SF Startup Marketing Meetup Group

I attended a Mozilla Labs meetup event a few months back and loved the format. About 6 startups each presented for 10 minutes on how they scaled their applications. Each one presented a great story on the tools and technology they used and how the team worked together to build great products. 

I started thinking about connecting with other marketers in a similar fashion so went looking for other meetup groups with startup marketers, but I couldn’t find any. Sure, there were marketing groups about all sorts of interesting topics, but none specifically focused on the challenges we face as startups. Thus, the SF Startup Marketing meetup group was born.

Traditional marketing sucks! No budget, no resources, just pure creativity and innovation is what startup marketing is all about. You love it. You thrive on it.

Join the SF startup marketing meetup group and share your successes (and failures), how you executed them and what you learned with the group.

Each meetup we’ll pick a new topic and have marketers present their stories. Topics might include acquiring customers, demand creation, blogging, analytics and measuring marketing effectiveness, social media marketing, optimization, search engine marketing, building an affiliate program, viral marketing, community building, and generally how to do more with less.

Both B2B and B2C marketers are welcome. It’s definitely an “in-the-trenches” kind of meetup group where it’s not just about trends and strategy, but how marketers are actually executing and the technology we’re using. 

If you want to meet other marketers like yourself then join the meetup group and help us plan our first event!
