Triangle Marketing Club
Triangle Marketing Club (TMC) is where Triangle marketers learn, connect, and grow together.

Who We Are
Triangle Marketing Club is a community for every Triangle marketer, from your first role in the industry to leading a team of your own. We believe marketers grow faster together: sharing what's working, building real relationships, and learning from each other.
When a Triangle marketer wants to learn something new, meet the right person, or find a mentor, we want TMC to be the name that comes to mind.
Whatever stage you're at, from marketing coordinator to business owner, there's a place for you here. Most people show up for the events and end up staying for the relationships.

The Black Belt Business Podcast
Discipline, strategy, and growth for entrepreneurs building something that lasts.
Our host earned a black belt in Aikido, and he brings that same discipline to how he talks business. The Black Belt Business Podcast, hosted by Triangle Marketing Club, explores what a martial artist's focus and a founder's grind actually have in common: showing up, taking the hits, and getting back on the mat.
On the Black Belt Business Podcast, we sit down with business owners and marketers doing real work here in the Triangle. Whether you run a dojo, lead a startup, manage a marketing team, or build something entirely your own, this is a show about the work behind the wins, not the highlight reel.
