OUR SCOTLAND EVENT PROGRAMME

Vicki Miller

The Marketing Society provides an incredible networking platform to learn from others, and to share and gain new insight, but what it also does is highlight the many career opportunities that exist in all the organisations that are part of the Society and has given profile to the important role marketers and marketing departments play in any organisation.

Annabel Leckenby

I've been a member of The Marketing Society Scotland for nearly six years, and it feels like being part of a close-knit community that brings together some of Scotland’s brightest marketing minds and iconic brands. The connections I’ve made and the insights I’ve gained have been incredibly valuable in keeping up with the latest trends and staying ahead in the industry.

Pete Martin

The Marketing Society is one of the most well-connected groups in Scotland – and probably the most inspiring and enjoyable. You’ll find peers who become pals, not just business associates or even competitors. With easy outreach to London, New York, Singapore and the Middle East, the Society gives you a window on the world too.

Pete Martin, Co-Founder, Always Be Content Chair, The Marketing Society Scotland
Ashleigh Chalmers

The Marketing Society Scotland has given me sight of just how expansive the community of Scottish marketers is - and it feels great to be a part of that group and to feel the support that we offer to each other. Networking is such a crucial part of developing a fulfilled career, and the Future Leader events offer the perfect opportunity to make connections that may last a lifetime.

Ashleigh Chalmers, Account Director, Lane Media Future Leader Advisory Group Member, Scotland

I can honestly say I’ve taken inspiration from every Marketing Society event I’ve attended, from flagship events to roundtable discussions. The Society is a fantastic celebration of our profession and an incredibly supportive and motivating community to be a part of.
