Come for the opportunities.
Stay for the community.
Freelancing doesn’t have to be lonely. The EM Community was created to help independent marketers support one another. We connect you with consulting opportunities, and we also provide you with the support you need to make each engagement a success, and that includes membership in our community.

Find your people
Need a referral for a graphic designer? Looking for A/B testing tools? Want to know how to price an engagement? Get trusted referrals and advice from marketing consultants with first hand knowledge and experience. Share your own expertise so people can feel confident referring you. With over 400 consultants from every marketing discipline, there’s sure to be someone who can help with whatever your current challenge is. Here’s how to connect to the community and find your people.
Connect regularly with a small group face to face in your area or online for accountability, validation, encouragement, and practical advice.
We bring the community together a few times a year to learn and have fun together. It’s a great way to get to know people and grow your network.
“THE EM CIRCLE” is the name of our online community. A circle can represent a group or shared space and also unity, equality, and support. This name embodies the safe and welcoming community we will continue to grow on the platform.
Drop in for EM news and events. Ask questions, share your expertise — and your latest fun obsession!
Follow us on social media to follow the latest marketing trends and see what our consultants and other marketers are talking about.
Several of our consultants are also business coaches who are intimately familiar with the challenges of growing a consulting business, and offer their services to EMers at discounted rates.
Add a fellow marketing consultant to your network every week by signing up for Donut, a Slack matchmaking app for professional networking online.
Share your expertise by offering a lunch and learn online or in person. Stay up to date by attending lunch and learns put on by your peers.
