👋 I'm Joe. Eight years ago I was the guy who was too shy to speak to people at networking events. Even when I did pluck up the courage, it felt all people valued was my job title or my budget rather than me as a person.I knew I wanted to meet other marketers and learn about marketing in a safe space, so when I couldn't find it, I made it.The Marketing Meetup is a positively lovely community for marketers. (Basically, we all look after each other and treat one another as people first 😊)Through good luck and hard work, in the years since, I (as part of a big team effort!) have built a global community of 50,000+ lovely marketers with a social following of 250k+.Each week, we're lucky to have amazing guest speakers such as Mark Ritson, Rory Sutherland, Seth Godin and many more share time with our community - educating and connecting us all.You should join one of our webinars, our membership, or the newsletter: I think you'd get a lot from all of them. Some places I have spoken/been a guest on include: - Festival of Marketing,- Innocent Smoothies Internal Sessions,- Everyone Hates Marketers Podcast with Louis Grenier, - The Next Web- Marketing Week Columnist,- Fiverr Webinar Series, - VeryGoodCopy- GREENHOUSE Jersey- SocialDay- Freelancer Magazine,- Startup Summit, - Marketing News Canada,- Digital DNA, - Moneysupermarket internal inspiration event,- The Marketing Meetup (of course), - Durham University guest lecturer, - London College of Fashion guest lecturer, - Norwich University of the Arts guest lecturer,- Essex University Incubator guest lecturer - Cambridge University Judge Business School panelist, - Linkjoy Social Media Summit- Habitz Podcast with Mike WinnetAnd quite a lot of other places/podcasts. By all means get in touch with speaking/podcast ops. Or, just say hello :)
