We’re back with a brand new look! Welcome to the first event for Marketing Mastered – the new home for Derby’s marketing community to meet, learn and level up!

This time, we’ve got two excellent speakers discussing all the latest trends and topics in the marketing world. Followed by a Q&A session with our host, Rob Twells, and you – the audience. Who’s speaking?

As ever, there’ll be free food and drink and plenty of marketing chat with other like-minded folk in digital. We can’t wait to see you there!
