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.
For the March Marketing Meetup, we will be discussing Marketing for Good – something we know is very close to many marketers’ hearts.
Following the panel, we open up for questions and comments from the audience, followed by further discussion and sharing of experiences, tips and advice in groups.
The March Meetup is organised by the MA’s For Purpose Special Interest Group.
