Can your marketing help save the planet? – that’s the question which will be posed by the guest speaker at the latest City of Newport Business Club networking event.

Gemma Butler, a sustainable marketing expert, will be the speaker at the event on Thursday, May 9.

The club will be meeting at its new regular venue – the Mercure Newport, the city centre’s newest and tallest hotel based on Upper Dock Street. As well as being the new venue for the City of Newport Business Club, the Mercure is also now a club sponsor.

Guest speaker Gemma is co-founder and director of Can Marketing Save The Planet Ltd and co-host of the podcast series Can Marketing Save the Planet? She is a sustainable marketing consultant, a twice-published author and a guest lecturer. Her main focus is championing sustainable marketing and leadership, working with organisations and individuals across industries on strategies, education and training them in their role in driving a more sustainable future.

City of Newport Business Club chairman Professor Jonathan Deacon said:

“We are delighted to welcome Gemma as our guest on May 9 at our brilliant new city centre home. I am sure Gemma will have some interesting ideas on how sustainability and marketing mix, and will offer some insights which will be of real value to our guests.”
