👋  I'm Joe. 

Nine years ago I was the guy who was too shy to speak to people at networking events. Even when I did pluck up the courage, it felt all people valued was my job title or my budget rather than me as a person.

I knew I wanted to meet other marketers and learn about marketing in a safe space, so when I couldn't find it, I made it.

The Marketing Meetup is a positively lovely community for marketers. (Basically, we all look after each other and treat one another as people first 😊)

Through good luck and hard work, in the years since, I (as part of a big team effort!) have built a global community of 50,000+ lovely marketers with a social following of 250k+.

Each week, we're lucky to have amazing guest speakers such as Mark Ritson, Rory Sutherland, Seth Godin and many more share time with our community - educating and connecting us all.

You should join one of our webinars, our membership, or the newsletter: I think you'd get a lot from all of them. 

Some places I have spoken/been a guest on include: 

- Festival of Marketing,
- Innocent Smoothies Internal Sessions,
- Everyone Hates Marketers Podcast with Louis Grenier, 
- The Next Web
- Marketing Week Columnist,
- Fiverr Webinar Series,
