Marketing Therapy | CMO Brunch #6
You’ve been invited because this tends to be useful for people in your role.
Flight School is a small, closed-door session for senior marketers who want space to think clearly about real challenges, with people who actually understand the job.
What this is:
A small, closed-door peer session for senior growth, performance and brand marketers.
It’s a space to talk about what your working on right now and get feedback from some of your smartest peers.
There are no speakers, no slides, and no sponsors.
Who it's for:
Previous guests have come from Monzo, Gusto, CleanCo, SumUp, Bloom & Wild, and similar cool brands.
You’ll enjoy this if:
Are responsible for outcomes, not just execution
Want thoughtful input on real challenges
Prefer discussion over presentations
Attendance is approved to keep the room senior, balanced and useful.
How it works:
This is a guided peer discussion, not free-for-all networking.
You’ll be seated in a small supportive group
We take turns sharing a real challenge (over a tasty brunch)
The group listens, asks questions, and offers perspective
We make it easy for everyone to contribute (even if you find this kind of thing a bit scary!)
Chatham House Rules apply. Nothing shared leaves the room.
Why past guests say:
“Really got to the heart of the topics that are top of mind.”
Nick Horton, SURI
“Marketing therapy.”
Adam Boita, Ecologi
“A safe space to talk about the burning issues we’re all facing.”
Tricia Rogers, Shieldpay

Katie Hayes, Ozone API
“Walked away with lots of ideas and tangible advice.”
Corin Camenisch, SumUp
Why it’s £20
Most senior marketing events are priced for sponsorship and profit. This one isn’t. We run Flight School at cost.
The ticket covers:
a private room in a lovely venue
proper coffee and a tasty breakfast
keeping the group small and intimate
There are no sponsors subsidising the room, no sales agenda and no upsell waiting at the end.
For marketers, by marketers
Flight School is run by Tim Partridge and Tom Pursey. They met as marketing managers at Google in 2006, where they helped launch some of Google’s first brand campaigns.
Since leaving Google, they have run the agency Flying Object, where the same themes kept coming up in conversations with marketers. This lead to the creation of Flight School - a place to talk about challenges candidly over a croissant and coffee, with peers who understand the job.
