SUMMARY:TMM IRL: From Dogs to Giraffes – Marketing models with a twist
DESCRIPTION:The Northampton Marketing Meetup is an informal\, friendly place for the marketers of Northants to meet\, learn\, and share knowledge with one another. Come in ‘listen’ not ‘sell’ mode 🙂 \nWe’re heading back to the lovely Vulcan Works for this one\, and we just want to get together\, say hello\, have a chat\, and have a nice time. \nThink 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. \nLet’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people. \n——————– \nSpeaker: Nick Crawford\, Founder of Twist Consultacy\nTopic: From Dogs to Giraffes: Marketing models with a twist \nIf your marketing isn’t relevant\, it’s ignored. In this practical\, fun session\, Nick shares his Relevance to Engagement Blueprint. A simple\, actionable framework you can apply straight away to plan smarter campaigns. And to keep things memorable? The whole idea comes to life through balloon modelling (yes\, there will be a dog\, a giraffe and even a rabbit). \nKey Takeaways:\n– STP a classic model: Learn how to segment\, target\, and position with confidence so you never treat every customer the same.\n– Keep it relevant: Use the Relevance to Engagement Blueprint to match the right message to the right moment in your customer’s journey.\n– Lessons that stick: Experience how the same marketing principles can lead to very different outcomes\, just like balloon modelling\, where the same twists create different animals. \nJoin us for a fresh perspective on campaign planning and leave with a ready-to-use blueprint to make your marketing more relevant\, more engaging\, and more effective. \n——————– \nThe format of the night: \n6:00 pm – doors open – drinks\, networking\, and smiles\n6:30 pm – introduction and talks begin\n7:00 pm – talks finish\, networking\, listening\, saying hello\, and positively lovely people\n7:45 pm – end of the night – you leave with new contacts and fresh ideas \n——————–\nPartnered with Digital Northants\, putting local businesses in touch with digital companies who can help solve their problems\, to encourage the growth of business in Northamptonshire. Check them out at https://digitalnorthants.com/ \nPartnered with The ONE Group\, whose recruitment team bridges the gap between marketing professionals and a vast network of Northamptonshire businesses\, empowering career progression at every stage with unmissable opportunities and job-hunting support. Read more at TheOneGroup.co.uk \nPartnered with Vulcan Works\, helping entrepreneurs bring world challenging ideas to life. A workspace and community for innovative creatives. Check them out at VulcanWorks.co.uk\n——————– \nAnd finally… \nThis is a donation ticketed event. The ticket price is yours to choose\, from £3 to £30 (the average attendees choose to pay £8.79 🙂 \nWe 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!) 🙂 \nPlease let your marketing friends and colleagues know about this group too\, we 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 🙂 \n——————–\nSee you there!
