FAQs

We don’t currently have a membership option, so you can’t officially be a ‘member’ of the network.

You can join our LinkedIn group and attend our events without needing to check-in or verify your eligibility – we welcome anyone who has an interest in marketing, and who identifies as a woman or femme in a way that’s important to them. Find out more here.

Absolutely! We welcome anyone who has an interest in Marketing – that could mean that:

• You’re a student who is considering a career in Marketing
• You’re a business owner who has to market their own business
• You work in a different industry but have a passion for Marketing that you want to explore
• You used to work in Marketing

We don’t verify your ‘Marketing credentials’ – as long as you have an interest, you’re more than welcome!

We survey our community regularly to ask if they would like men to be able to attend our events – currently. the majority have said that they would like our space to be reserved for women and non-binary folk only. For as long as the majority answer is ‘no’, we will continue to follow this policy. However, we review individuals on a case-by-case basis, you can hear more about our reasoning here.

We’ll be sharing some of the community’s reasons soon.

For the majority of our first year, all of our events were free to attend – we relied fully on the generosity of local businesses to sponsor us in order to run the organisation.

We do not pocket any profit, any money we generate goes straight back into the community. All of our organisers and board members are volunteers and yet, as a non-profit organisation, there are still costs involved in running Norfolk Women’s Marketing Network.

Some of the ticket proceeds go towards covering event logistics, such as venue hire; some of the ticket proceeds go towards business administration costs, such as accountancy fees and website maintenance; but we like to reserve some funds in order to put on special events inspired by feedback from the community.

We always welcome new ideas for events and would love to hear from you – simply get in touch via our contact form below or by emailing us directly at grace@nwmnetwork.co.uk

Yes, please! Our community blog is open to submissions from anyone on any topic that is relevant to careers, marketing, empowerment, or surrounding areas. If you want to run an idea by us, get in touch – if not, dive in and email us your piece when you’re finished. All we’ll need is a photos and short bio about you for your Author page.

The advisory board was established in April 2022 and positions will be reviewed in April 2023 – when positions become available, we will open applications to the community and you’ll hear about it through our social media channels and email communications.

You can read about the ways you can support us on our ‘Friends of the Network’ page.
