Relaunching with a Fresh Twist

Social Media Club Wellington is making a comeback! Initially started in 2010, the club became a cornerstone for digital enthusiasts and professionals to gather, share insights, and network. After a hiatus following its last event in 2015, the club is relaunching with a renewed vision to bring the latest in social media and digital trends to Wellington's vibrant industry. This exciting revival is spearheaded by Tom Reidy from TAG The Agency and Lukas and Rit from Karori Dairy.

A New Format for a New Era

Gone are the days of conventional meetups and passive listening. The new Social Media Club Wellington is breaking the mold by introducing live-recorded podcasts, creating an interactive platform that encourages high community engagement. Here's what you can expect:

  • Bi-Monthly Networking Events: Every two months, a select group of 30 individuals will gather for an exclusive networking event. These events are designed to foster meaningful connections and deep discussions.

  • Interactive Live Podcasts: Each event will feature a live interview with a notable figure from the digital community. The twist? The audience isn't just there to listen. They will actively participate in the interview, asking questions and engaging with the interviewee, all while being recorded for a podcast.

  • Community-Centric Approach: The focus is on high engagement and collaboration. By limiting the number of attendees, each event ensures that everyone has the opportunity to contribute, making every session dynamic and insightful.

Why This Matters

In an era where digital trends are constantly evolving, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Social Media Club Wellington aims to be the hub where professionals can learn from each other, share experiences, and gain insights into the latest industry developments. The interactive podcast format not only provides valuable content but also builds a stronger, more connected community.
