Free PM Forum membership for redundant marketers

As its contribution to the marketing community in this tough economic climate, PM Forum is delighted to be able to make available free membership (everything except a hard copy of the magazine as all articles are available online) to marketers that are made redundant by professional firms and are actively looking for a new position. This new service is intended to help people find a new position and serves as a partial substitute for formal outplacement as we observe that few if any firms are willing to pay for this invaluable service for their redundant marketers.

If you are aware of redundant marketers that would qualify for free membership whether as former members of your team or as friends/colleagues, please invite them to get in touch with us. We’ll need confirmation of the firm that used to employ them and a formal declaration that they are actively looking for a new marketing position in the professions with any short term consultancy work being incidental to their job search. Free membership will lapse after three months unless renewed.

The new group is not a substitute for PM Forum activities, but gives marketers the opportunity to build a wider network at no cost with those sharing an interest in the marketing of professional services firms. Please spread the word.

Online members' directory launched

Last month the PM Forum launched a new online directory of members to great interest from members and non-members alike.

It can be searched in two ways:

• Organisation search To find out which firms are members in a region or sector - this is available to non-members and members who have declined to be in the directory.
• Contact search A way of finding individual members - only available to members who have accepted to be in the directory themselves.
