Why are Marketing Labs different?
The Marketing Lab provides an opportunity to network AND learn in a short focussed session with peers interested in the same topics - unlike many networking groups in the area that provide general networking or learning separately.
What you can expect at a Marketing Lab?
The Marketing Lab sessions include:
Relaxed, purposeful networking
A focused, interactive marketing session
Dedicated time to apply what you’ve learned
Small group discussion and feedback
How much do Marketing Labs cost?
The goal of the Marketing Lab is to provide local professionals and businesses with an opportunity to connect with peers and learn. Therefore the cost of these sessions is minimal to make them accessible. They are priced at £45 per person per session.

The Marketing Lab is a monthly, in-person marketing workshop and networking event in Tonbridge, Kent, run by Tonya Williams, a B2B marketing consultant with over 16 years of experience. Each session runs for two hours and combines focused, practical marketing learning with peer networking. Unlike a lecture or webinar, the Marketing Lab is a working session — attendees bring their own laptops and work on their own business in the room, leaving with something finished rather than a list of things to do later. Each session covers a specific marketing topic relevant to SMEs, and every session stands alone so attendees can join at any point. Sessions are held on the last Thursday of every month at Tonbridge Old Fire Station and are priced at £45 per person.

Marketing Lab sessions run monthly, on the last Thursday of every month, from 9:30 to 11:30am at Tonbridge Old Fire Station.

Marketing Lab 3, taking place on 25 June 2026, covers From Website Content to Video: Repurpose Your Content with AI — a hands-on session where attendees use ChatGPT or Claude to turn website content into a speaking script, then use HeyGen to create a finished avatar video. Upcoming topics are announced in advance at tnwmarketing.co.uk/events. Each session stands alone, so there is no requirement to have attended previous sessions. Previous topics have covered how to save 3-5 hours a week with AI for Marketing and SEO, AIO, GEO and how to ensure you appear on google and AI searches. These sessions are available on a 1:1 basis.

No. The Marketing Lab sessions are designed for business owners, founders, and directors as much as for marketing professionals. No prior marketing knowledge, technical experience, or familiarity with the tools is assumed. Sessions are pitched at practical beginner to intermediate level with no jargon and no theory-heavy slides. The exercises use your own business, so everything produced in the session is directly relevant to you regardless of your background or industry. If you create any written content — blogs, newsletters, LinkedIn posts — or want to understand how AI tools work in practice for your business, the sessions are built for you. The only requirement for Marketing Lab 3 is a laptop, a blog post you have written, and a digital photo of yourself.
