Tuesday 28th July, 2026
The Athenaeum Club

In today’s digital-first world, strong visual content isn’t just important, it’s essential. The right images and videos don’t just showcase your club, they shape its brand, capture attention and enhance the perceived value of membership.

Building on previous workshops on brand and club communications, this hands-on, practical session will equip you with the skills to create high-quality visual content using just your smartphone.

You’ll learn how to capture professional-looking photos and videos that bring your club’s story to life, and how to incorporate them into your marketing and communications, including social media - organic and paid - and newsletters.

Designed for club professionals - particularly those who oversee marketing activity - this workshop will give you the tools and confidence to create compelling content that drives engagement and sets your club apart.

Join us for the CMAE England Summer Dinner 2026.

Time: 7.00pm drinks, 7.30pm dinner
Venue: The Athenaeum Club, 107 Pall Mall, St James's, SW1Y 5ER
