Let's come together, reconnect and talk about mental health

To be great marketers, to be good leaders, to be successful in business and to flourish in our lives, our ‘mental fitness’ matters. We all feel lonely from time to time. One of our goals at The Marketing Society is to nurture this positive community and help you to connect, support one another and feel good; inspiration, conversation and connection can help us all feel less alone.

In this month's issue, we recognise Mental Health Week and this year's theme of 'loneliness' with content from our community. Listen to honest conversations on loneliness, empathy and the power one human can have on another. Read our writer's take on personal reinvention, kindness and the key to self-care.

Want to do more to connect with the community? Find out more about how you can join us.
