Our latest edition of Sweary Marketing Club took place on Thursday 19th March 2026 in Leeds City Centre. We we’re lucky enough to welcome two brilliant speakers (more on them below), as well as plenty of new faces.
From our very first event with 9 attendees, to now welcoming more than 25 people, it’s been great to see the community growing. We’re so pleased that people are enjoying the open, welcoming space we’ve created – and the shared learnings that come with it.
The speakers
How Lush Built a Brand of Stories, Community and Magic
Wendy Winters, Lush Cosmetics
Wendy Winters is a ‘lushie’ of 17 years with a front row seat to the pioneering, handmade and, at times, controversial world of Lush Cosmetics. She took us behind the curtain, sharing the products, values and storytelling that have inspired customers and staff alike to join the cosmetics revolution over the last 30 years. Maybe you too will find a reason to leave the world lusher than you found it…
No more one night stands
Nina Aggarwal, The Edge Consulting
Nina Aggarwal is a brand strategy and learning consultant with global clients across a wide range of industries. In a world of constant change, she and her team have done what many struggle with – kept strong working relationships with their best clients, many lasting more than Drawing inspiration from Elvis Presley, Stranger Things, and even a renal consultant, Nina shared lessons on how to build client–agency relationships that don’t just survive — they thrive.
Remind me, what IS Sweary Marketing Club?
A space to bring together current and former colleagues, friends and connections – to share knowledge, perspective and real world insight into all things marketing from across different industries.
No fluff, no ego’s, no pressure. Just open, honest and interesting marketing conversations.
It’s also a reflection of how we work at Ginger Fury — open, collaborative, and always learning.
Each edition of Sweary Marketing Club features guest speakers and the chance to ask questions, share ideas and learn something new.
And yes, more often than not, have a beer and get a bit sweary.
We have three founding principles:
- Everyone is welcome
- Respect all opinions
- Give back where possible
Other than that, anything goes!
