Education & Training

We have pioneered the UK's only professional services marketing qualification, The Professional Services Marketing Pathway , in association with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and The Cambridge Marketing College . We are the only provider of the professional services Pathway qualifications at Certificate, Diploma and Post-graduate level. The new CIM syllabus now allows us to deliver a new course, which is more tailored for professional services marketors and will, for the first time, introduce a new client development and key account management module. 

Professional Services Marketing Handbook (New publication)

PSMG was instrumental in the publication of the new Professional Services Marketing Handbook and the editor of the Handbook, Nigel Clark, has been appointed as a non-executive Director.

National and International Events Programme

PSMG's events are structured into linked learning programmes, with clear sign-posting about the appropriate level of experience and expertise of those who should attend. Our Director Breakfasts, lunchtime workshops, and the PSMG Annual Conference are augmented by half day and full day courses in UK and International key business centres.  All our seminars carry CPD points.   Members attend the whole of our events programme at a significantly reduced cost.

International Perspective

Many members find their roles have an increasingly international component and we provide connections with our international affiliates in the USA, Australasia, Europe, South America and the Middle East. Members are able to take advantage of preferential rates to attend any of our affiliates programmes.

Training Days

Alongside our popular lunchtime seminars, we also run a programme of intensive training days.  Members are invited to recommend topics and speakers they would like to see included in the programme.

Bespoke Courses

While training days are open to all members, we are also now able to design and deliver bespoke courses for member firms. The combination of our event organisation and experience and knowledge of experts and training providors in our industry makes us an ideal partner for members seeking to design and deliver tailor-made courses. Professor Malcolm McDonald is our non-executive Chairman and Academic Advisor.

Research and Benchmarking

In 2015/16 we will be launching an exclusive members-only research and benchmarking club, which will allow marketing leaders in our industry to learn more about best practice in peer firms and the expectations and needs of clients.

Mentoring and Best Practice

We will soon launch a new members service to match prospective mentors and mentees in our industry. This service will also help members identify and connect with peers on best practice across a range of topical issues and marketing and business development disciplines.

Networking & Communications

This is a key part of PSMG's role. We offer a wide choice for members to connect with each other as well as continuing to provide high quality face-to-face opportunities to interact with peers and colleagues. Our market leading bi-monthly magazine offers access to high level thinking across the sector. 

The PSMG Magazine

Our quarterly magazine is now regarded as the market leader and continues to explore topical issues written by experts in areas relevant to our industry.  Members are invited to contribute, either by writing articles or by sharing news from their firms. Following positive feedback we have recently switched to publishing an e-magazine and all articles from previous issues are available in our Knowledge Bank.

Knowledge Bank

The PSMG Knowledge Bank provides the latest thinking from leading industry commentators.  Research from top level professional services analysts, educators, academics and consultants assists with professional and personal development. The Knowledge Bank is only accessible to members.
