What keeps us awake at night?
Marketing is too often misunderstood. Undervalued in the boardroom, overlooked in the classroom, underrepresented in national conversations about business and growth. That bothers us.
We think Scotland has extraordinary marketing talent. But talent without community, without connection, without honest peer challenge, doesn't reach its potential. Neither does a profession that doesn't fight its own corner.
So we're focused on building something that lasts: a community where Scotland's best marketers find each other, support each other, and collectively make the case for what great marketing can do for businesses, for the economy, and for society.
We don’t preach. We practise.
Inclusive and inspirational
We welcome marketers at every career stage, from first role to fellow. The community is only as good as the people in it, so we work hard to make sure the brightest and most generous minds in Scottish marketing feel at home here, whoever they are and wherever they're starting from.
Marketing, from the classroom to the boardroom
We believe marketing deserves a seat at the top table, and we're not shy about saying so. Through events, thought leadership and the connections we foster, we make the case for the profession every day, helping members do well in their careers and do good in the world while they're at it.
Scotland as a place to be
We actively promote Scotland as somewhere worth studying, working and investing in marketing talent. That means shouting about the quality of the community here, connecting members to global networks, and making sure Scotland punches its weight on the world stage.
Build your muscles. Then flex them.
As part of a small, connected team, you'll learn fast and contribute from day one. The nature of the role puts you alongside some of Scotland's most experienced marketing leaders, across every sector and career stage, so the exposure is unlike most organisations of this size.
And because membership of The Marketing Society is part of the package, you'll have direct access to the same programme you help deliver. Learning Labs, mentoring, Ones To Watch, the Changemakers Conference. You won't just be behind the scenes. You'll be in the room.

FAQs
We're Scotland's marketing community. 850 members, 35+ events a year, and a network that stretches from Edinburgh to New York. We exist to make marketers better at what they do and louder about why it matters.
We're a small team with a big programme, which means your work is visible and your impact is real from the start. Members of our community have gone on to lead marketing functions at some of Scotland's most iconic organisations. We'd like to think the Society had something to do with that.
95% of our members would recommend membership to a colleague. We think that says it more honestly than we ever could. This is a community built on genuine connection, not corporate networking, and that starts with how we treat the people who work here.
