RISE is a vibrant global community dedicated to exploring the future of marketing. The marketing profession is changing with bullet-speed. In our community, we are working on our continuous journey of relevance by teaching and encouraging each other.

Our community is kind, generous, and professional. You will be respected and valued. I think this screenshot sums it up!

Our topics and projects shift as the world progresses, but current themes in the community include:

• Active experiments in the metaverse
• A co-created book project
• AI-generated content and art
• Web3, NFTs and tokenized economies
• Changing consumer behavior
• Evolving social media platforms
• Podcasts and content strategy
• Personal development, speaking, personal branding

… and much more.

Our learning environment is also driven by free webinars, debates, and special live events with acclaimed experts like Philip Kotler, Tom Peters, Ann Handley, and David Meerman Scott.

We also have a lot of fun with meet-ups, either live or in the metaverse!

The community is free to join for three months. You don’t need any special equipment or abilities. It’s a safe place to learn, ask questions, and connect to a relevant and helpful marketing community. At the end of three months, you have the option to subscribe to the community at $19.99 per month. There is no contract and we waive the fee in the event of financial need.

Currently, our community meets on the Discord platform. You’ll need an invitation to join the community, and that can be obtained simply by writing Mark Schaefer at [email protected]. Add a few words about yourself and why you’d like to join.

We look forward to welcoming you into the best marketing community!
