About this event
Marketing can feel like a screen-heavy sport: endless tabs, constant updates, and too many conversations happening through DMs and comment threads. This walk is a simple reset. If you want sharper thinking, better conversations, and real connection with people building brands, projects, and businesses in Lisbon, this is a strong place to start. About the Event The Marketing Power Walk is part of the broader Creators and Founders Power Walk series in Lisbon. The idea is straightforward: instead of meeting around a table or forcing another indoor networking session, you meet people while moving through the city on foot. The format creates a more natural pace for conversation, idea-sharing, and introductions. This edition is centered on marketing in the broadest and most practical sense. That can mean positioning, audience growth, content, brand clarity, partnerships, distribution, community-building, or simply figuring out how to talk about what you do in a way that actually lands. Whether you work in marketing full-time or wear the marketing hat for your own business, this walk gives you room to exchange ideas with people facing similar challenges. Because it is a walk, the energy is different from a formal meetup. Conversations tend to be more direct, less performative, and easier to sustain. You can speak with one person for ten minutes, drift into a small group discussion, then reconnect with someone else later. That movement helps people mix naturally and keeps the event social without feeling forced. What to Expect Expect an in-person meetup in Lisbon with a community-driven, conversational format. There is no need to prepare a pitch or show up with a polished story. The value comes from being present, curious, and open to talking about what you are building, what is working, and what is not. A typical flow will likely feel something like this: Arrival and quick introductions as people gather before setting off Walking in small clusters that make it easy to talk without competing for attention Organic networking with creators, founders, and marketing-minded attendees Topic-based conversations around growth, messaging, content, audience, brand, and distribution Casual switching between groups so you meet more than just the first few people you talk to You can also expect a healthy mix of perspectives. Some people will be focused on growing a personal brand, some on building a company, and some on learning how to market a product or creative practice more effectively. That mix is useful: it keeps the discussion practical and grounded in real-world work rather than abstract advice. The pace of a power walk also makes it easier to think out loud. Ideas that feel stuck at your desk often become clearer when you say them to someone while moving. If you have been trying to refine your offer, test a message, get feedback on a launch, or understand how others are approaching growth, this setting supports exactly that kind of conversation. Why Attend This event is valuable because it combines three things that rarely happen well at the same time: fresh air, focused conversation, and relevant people. Instead of exchanging contacts in a noisy room and promising to follow up later, you get time to actually talk. That leads to better connections and more useful takeaways. You should come if you want to: Meet people in Lisbon who care about marketing, business growth, and creative work Have smarter conversations about audience-building, messaging, and visibility Get out of your routine and think more clearly by moving Expand your network in a way that feels human and low-pressure Leave with ideas you can apply to your next campaign, launch, post, or project There is also real value in being around people who are actively making things happen. Founders and creators often face similar questions, even when their projects look very different from the outside. Talking through those questions together can help you spot blind spots, validate ideas, and learn faster. For many attendees, the strongest takeaway will not be a single tactic. It will be the combination of clarity, momentum, and connection. You may leave with a new collaborator, a better way to explain your work, a fresh content angle, or simply renewed energy to keep going. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Lisboa, Portugal, taking place on Sunday, January 19 at 4:00 PM GMT. It is designed as a walk-based meetup, so plan for a moving, outdoor format rather than a seated session. A few useful things to keep in mind: Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking Arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in and meet people before the group gets moving Dress for the weather, since the experience is built around being outdoors Be ready for conversation rather than passive listening Because the format is social and mobile, the best approach is to come with a simple introduction to who you are, what you are working on, and what kinds of conversations you hope to have. You do not need a perfect pitch. A clear sentence or two is enough. If you have been looking for a more natural way to meet thoughtful people in Lisbon's creator and founder community, this is a strong option. You will get movement, conversation, and a more grounded kind of networking than the usual meetup format.
