Boston Marketing Club
What the heck is the Boston Marketing Club?
- The new forum for marketing professionals
This is the best way to meet other professional marketers and actually talk about marketing.
The Boston Marketing Club is the series of social events with a purpose from the Boston Chapter of the American Marketing Association.
Yea, sure, we have wine and cheese.
But we have a purpose, and it is not to test the latest batch of Merlot, nor to compare different types of goat cheese. Our mission is to connect professional marketers in the Boston area, and to do so in a meaningful way. That is why these events have a twist.
The difference.
We use marketing hot topics at these events as a basis for conversation. Not only that, but we do polling at the events to compile the results of your conversations. This is done with a unique group of dedicated people we call the "Marketing Connectors." Our Connectors work the room to promote conversation and gather your opinions.
Some of the hot topics we have used at past events, and are planning, are:
Marketing Ethics: Where is the Line?
Guerilla Marketing: Why All the Fuss?
The Product will Sell Itself: Who Needs Marketing?
Growing the Business: Peril or Profit?
Competitive Advantage: Where Does it Come From?
Sales vs Marketing: Who Owns the Customer?

Off to a Great Start!
January 31st was the inaugural event for AMA Boston?s new Boston Marketing Club. It was a smashing success! Of the more than 60 people that attended, everyone had a great time, engaged in lively discussions, and met a few marketers they had not known before.

Since then, we have continued to grow the event, and have even started to add new locations in surrounding areas. Keep an eye out for one near you - or if you are interested in starting one in your town, let us know and we will help!
