Communications, marketing and campaigns community

We run a regular Communications, Marketing and Campaigns community (CMCC). It’s the chance for practitioners to come together, to learn from each other, to share best practice, and to help each other out. We see ourselves as facilitators, not leaders in this – that's you. While we’ll be hosting regular events and sharing resources monthly, we hope the conversations will continue throughout, and without us. We want to connect peers and build your relationships, not be the gatekeepers. With that in mind, we are keen to know what you would like from your marcomms community... what topics would you like us to cover? How would you like to be communicated with? What resources would you like to see us supporting you with? Please send all of your thoughts to comms@aoc.co.uk.

We want to make this community as large and inclusive as we possibly can. To join the mailing list and receive meeting reminders, recordings and resources, please make sure you are registered for our website.

We also have a LinkedIn group, which you can join here.

Upcoming meetings

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 1 April from 12:30pm-1:30pm. We will send an email reminder email closer to the time, but if you would like the link please email us at comms@aoc.co.uk.

Previous meetings

After our meetings, we send meeting resources and recordings to all member marketing contacts registered for our website. If there are any specific resources you would like please get in touch.
