a compelling way, I can’t help but feel like I want to 1) sit back and clap, and 2) learn as much as I can from them.

There is so many amazing marketing books out there, it’s difficult to keep up. Here is our recommended reading for marketers everywhere.
How marketers should be looking to up skill in 2020
Now is the time many marketers are looking to up skill. Here’s the areas we would be focusing our attention in 2020:

How I wrote a song which meant we ended up working with Fiverr. Because sometimes, you have to do things differently.
CV support for The Marketing Meetup Community, provided by Brand Recruitment and Pitch Consultants
Things are hard right now. Chances are, they will get even tougher.
