👋  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, 
- Ahrefs Podcast
- VeryGoodCopy

And quite a lot of other places/podcasts. By all means get in touch with speaking/podcast ops. Or, just say hello :)

Intern in Sales Department

"A great product manager has the brain of an engineer, the heart of a designer, and the speech of a diplomat." ​– Deep Nishar.

Here I am - totally obsessed with product management, user experience research, UX strategy, marketing strategy and all things social media! I can't get enough of understanding buyer psychology and using data to make better product and business decisions.

I love mixing elements of marketing and UX to create cool experiences that'll make users go: "Wow!". 

Let me tell you about the wild ride I've had: 
- sales, 
- project management, 
- social media content creation (yep, Canva is my friend 😏), 
- community management, 
- generating and managing leads (hi, HubSpot!), 
- social media accounts and website audits,
- email marketing, 
- data management 👩‍💻, 
- writing blog posts, 
- diving into all kinds of market research, 
- testing out various marketing courses, 
- hosting online webinars 

and a whole lot more I've probably forgotten about 🤔

After hours, you'll find me at the gym or in a climbing center (I fell in love with bouldering recently!). Apart from that, I enjoy drawing, networking, learning more about UX design best practices, listening to podcasts and audiobooks about self-development, mindfulness, marketing, startups and making informed product decisions. 

So, if you need some UX, marketing or social media advice, do get in touch! 📨
