For marketing leaders with ambitious goals.
Imagine connecting with a group of people who truly get you and who will help guide you through your most pressing challenges.
You’re invited to be part of something really special. As a member of a Marketer’s Community Roundtable group, you have the opportunity to learn from peers and experts, share best practices, and apply what you learn immediately.
In addition to personal growth, members form deep bonds rooted in trust and empathy. These supportive peer friendships can be lifelong.
How it works:
- We hand select small groups (10 or less) of Marketing Directors/VPs/CMOs to ensure an exceptional group dynamic.
- Monthly virtual meetings, private slack channel, and members-only events.
- Each meeting is organized and facilitated by professionals and led by working CMOs.
- No consultants or vendors.
Sound good? There’s more.

How We Operate
Are Roundtables for you?
What About the Investment?
Your boss will love Roundtables. Here’s why:
A recent Minnesota Business article states, “developing a network of peers has emerged as a highly productive business strategy.” And we agree.
When you’re a part of this community, you’ll bring your best self and the new skills you’re learning immediately back to your day job. Your company’s ROI is high: the investment is less than a trip to a conference. In exchange, you’ll bring back new information, skills, and tools to the workplace every single month.
When it comes to ROI, Roundtables is a no-brainer
