Building a Marketing Community That Actually Matters (with Chanel Clark)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s episode of Coffees and Content, I’m joined by the absolute powerhouse that is Chanel Clark — marketing consultant and founder of The Marketing Club (TMC), a growing community of over 10,000 marketers across Australia and New Zealand. 👏
We talk about how she built a thriving marketing network, how to stay real on LinkedIn (spoiler: no fluff here), and the not-so-pretty truth behind burnout and building something that matters.
Chanel shares how she unintentionally built a personal brand that sells without selling, why you don't need fancy tech to make your business work, and how to balance building your dream project alongside paid work — without losing yourself in the process.
If you’ve ever wondered how to grow a true community, build a business with heart, or bounce back from burnout, this episode is your sign. 💥
What We Cover:
- How Chanel turned a passion project into a 10K+ strong community (without a business plan!)
- The power of showing up as yourself on LinkedIn (and what that actually looks like)
- Going viral without trying - and what it taught her about marketing
- What most “community building” gets wrong
- How she manages consulting, content, events and community without burning out (again)
- Why authenticity is Chanel’s greatest marketing tool - and how it’s built her business
