About this Event
Free Admission | Open to Everyone | In-Person Event
Every marketer has one: the campaign that seemed like a great idea until it wasn't, the budget that vanished, the launch that flopped. You're not alone, and tonight you'll hear it straight from the people who lived it.
Marketing Horror Stories brings together storytellers who'll each share one real marketing horror story: what they set out to do, where it went wrong, and what they took away from it.
Whether the disaster involved SEO, social, email, paid ads, or an AI experiment that got away from someone, you'll walk away with real lessons, not just cautionary tales.
What to Expect:
👥 Networking & Mingling: Connect with fellow marketers, entrepreneurs, and students.
🥂 Complimentary Refreshments: Enjoy drinks and light bites while engaging with others.
🔥 Storytelling: Real marketing horror stories, capped at 15 minutes each, told by the people who lived them.
🗳️ Audience Engagement: Vote for the scariest story of the night and jump in with questions for our storytellers.
🎁 Raffle Prizes: Walk away with some SocialSurge swag and other surprise takeaways.
