Networking events can be daunting and walking into a room of people can certainly feel overwhelming – there’s also the fear that we’re just going to be sold to! That’s why The Marketing Meetup exists. The Marketing Meetup is a friendly, fun and informal evening that allows like-minded people to share ideas and learn new things, all in a safe setting.
If you haven’t been to one before check out this video to get a feel for what it’s like.

Speakers
Building social media communities with real business impact.
The essential elements your business needs to create an effective and impactful social media community.
Whatever your sector, and drawing on personal experience, I outline how understanding shared problems and audience insights can help you create social media content that makes your audience say, “that’s me.”
In this talk, you will learn about:
- Why a sense of belonging matters more than sales content on social.
- The four pillars of community on social media, with real examples of each in action.
- The questions that reveal what genuinely connects your audience
Is your audience smarter than your strategy document?
How brands are cutting through the noise on social in 2026
Today’s audiences have spent years watching brands market to them. They’ve seen campaigns soar and crash, creators build businesses from scratch and brands navigate public scrutiny in real time. As a result, consumers are more commercially aware than ever before and can now spot a ‘strategy’ from a mile off.
The brands winning attention in 2026 understand this. Rather than broadcasting messages at people, they’re listening to the conversations already happening and building products, content and campaigns informed by genuine audience insight.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- What’s changed in audience behaviour
- What brands can learn from the conversations happening around them
- How to turn those insights into better content, campaigns and products
