MARKETING, 
MEET COMMON SENSE

Let's erode the BS. You know the kind. Pointless meetings. Boring buzzwords. Acronyms that ache the brain. 

Fed up with corporate groupthink, we started Cut the Crap as a place for lively debate, thoughtful disagreement and creative curiosity. We provide marketing events and education that don't suck. 

Cut the Crap is a great place to change your mind. In fact, we champion it. So if you’re an inquisitive mind bored with business as usual, if you like people but snore at smarmy networking, or if snacks make you smile, this might be the place for you.

NO BS

Unique speakers from the marketing industry and beyond. We don't announce speakers because a fancy title isn't a prerequisite for valuable insight.

CONNECTION

No smarmy networking, just a curious learning environment.
Our hope is for you to meet someone you'd like to hang out with again.

SURPRISE!

A creative format where you can expect the unexpected. Quirky entertainment, surprise segments and data llamas. We really like surprises and snacks. 

6 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT US

Allow us to introduce ourselves and why the hell we created Cut the Crap

1. 

WE'RE MARKETING NERDS

Tragically, we love marketing and everything to do with it. And no, we're not talking about the "77 SEO tips to make you #1 on Google overnight" shit. We're talking about the fundamentals. Creative consistency. Interesting ideas. Effectiveness over efficiency. You know, that kind of stuff. 

2. 

THERE'S TOO MUCH CRAP ONLINE

So we're a thoughtful filter. A plain-english contributor of the good stuff. If ever we land in the 'nonsense' category, please let us know. We love a good debate (and changing our mind!)

3.

MARKETING IS A CREATIVE CAREER CHOICE

And frankly, the industry has gone too far down the 'digital-first, data-driven everything' garden path. So we're here to help us return to creativity and common sense as a core
principle in marketing and advertising. 

4.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT IS BROKEN IN MARKETING

Marketing careers develop inconsistently and erratically. If you bagged a good boss who cares, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. For everyone else, we aim to assemble a curious bunch of marketers and creative advocates who like to help each other. 

5.

CORPORATE EVENTS ARE BORING 

Miss the rubber chicken and rousing conversation? The smarmy networking? Us neither. Think of us as the cucumber-infused water to a normal event's pedestrian tap. At every event, we have two primary goals. One, that you'll meet someone you'd like to meet again, and two, that you'll learn something that you can apply at work or in life. 

6.

SNACKS AND SURPRISES ARE OUR JAM

We obsess over snack choice. That's why we ask everyone what their favorite snack is when they sign up. So go ahead and subscribe, if we can ever meet in person ever again you might just get lucky.
