We’re back! After a small hiatus (ok it turned out to be an entire year but who’s counting?) Social Circle is back and it’s now Social Circle 2.0 – that means more innovations, more amazing campaigns and even more digital chat than you can shake a stick at!

In case you have forgotten (we know, we know it’s been a while) Social Circle was born from monthly get-togethers between friends, where we’d gather round with a few drinks and chat about the latest in social media marketing. We wanted to be better for ourselves, for our clients, and because we just really love digital media.

So, we decided to open the circle to other digital marketers, with the goal to take social to the next level and share inspirational, instant, and actionable insights.

We’ll be meeting Upstairs at 1000 Trades, 16 Frederick St, Birmingham B1 3HE on Thursday 9th May, at 6pm GMT.

Here’s how it will go…

➡️ We’ll start with brief introductions

➡️ We’ll run through new innovations and trends in social media marketing

➡️ We’ve got a guest talk from TBA

➡️ We’ll open it up to the circle to hear about any trends, campaigns or innovations for 2024 that are getting you excited

➡️ We’ll likely stay for another drink and continue networking

Address:

Upstairs at 1000 Trades, 16 Frederick St, Birmingham B1 3HE

Everyone is welcome to join the discussions so that we can learn from each other. Every month we share the insights across our social channels and also on our podcast (yep that is back too!) after the event so nothing shared in the Circle is forgotten.

So join our Circle, grab a drink, and get ready for Social Circle 2.0! #YouCanSitWithUs

The Birmingham Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Birmingham to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in ‘listen’ not ‘sell’ mode 🙂

We’re back in our lovely new venue for this one, at the Assay Studios in Newhall St. We just want to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time.

Think of this as a community event, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink, listen to an inspirational speaker or two, chat some more, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas.

Let’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people.

And finally…

This is a donation ticketed event. The ticket price is yours to choose, from £3 to £30 🙂

We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount, please reach out to el@themarketingmeetup.com and we’ll find a ticket for you (provided capacity hasn’t already been reached!) 🙂

Please let your marketing friends and colleagues know about this group too, I hope to build it into a great resource for the community over the coming months and years. Attendance will be taken at this event. If you sign up but don’t show up, this has a knock on effect on event arrangements. If it happens 3 times, you’re outta here! This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers, speakers, sponsors, and your fellow community members 🙂
