While the big events happen in London, Manchester or further afield, Scottish business owners are often left watching from the sidelines or shelling out on travel costs, pricey accommodation and sacrificing valuable hours inside their business. 

The truth is, there just aren't enough events happening right here in Scotland.

The Scottish Marketing Summit is putting Scotland (and its best businesses and entrepreneurs) front and centre with real strategy, real results and no fluff. 

Have you ever been to an event, listened to all of the speakers, taken as many notes as you can but found yourself never able to implement what you've been taught? 

Me too!

(It's my #1 pet peeve when I go to events) 

😩 Headliners and speakers who dazzle you with information, but never quite show you exactly how to make it work for you and your business.

😩 Tons of marketing jargon flung at you with no explanation on what it actually means or how it can make your life & business better.

😩 Fancy, eye-catching slides that say a lot of words, without saying anything meaningful at all.

But What If There Was An Event Where...

🤩 The sole purpose was to leave the audience better than when they arrived?!

🤩 You are left more informed & confident in what you've learned and how that looks for your own business?!

🤩 You are fired up and ready for serious action that drives your business forward?!

The Scottish Marketing Summit exists to bring together ambitious business owners, expert voices and forward thinking sponsors for a day of practical learning, genuine connection and marketing that actually works- making big-league marketing feel accessible, exciting and - most importantly - achievable.

The Scottish Marketing Summit is for you if:

  • You run a service-based business and want your marketing to finally work
  • You’re actively working to grow your business, create a larger impact and get paid more for your expertise
  • You feel like marketing is overwhelming, confusing or just not clicking and you want to change that, immediately
  • You’re ready to take action and want clear guidance, not more noise
  • ​You’re craving connection, inspiration and direction in a room full of like-minded business owners
  • ​If you want a simple, practical path forward… this day is for you.

The Scottish Marketing Summit is NOT for you if:

  • You’re looking for beginner 'how-to tutorials' on setting up social media
  • You believe you already have all the answers and aren't willing to learn from world-class experts in their field
  • You’re not open to hearing new strategies, shifting your mindset or broadening your horizons
  • You prefer passive listening and not taking action VS being an action taker who makes things happen
