CIM Centenary Celebration

The centen nary celebrat tion Isle of Man Branch 22 September 2011

Welcome to our birthday party celebrating 100 years of The Chartered Institute of Marketing...

About The Chartered Institute of Marketing The Chartered Institute of Marketing is the leading international professional marketing body with members worldwide. First established in 1911 it defines the marketing standards that operate in the UK and is the global champion of best marketing practice. The Institute exists to develop the marketing profession, maintain professional standards and improve the skills of marketing practitioners, enabling them to deliver exceptional results for their organisations. It does this by providing membership, qualifications and training to marketing professionals and businesses around the world. Visit www.cim.co.uk for more information.

Our aim for this evening is simple; that our members get to know each other over a drink and good food, plus there’s the chance to win a copy of the Institute’s new book ‘The Marketing Century’, and no party would be complete without a goody bag and cake for everyone to take home.

All light-hearted fun we hope.

Tonight’s gathering of the Island’s finest marketers, on this auspicious occasion, would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors – please take the time to thank them personally for their involvement and ask how they can help you in your business – details are opposite.

On a more serious note, the profession has arguably never been more important, nor more accountable. Indeed it’s marketers who can apply their skills and knowledge to finding and profitably connecting with customers in the current competitive and economic climate. Doing so makes our contribution felt and valued, setting us apart from our counterparts and securing seats on the boards of the best businesses that are weathering the storm. ‘Keep calm and carry on marketing’ so says the slogan.

Enjoy, eat and be merry!

“Achieving branch status was a huge milestone, and it is great to see CIM Isle of Man grow from strength to strength”

A century of driving the marketing profession forward 1911 - On May 16 1911, marketing as a profession began in the UK when 12 individuals met at the Inns of Court Hotel in London and created a new professional association.
