Retreat overview
Lets get started
This is an intimate marketing strategy retreat for marketing decisionmakers who want to achieve more and feel confident in their planning and delivery.
Are you ready to step away from the day-to-day, get honest about what's working, identify what's getting in the way and build a clear plan for 2027?
No conference rooms or generic marketing theory. Instead, you'll have dedicated time to think, strategic guidance from an experienced marketing strategist, honest conversations with your peers and carefully chosen wellbeing experiences designed to help you properly switch off from the noise and focus on what matters - you.
All in a beautiful countryside setting, with just 8–12 marketing leaders around the table.

Why now?
Because 2027 is almost here
And if you're responsible for marketing budgets and objectives, you can't afford to spend January figuring out what the plan is.
November gives you the breathing space to step away from the immediate pressures of the business and look properly at what's ahead.
What's working? What's not? What needs to change? Where should you invest? What should you stop doing? And what does success actually look like?
You'll have the time and headspace to answer those questions before the year starts, rather than trying to squeeze strategic thinking into the gaps between meetings.
Start 2027 with a plan and a community around you to give you confidence to succeed.

This retreat is for you if you're:
- Responsible for your organisation's marketing budget and objectives.
- Looking ahead to 2027 and feeling like there's a lot to work out.
- Too close to the day-to-day to see the bigger picture clearly.
- Unsure whether your current strategy is still the right one.
- Struggling to prioritise where your time and budget should go.
- Looking for a critical friend who will challenge you, not just agree with you.
- Keen to learn from people facing similar challenges.
- Ready to get out of the office, clear your head and properly focus.
With only 12 places, you'll have space to contribute, ask questions, share challenges and get meaningful input from the people around you.
We design our retreats to bring confidence that in the world of AI, your critical thinking, creativity and human uniqueness has a place and value.

What will you leave with?
By the end of the retreat, you'll have:
- A clearer view of your challenges: Identify the biggest pain points, barriers and opportunities affecting your marketing right now.
- A 2027 marketing plan: Turn your thinking into a clear strategic direction for the year ahead.
- Priorities for your budget: Get clearer on where your marketing investment should go, and where it shouldn't.
- A way to measure success: Define the objectives, KPIs and reporting approach you'll use to know whether your marketing is actually working.
- A refreshed strategy: Challenge what's currently in place and make the changes needed to bring it into 2027.
- A plan for action: Break the big strategic thinking into practical next steps you can take back to your team.
- An accountability partner: Leave with a peer who understands your role and can help keep you accountable beyond the retreat.
- A clearer head: Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step away from your desk.
