Marketing

The Marketing Expert Exchange offers you the opportunity to learn the latest on third-party delivery,  menu innovation, contactless payment & technology trends, local store marketing, social media, creative marketing plans and more. Don’t miss your chance to talk through issues and learn directly from other marketing leaders in the restaurant industry.
 

Listserv

We’ve created a marketing listserv as an added value to our members. The listserv is an effective way to ask your colleagues questions, share news, and contribute to discussions on issues important to professionals in your field. To be eligible, you must work full-time in the field of advertising, branding, communications, social media or marketing for a company that is a restaurant member of the National Restaurant Association. Click here to subscribe.
 
Once you join the list, simply send your email message to marketing@lists.restaurant.org. Your message goes to everyone who is subscribed to the list.
 

Expert Exchange Gatherings

 
Our Expert Exchange Gatherings are a way for our communities to connect virtually. These are collaborative, informal, operator-led events, and they’re intended to touch on topics that are pressing and relevant to your jobs and to the restaurant industry as a whole. If you attend, you will get the opportunity to meet online with your peers, share, learn, and ask questions in an engaging and safe peer-to-peer environment. At a time when we cannot meet in-person, the need for connection is more important than ever. We are pleased to offer these Gatherings across all our communities on a recurring basis.
 
Please note the majority of our Gatherings are for National Restaurant Association members only. If you are interested in participating or curious when the next Gathering will be held, you may opt-in here to the community of your choice, and gain access to our calendar of upcoming Gatherings.
