AMA Coffee Club

  • Marketer Marisa Upshot Coffee Flyby St. Louis, MO (map)

Coffee Club is a deliberately small, intentionally designed gathering for marketers, communicators, and brand builders who want real conversation, not sales pitches or performative networking.

It’s a space to think out loud.
To compare notes.
To trade patterns.
To leave with clarity, not just contacts.

No stages. No panels. No pitch decks.
Just good coffee, sharp people, and honest dialogue about modern marketing, communications, leadership, and growth.

What Coffee Club Is

  • A curated, community-driven meetup

  • A mix of practitioners across marketing, comms, brand, social, content, and strategy

  • A place for emerging leaders and seasoned operators to learn from each other

  • A low-pressure environment that prioritizes curiosity over credentials

Think: part salon, part roundtable, part group therapy for people who care deeply about their craft.

What We Talk About

Each Coffee Club has a loose theme, often centered on:

  • Data-driven communications & measurement

  • Personal and team positioning (“earning your seat”)

  • Building influence inside complex organizations

  • Modern content, brand, and storytelling

  • Career navigation and leadership growth

Conversation is guided, but never rigid. The best insights usually come from the room.

What You’ll Leave With

  • New perspectives

  • Practical ideas you can actually apply

  • A few meaningful new relationships

  • And probably a renewed sense of “oh good, it’s not just me.”

Who It’s For

  • Marketers, communicators, and brand leaders

  • Strategists, creators, and operators

  • People who like substance, not small talk

If you’re curious, thoughtful, and building something — you’ll fit right in.
