Welcome to the Marketing Mastered – the home for Derby’s marketing community to meet, learn and level up!

Marketing Mastered is a free evening event for marketers, marketing managers, and business owners in Derby and the East Midlands. Every quarter, we bring together two speakers covering the topics that actually matter right now, followed by a live Q&A with the audience.

No sales pitches. No fluff. Just honest conversations about what’s working in marketing, what isn’t, and where things are heading.

We keep it small enough to have a real conversation and big enough to meet someone useful. With free food and drinks laid on, it’s one of the best things you can do with a Thursday evening.
