Nothing is Real (But the Marketing Meetup at Strawberry Fields)

Marketing Meetup in January

Thursday night at Strawberry Fields was more than just another meetup. And yes, we mean that Strawberry Fields - though we swapped the Beatles for marketing beats. 

45 of Lancashire's finest marketers came together to tackle the big one - lead generation. No pitches, no selling, just brilliant minds sharing what actually works in 2025. The energy in that room? Incredible.

The conversations were outstanding. From revolutionary AI approaches to time-tested relationship building, every single person brought something valuable to the table. That's what happens when you get marketing directors, digital specialists, and content strategists from across Lancashire in one room.

The best bit? Watching competitors become collaborators. Marketing can be a tough gig, but last night proved that when we share knowledge, everyone wins. From Blackburn to Preston, Burnley to Chorley - we had voices from across the county sharing insights.

This is why we wanted to bring The Marketing Meetup to Lancashire. A space where experience meets innovation, where questions are welcomed, and where every marketer - whether they're just starting out or leading teams - feels at home.

Thanks to everyone who made it down. Your insights, questions, and enthusiasm made this our best session yet. And to those who couldn't make it? The community's growing and we'd love to see you next time.

Next month's meetup is already in the works, and if last night's anything to go by, you'll want to be there. Drop us a message if you fancy being part of Lancashire's most supportive marketing community. 

You can also keep your eye on upcoming dates and venues here  

Word is that we are off to Rossendale, Lancaster and Burnley in the next few months!

P.S. Huge shout out to Strawberry Fields for hosting us. Living is easy with eyes closed, but last night everyone came ready to learn! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
