Inside our June gatherings for senior marketing leaders

We were delighted to be bring together members of our senior marketing leadership community once again for two carefully curated events this June: an intimate CMO dinner, followed by our senior leaders breakfast. 

At a time when many organisations continue to navigate economic pressure, changing customer expectations and the growing influence of AI and digital transformation, creating space for thoughtful conversation feels more valuable than ever. These gatherings are designed to offer exactly that – an opportunity for senior leaders to step away from day-to-day demands and engage in open, commercially relevant discussion with peers facing many of the same opportunities and challenges. 

Both events brought together experienced marketing and business leaders from across FTSE 350, PE-backed and high-growth organisations for honest conversations around leadership roles. As always, the emphasis was on meaningful dialogue, shared insight and building trusted peer relationships within a confidential and collaborative environment. 

Our CMO dinners continue to provide a valuable forum for senior leaders to exchange perspectives in a relaxed setting, while our breakfast events offer the opportunity to hear live market insight from our MD & Founder, Suzie Walker, alongside roundtable discussion and peer networking. 

One of the most rewarding aspects of these events is seeing the continued impact they have long after the conversations end – whether through new connections, fresh thinking or greater clarity around leadership and career decisions. 

Some kind words from our guests: 

“What a wonderful evening! Thank you for including me. The conversation was genuinely brilliant and the mix of people around the table was exactly what I needed. I’ve already got a few coffee chats in mind, so the ripples are already spreading."

"Thank you so much for such a lovely evening. It was an honour to be included. Wonderful company, conversation and such a great venue. I look forward to connecting with everyone in due course, and our continued collaboration. Thank you so much for all your support and wisdom. It means a lot!"

“As you said at the outset the thought of networking doesn’t always excite people, especially on a Friday morning! I've attended a few networking events over the years, and found that this was genuinely one of the best I've been to.”

“What stood out for me was the balance you created in a relaxed and informal environment. I enjoyed hearing your perspective on the current recruitment market which was incredibly valuable, but equally important was the opportunity for open discussion and candid conversations among the attendees. You created an environment where people were comfortable sharing experiences, asking questions, and making meaningful connections.”

“I came away with several new contacts, an updated and better understanding of the market, and plenty of food for thought.”

“It was wonderful to meet you and a privilege to start the day with such a talented accomplished group of people.”

We’re looking forward to welcoming another exceptional group of leaders across both events and continuing to support a senior community that values insight, openness and genuine connection. 

Our events remain invite-only and carefully curated. If you’re interested in attending a future event, please register as a candidate, or update your details if already registered, and we’ll be sure to invite you to the next relevant event.
