Start 2027 with a clear plan, a clear head and the confidence to make it happen.

Marketing Retreat – Reset for 2027

This retreat is for you if you're:

Responsible for your organisation's marketing budget and objectives

Looking ahead to 2027 and feeling like there's a lot to work out

Too close to the day-to-day to see the bigger picture clearly

Unsure whether your current strategy is still the right one

Struggling to prioritise where your time and budget should go

Looking for a critical friend who will challenge you, not just agree with you

Keen to learn from people facing similar challenges

Ready to get out of the office, clear your head and properly focus

This is an intimate working retreat, not a conference. With only 12 places, you'll have space to contribute, ask questions, share challenges and get meaningful input from the people around you.

Why now?

Because 2027 will be here before you know it. And if you're responsible for marketing budgets and objectives, you can't afford to spend January figuring out what the plan is. This retreat will help you to reset your mind, focus and work on your business' key challenges.

November gives you the breathing space to step away from the immediate pressures of the business and look properly at what's ahead.

What's working? What's not? What needs to change? Where should you invest? What should you stop doing? And what does success actually look like?

You'll have the time and headspace to answer those questions before the year starts, rather than trying to squeeze strategic thinking into the gaps between meetings.

What will you leave with?

By the end of the retreat, you'll have made new friends and connections within our marketing community. And also have:

A clearer view of your challenges: identify the biggest pain points, barriers and opportunities affecting your marketing right now.

A 2027 marketing plan: turn your thinking into a clear strategic direction for the year ahead.

Priorities for your budget: get clearer on where your marketing investment should go, and where it shouldn't.

A way to measure success: define the objectives, KPIs and reporting approach you'll use to know whether your marketing is actually working.

A refreshed strategy and mind: challenge what's currently in place and make the changes needed to bring it into 2027 with confidence and clarity.

During the retreat, you will learn to break the big strategic thinking into practical next steps you can take back to your team.

We are your accountability partner and you meet peers who understand your role and can help keep you accountable beyond the retreat.

The experience

We're bringing together marketing strategy and wellbeing, because you need both.

Your strategy sessions are led by an experienced marketing strategist, while carefully chosen wellbeing experts will help you slow down, reset and create the mental space to think properly. You'll experience a mix of strategic working sessions, peer discussion, individual thinking time and wellbeing activities including yoga, grounding, cold water swimming and sound bath. This creates a highly valuable strategic retreat that will refresh your mind and your marketing.

The result is a retreat that gives you something a traditional strategy day often doesn't: the space to think clearly.
