In 2023, the Marketing Association is launching a monthly ‘Marketing Meetup’ at our offices in Parnell. This will be a relaxed get-together over drinks & nibbles and with lots of opportunity to chat to your fellow marketers.
We start with a short panel or presentation to introduce the topic and then open up for questions and comments from the audience, followed by further discussion and sharing of experiences, tips and advice in groups.
The Monthly Marketing Meetups are organised by the MA’s Special Interest Groups and will be held once a month from February to November.
At the April Marketing Meetup a panel of experienced marketers will discuss whether your martech stack fit your needs.
According to chiefmartec.com, the average enterprise uses a staggering 120 martech tools! It’s no wonder then that understanding what marketing technology you really need is a high priority for marketers.
Join us on 18 April at 5.30pm to hear from a group of seasoned marketers who will share what martech has worked most effectively for their organisations. Find out what helped them meet their marketing goals such as better customer engagement and achieving ROI from marketing spend. We will also discuss technologies like AI and how they fit into the ideal martech stack.
This is an excellent opportunity for you to engage in a lively discussion and network with your peers, whether you’re a B2B or B2C marketer.
