Membership

Education and Training

1.  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 marketers and will, for the first time, introduce a new client development and key account management module. 

2.  If your firm pays the government’s Apprenticeship Levy (all companies with a salary bill over £3m per year do) then the cost of any Business Development, Marketing and PR training courses delivered by PSMG and CMC through this apprenticeship scheme will be covered by the Levy.

Apprenticeships are suitable for new recruits and your current employees who want to learn whilst they earn! It is the perfect way for firms to develop the next generation of talent.

Anyone with ambition and drive can take a BD/Marketing or PR “apprenticeship” at any stage of their career. There is no age limit. There are no hidden costs! In addition, if you take advantage of our programme, the government will add a further 10% to your National Apprenticeship Service Account!

Professional Services Marketing Handbook 

PSMG was instrumental in the publication of the Professional Services Marketing Handbook and the editor of the Handbook, Nigel Clark, is a long standing 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.

Mentoring and Best Practice

We offer a 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. To complement this, we run a “Managing to Lead” series for senior Managers progressing up the career ladder.

This is a key part of PSMG's role.
