Last week marked a special milestone as we celebrated the graduation of our second annual Professional Services Mastermind cohorts.

After eight months of learning, collaboration and shared experiences, members from both our Colchester and virtual groups came together in London to celebrate everything they had achieved.

A Day to Remember

The celebrations began with a fascinating guided tour of the Royal Courts of Justice, led by the brilliant Tim Wilson.

The group also had the unique opportunity to sit in on live court cases, providing an unforgettable insight into one of the UK’s most iconic legal institutions.

Afterwards, everyone gathered in Lincoln’s Inn Fields to enjoy a picnic, celebrate with a glass of bubbly, and spend time together away from the usual online meetings and workshops that had brought the cohort together over the previous eight months.

Despite travel disruptions sadly preventing some attendees from joining us (please come next time!), it was fantastic to see so many members making the journey from across the country to celebrate together.

More Than a Marketing Programme

The Professional Services Mastermind was created to bring marketers together in an environment where they can openly discuss challenges, exchange ideas, learn from industry experts and support one another.

Throughout the programme, members tackled real-world marketing challenges, shared experiences from their own organisations and built valuable professional relationships that we hope will continue long after graduation.

Seeing the community develop over the course of the programme has been one of the most rewarding parts of running the Mastermind.

What Our Graduates Had to Say

The feedback from this year’s graduates perfectly captures what the programme is all about.

“Thank you for inviting me and helping me through the entire mastermind cohort!” – Jack Osbon

“Thank you Sarah and Alexandra for organising a really enjoyable day – it was great to be able to meet everyone!” – Gemma Gifford

“It was a real pleasure to be part of an amazing group and what a lovely day to round it all off.” – Tony Brown

“Such a lovely day! Thank you so much Sarah, Dave, Alexandra, and all the team at Footprint Digital for organising and having me on the cohort this year. I learned so much!” – Melissa Porter

“Such a lovely way to wrap up learning over the eight months. Thank you for inviting me to join!” – Jessica G.

Feedback like this reminds us why we created the Mastermind in the first place: to provide a space where marketers in professional services can learn, grow and support one another throughout their careers.

Looking Ahead

We’re incredibly proud of every graduate who has been part of this year’s programme and grateful to everyone who contributed their time, knowledge and enthusiasm along the way.

The Growth Club community continues to grow, and we’re excited to welcome a new intake of Mastermind members this September.

Alongside our UK cohorts, we’ll also be launching our first US Mastermind, expanding the community internationally for the very first time.

Congratulations once again to all of our graduates. Thank you for being part of the journey – we can’t wait to see what you achieve next.
