Nottingham DM Wins Sponsor Backing Ahead of First Event
At the start of March we announced that our marketing meetup Sheffield DM was expanding to Nottingham this month with a satellite event - and as anticipation builds for the launch event on 28th March, we're excited to announce we've already secured our first sponsor!
Web hosting and domain and email solutions specialists Purely.Website have immediately thrown their backing behind the new event, which is being organised jointly between Evoluted and Nottingham agency Victress Digital.
Purely.Website first got involved in sponsoring Sheffield DM with our all-day Summer '23 event, and subsequently joined our group of Sheffield meetup sponsors in November.
With the goal of making having an online presence affordable for all, Purely.Website was launched at the start of 2023 by the team behind long-running Sheffield hosting providers Pipe Ten.
"When we heard about the launch of Nottingham DM, we immediately wanted to be involved," says Purely.Website cofounder Gavin Kimpton.
"Having sponsored Sheffield DM since August, we've seen the ethos and sense of community behind the events up-close and I'm sure Nottingham DM will be the same."
"It's exciting to be part of the event from the very beginning and we're looking forward to connecting Nottingham DM attendees with affordable web hosting, domain and email solutions which can help them grow their marketing projects and side-hustles," he adds.
"A huge boost"
"It's a huge boost to have our first sponsor on board before we've even had the first event," says our Marketing Manager Dan Rawley, a lead organiser of Sheffield DM.
"It took three-and-a-half years before Sheffield DM secured its first paying sponsor - testimony to both how difficult it is to get these events off the ground and also how much the buzz behind Sheffield DM's growing profile has given Nottingham DM a great starting position."
"We're very grateful for Purely.Website's faith in us and what we're trying to do with these events, and the sponsorship will help us improve the attendee experience at Nottingham DM in the same way getting backing for our Sheffield meetups has been really transformative."
Nottingham DM's first event will be held at city centre pub the Barley Twist, featuring expert talks on Digital PR by freelance marketer Lau Miguez and B2B Paid Social by Overdrive Digital's Abi Bellion-Carey. To book your free ticket, visit the event page.
Like Sheffield DM, talk topics at the events will span all areas of digital marketing, including Social, SEO, PPC, Digital PR, strategy and more.
The launch of Nottingham DM marks the first step in our organising team's plans to build a 'DM Network' of events across the North and Midlands, emulating the sense of community and ethos we've built through Sheffield DM in other cities. Watch this space!
