It’s hard to believe that 2024 is coming to a close so quickly. It doesn’t seem like that long ago when we hosted our very first event in May at Bella Union.

What most of you may not know is that all of this happened by accident. 😅

I wasn’t looking to host events, but I was looking to join them. I was at a point in my career where I wanted to expand my network of genuine connections in our industry, but I didn’t exactly know how to do that.

I found a great new app called Clockout as an opportunity to potentially network with other fellow marketers in my city through their peer-run networking groups, but there was a slight problem… I couldn’t get into any of the groups. 😕

The waitlists for these groups were exceptionally long with very limited spots, so I decided to create a group of my own.

All seemed to be going well until I realized that my ability to market my group on Clockout was very limited. Folks that I knew personally couldn’t even get approved to join the app, so I decided to use what has become one of my favorite social platforms: Partiful.

Partiful helped me promote All Things Advertising outside of the parameters of Clockout with its seamless ability to allow guests of my event to share the event details with their friends via text and social media.

And share they did! 🙌🏼

While our May event was filled with some familiar faces, it was also filled with many new ones. I could not be more grateful and I look forward to bringing our growing community more fun ways to connect as we continue to grow.

Ain’t no party like an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party! Let’s close out this year with some festive fun along with your best (or worst) holiday fits.
