What the heck is Adventures in Marketing?
Glad you asked! It’s a business event without the corporate blandness. A day to celebrate the bright, exciting and fun parts of marketing.
If you’re asking, “ does that side really exist? “
We’re answering … Yes, it does!
And our event Adventures in Marketing will prove it.
Listen, we know that running a business is hard work. And it doesn’t help when all around you are ‘experts and coaches’ telling you about new systems, processes, tools and ideas to add to your already bonkers-busy work day.
Suddenly, the work you’re doing feels more like hustle and graft.
You don’t remember signing up to ‘burn-out’ culture and yet here you are…
Adventures in Marketing has been designed to help you choose a different way through this rollercoaster business and marketing journey.
By the end of the day, you’ll leave all of this in the past:
Leaping from one shiny new object to the next, constantly hoping the next one will ‘fix’ your biz;
Spending thousands of £ on new courses and programmes you don’t finish;
Trusting nobody because you’re so fed up with being talked at by experts with no substance;
Reading more and more books, listening to more and more podcasts and still feeling stuck
And you’ll look forward to
Adding proven marketing and business tactics that help you reach your goals and feel great about the direction you’re heading
We’ve designed the day to help you identify goals, learn new skills and
have a clear plan of action straight away.
After this event, you’ll have the steps, strategies and skills to take your business to an exciting new phase.
Ah, marketing.
Full of hurdles, confusion, uncertainty and a constant flow of new things to figure out
It’s exhausting, isn’t it? And impossible to know what you should focus on to help you get the outcomes you crave.
Everybody says their way is the right way
So who’s really right? And what’s a complete waste of time?
No more second-guessing
We’ve gathered some of our favourite business mavericks, rebels and adventurers for this year’s Adventures in Marketing to help you cut back the uncertainty and overwhelm and figure out exactly what you want (and need) to achieve the outcomes you’re after.
They will share their expertise with you and break down the process step-by-step so you know exactly what to do first to implement it into your own marketing.
It’s part inspiration, part training. And it’s ALL going to be amazing
Our keynote speakers, session experts and otherwise excellent guests are here to share their knowledge so you can hack back the thorny bushes and open up new paths for your own business journey.
This is your adventure in marketing – you might arrive at our event feeling all kinds of confused about how to market your business, or what you should focus on next, but by the end, you’ll have a stack of new ideas and revived energy to set off at first light.
Excited to know more about Adventures in Marketing?
Check out the programme from our February 2023 event and buckle up because #AIM2024 promises to be even more of a wild and wonderful ride!

Tools for your back pack…
After a healthy dose of inspiration from our speakers, it’s time to gather your kit and get into the thick of things. Our expert sessions are loaded with practical tips, great ideas and all the lightbulbs you’ll ever need.
Choose the sessions that spark your interest and get ready to take-off!
Announcing our workshop hosts VERY soon, so keep your eyes peeled…
Setting the scene…
Adventures in Marketing takes place in one of Edinburgh’s coolest venues for our marketing voyage.
We’re setting up camp in the high-tech Imaginex room at YOTEL on Queen Street. There’s plenty of break-out space and ‘chill out’ areas for planning, mapping, learning and chatting.
It’s going to be fully interactive, fully immersive, fully inspiring and (thank)fully anything but corporate and boring.
You’re at the heart of this event
Adventures in Marketing is all about inspiring you. We want to push your knowledge and stretch your brain. We want you to have a damn good time in the process.
As well as our merry band of award-winning, funny and charming speakers and trainers - we’ve got mountains of fun and frivolities planned to keep you entertained.
We’re talking networking (the good kind), prizes, entertainment, random acts of kindness and so much more.
We’ll share the agenda very soon, but don’t dilly-dally. Early bird tickets are on sale and won’t be around for long.
Adventures in Marketing is the event for you if you’ve ever …..
Felt like there must be an easier way to make progress
Left an event feeling disappointed. Not this time!
Wished you could meet people like you, so that growing your business would feel more fun
Wondered how to achieve more…when you don’t know what you don’t know…and don’t know how to know it (wait, does that even make sense?!)
Craved more sociable networking opportunities with friends, new and old
Want good things to happen in your business, but have no idea where to begin
