Marketing Flops & Vino 🍷
Marketing Flops & Vino
A cocktail party for marketers and founders who've learned a few things the hard way.
The campaign nobody clicked.
The product nobody bought.
The client you should've fired.
The business idea you were absolutely certain would work.
And then...
Nothing.
We've all got a story.
We just usually leave it out of the presentation.
So 3rd Space Bucharest and Maria Despa from Ideas Chat are throwing a party where the failures get the spotlight for once.
Drinks. Interesting people. Honest stories. And absolutely no pretending we've got it all figured out.
Here's how it works.
1. Put your flop on your name tag.
When you arrive, write down your biggest business or creative mistake.
No long introductions. No awkward networking.
Just:
“Hi, I'm Eric. I once spent €X on something that went absolutely nowhere.”
Now you've got something to talk about.
2. Play a few games. Meet some people. Have a drink.
You'll meet marketers, founders, creatives and other curious people who've had their fair share of “well, that didn't work” moments.
3. Hear the stories behind the failures.
Maria Despa from Ideas Chat will host a live Ideas Chat Unfiltered conversation with guests willing to share their biggest professional mistakes.
What happened?
What did it cost?
What did they get wrong?
And what would they do differently now?
No polished success stories.
No “failure was actually my greatest gift” speeches.
Just the stuff that usually gets edited out.
Why come?
🍸 Drinks and good company.
👋 Meet people from Bucharest's marketing, business and creative communities.
💥 Hear some spectacularly bad decisions.
😂 Laugh at mistakes you might recognize.
💡 Leave with a few lessons worth stealing.
And maybe meet someone who understands exactly why that campaign, launch or big idea still haunts you.
Do you have to share your own flop?
Nope.
You can keep your story to yourself.
But if you've got a good one, we'd love to hear it.
Come alone or bring a friend.
Write your flop on your name tag.
Grab a drink.
Meet some people who look like they know what they're doing.
They probably have a story that says otherwise.
Bad ideas. Good drinks. Great people.
