Duck Tales : Treasure of the community

What happens when you throw a bunch of Lancashire's marketing folk into a café in Rawtenstall? Turns out, proper magic - and we're not just saying that.

March's The Marketing Meetup Lancashire took over The Chubby Duck Café, and blimey, what a night it was. Nearly 40 marketing minds from across the county squeezed in, brews in hand, ready for a natter about all things SEO with the brilliant Simon Dalley.

Mike from StopPress summed it up: "There's something special about Lancashire marketers. No showing off, no fancy jargon - just proper folk helping each other out. That's what these meetups are all about."

The best bit? Watching people from all across the region connecting and sharing stories. Marketing can be a lonely gig, one fraught with self-confidence hurdles and a pretty fast moving culture but, again we showed that when we share what works, everyone walks away winning.

Our host from The Chubby Duck couldn't believe the buzz: "I've never seen so many marketers in one room actually enjoying themselves! You lot are welcome back anytime."

WHAT'S NEXT, THEN?
If you missed out on this one, don't worry your head about it. We're already sorting the next meetup.

Fancy being part of Lancashire's most positively lovely marketing community? Course you do. Pizza, beer, and a room full of folk who get what you're going through.

ABOUT THE MARKETING MEETUP LANCASHIRE
We're building something special here - a community of marketers who actually give a toss about helping each other out. No egos, no sales pitches, just good people sharing what works. It's the global TMM brand but with a proper Red Rose twist.

And a massive thanks to The Chubby Duck for hosting us. The brews were spot on, the bacon butties and fries were brilliant. Wanna head back? Why not check out their 'Working Station' offer. Mon - Fri 8am - 3pm from £20pp incl. coffee, brunch, unlimited water and WiFi. 

See you at the next one. Bring your questions, your stories, and your appetite - both for knowledge and whatever tasty treats are on offer!
