WiM-BG 🇧🇬 NEWSLETTER EDITION #002

brightonSEO partnership and upcoming events✨

Hello wonderful people,

Welcome to our second newsletter edition! With so many updates and upcoming events to share, let's dive right in.

Sofia Networking dinner - sneak peak 🤩

Last month was our first-ever in-person networking dinner in Sofia. Speakers Ana Dinkova and Vassilena Valchanova blew us away with their insightful and thorough, yet honest and heartfelt talks.

Here's a sneak peak of some of the key moments during the event.

As mentioned during my little speech at the start of the evening, this is only the beginning in bringing the community of women in marketing in Bulgaria together! But what an amazing start of our in-person events program it was! ✨

I'm incredibly grateful to all of you, who left feedback in the feedback form - seems you all had a great time, and shared some really awesome ideas on how we can make these gatherings even better next time! ♡

If you're getting a bit of FOMO, you can buy a ticket for our next networking dinner in Plovdiv!

Our very first in-person networking dinner in Plovdiv will happen in September. The two talks of the night will be centred around the two most common career paths in marketing: Freelance VS.
