Frequently asked questions about Sydney Marketing Community
Is Sydney Marketing Community free to join?
Yes! As at January 2026 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.
Do I need to live in Sydney to apply?
No. Some of our offers and events are based in Sydney but you are welcome to join from anywhere.
Are events in-person or online?
We're planning a mix of in-person and online events. We'll be led by community feedback on their preferred format.
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.
