Ever wondered what happens when you stick 25 passionate marketers in a floating building during a storm? Pure magic, as it turns out.

The Marketing Meetup's second Lancashire event at Brockholes Nature Reserve proved that nothing - not even November's finest weather - could stop our county's marketing community from showing up for each other.

While the wind howled outside, something proper special was happening inside. Lancashire Wildlife Trust shared the real talk about charity marketing - the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. Just honest chat about making marketing matter when every penny counts.

Mike Walker from StopPress said: "Marketing meetups don't need to be all suits and business cards in soulless hotel conference rooms (even though there’s nothing wrong with those events).

"Chuck passionate people together in a floating building in the middle of a nature reserve, and watch what happens."

READY FOR ROUND THREE?

If you missed out, don't sweat it. We're back at it in Chorley's Strawberry Fields on 30th January, and this time we're tackling the spicy world of lead generation. We've lined up some absolute legends who know their stuff - the kind who've been in the trenches and come out winning.

Want in on Lancashire's most exciting marketing community? Course you do. Pizza, beer, a cracking gaggle of folx.

About The Marketing Meetup Lancashire: We're building something proper 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. Building on the global TMM brand but with a Red Rose twang.
