Frequently asked questions about Sydney Marketing Community
Is Sydney Marketing Community free to join?
Yes! Currently there is no cost to join Sydney Marketing Community. There are costs for some of our activities, including most events.
Do I need to be working in marketing to join as a Marketing Member?
Yes. You also qualify if you have worked in marketing but are out of a marketing role temporarily.
What is the difference between a Marketing Member and an Industry Member?
A Marketing Member is someone currently (or recently) working in a marketing role or someone studying marketing. An Industry Member is someone who works with marketers but is not a marketer themselves, e.g. Client Service at an agency or Sales team member at a software vendor .
Do I need to live in Sydney to apply?
You generally need to live in greater Sydney or close enough to attend our events. The vast majority of our events are currently in-person. Reach out to us if you are not based in greater Sydney but wish to join.
Are events in-person or online?
We offer a mix of in-person and online events, with the vast majority in-person. We'll be led by community feedback on preferred formats.
What type of marketers should join?
Marketers may work in a very specialised area or more broadly across a number of areas. SMC welcomes all marketers, regardless of their specialisation. We believe it's important we all have some knowledge about different areas of marketing and how they might apply in our roles. Developing a broader view is also critically important in staying current, progressing in our careers and moving into new roles.
