Skout PR jump onboard with the Business Marketing Club North West

As an innovative, growing B2B PR agency, we like to think we’re always at the heart of the most exciting new developments in the industry, and our latest update is certainly one to shout about!

The Business Marketing Club is due to make its debut in the North West as a natural progression of its success in London, the South East and the East Midlands. Skout PR is thrilled to be one of the first companies to join the BMC’s new regional chapter.

Whilst there’s certainly no shortage of networking groups and affiliations around Manchester and the North West, the BMC has boundless potential and aims to bring together the region’s vibrant and growing marketing community. The organisation is open to all B2B marketers in the North West; whether in-house, part of an agency or in a consultancy role.

Unlike many business events, BMC is all about encouraging healthy debate in a relaxed environment over food and drinks – so you can leave your formal etiquette at home! The regular meetings invite forward-thinking B2B marketers to network and share knowledge, ideas and inspiration.

Members have access to the free events programme, consisting of thought leadership sessions, bitesize workshops and roundtable events. There will also be opportunities to connect with the BMC beyond the region with access to an exclusive UK-wide knowledge hub.

Skout is looking forward to meeting other members and learning more about the North West’s marketing talent! If you’re eager to join us in putting the marketing world to rights, there’s still time to jump on board. The first North West event will be held today at MediaCityUK, where a panel of guest speakers will be debating the power of brand investment to drive business growth in B2B. We hope to see you there.
