Who We Welcome

We believe our membership should reflect the diversity of the marketing profession, the City of London, and wider UK society. As such, we welcome experienced marketing and agency leaders from a broad range of backgrounds, including:

• Senior industry leaders such as Non‑Executive Directors, CEOs, CMOs, academics, and other senior professionals.
• Accomplished practitioners with deep expertise gained in business, public sector, academic, or military environments.
• Early‑career high achievers who have demonstrated strong marketing or agency experience in commercial or not‑for‑profit settings.

Why You Should Join The Marketors

1. You want to make your ‘giving back’ count—channelling your time, talent and resources into meaningful projects that make a genuine difference to charities, communities, and the marketing profession.
2. You value high standards and see membership as a reflection of your own commitment to personal, professional, and ethical excellence—ready to engage fully and for the long term.
3. You enjoy the best of tradition and innovation, joining a Modern Livery Company with a proud Foundation and Royal Charter that also embraces digital culture and hosts exceptional formal and informal events for members, families, clients, and guests in some of London’s finest venues.
4. You want to collaborate with peers who inspire you, contributing your expertise to panels, projects, and working groups that promote and support careers in marketing—while building new friendships along the way.
5. You’re drawn to the unique heritage of the City, relishing the chance to become a Freeman of the City of London, experience its pageantry, and take part in the historic traditions that few professions ever access.

What does it cost?

Membership of the Marketors costs around £450 per year, either payable annually or in monthly instalments. There is a £500 joining fee. It is then free for members to participate in the Company’s mentoring, outreach and education/skills activities. The Marketors run events throughout the year, some of which are free to members, others of which cost between £20 to £175 per head, depending on the format.

Our four-step joining process:

1. Contact our Membership Team

Please email our team via: membership@marketors.org, including the title of your current role and a link to your LinkedIn profile and we will come back to you with any clarification questions we may have and if appropriate, an application form.

2. Complete our Application Form

Our application form gives you the opportunity to share some more information about yourself in the context of our purposes. Once completed, your application is submitted to the membership committee.

If you would like to find out more about us before applying, we run several open evenings a year. Click here to book onto our next open evening.

3. Interview

Once you submit your application form, we will then invite you to an online interview with 1 or 2 of our existing members, which will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.

4. Confirmation

Assuming the interview goes well, we will confirm your membership, including seeking approval by our Court, the senior team that leads the Company.

Once you have been approved, the Clerks’ Office will contact you and invite you to be formally admitted by being granted your Freedom of the Company at the next Great Event or Ceremonial Court meeting. The process is very quick once we receive your form.
