Our community
Here you’ll find everyone from marketing managers and comms execs to freelancers, solo business owners, and students exploring the industry.
If you’re interested in marketing, you’re welcome around the campfire.
We’re all about the face-to-face
We never record our events or have people joining online. For us it’s all about getting together IRL. The world has a ton of digital events, webinars, and podcasts and we’re not trying to compete with those resources. They have their place – but the way you learn in-person, the chance for in-depth Q&A and discussion, and the informal chats (and, let’s be real, the beer) just can't be replicated digitally. So, like Olivia Newton John, we say let’s get physical.
We keep it local
Since all our meet-ups are IRL, our community is mainly made up of people from in and around Oxfordshire – which means that even if the work you do is national (or international) you’ve still got a great support network close to home. All our speakers also live and work in the county. That way they’re not just parachuting in to share some insights and then buggering off – they’re a meaningful part of the community, in it for the long haul. And where we can, we get our drinks and snacks from local suppliers too, doing our bit to support businesses in our area.
We’re relentlessly practical
All our sessions are designed to arm you with info, advice, and ideas that you can put into practice straight away. So you won’t find any vague, wanky ‘thought-leadership’ here. We focus on exploring the practical areas of marketing we know are relevant to your day-to-day work. And all our speakers are working in marketing or comms roles every day, so the insights they share come from years of hard work and real-life experience.
Hear from happy campers
Marketing Camp’s fantastic. So well-rounded, good for anyone interested in growing their skills in marketing, whatever your level of experience. There's nothing else quite like it in Oxfordshire. Definitely come along if you can!

Absolutely great in a brilliantly low-key way. It’s basically a group of fun, kind, interesting people, who all happen to do something marketing-ish, just hanging out together. And the talks I’ve been to are always stuffed full of ideas and practical advice I can put into action straight away.

Every meet-up I’ve made it to has been super useful – whether for networking, picking up tips in areas that I’m less confident in, or simply being reassured that I’m on the right track.
