    "People like me is a warm, judgment free space, to meet like-minded women and talk marketing and leadership challenges, without the fluff. I left feeling understood and armed with ideas from the wonderful women
    I met."

  • Clarisse Fraisse

    “When I first met Kelly she hooked me with the idea of fighting loneliness at senior marketing positions. This is something I have personally felt strongly about for the past couple of years, so I went to the first session…. and all the subsequent ones since! I love the lighthearted, respectful, smart atmosphere at these events, and I also made some lovely relationships along the way.”

  • NITZAN NEVO

    "I was truly honoured when Kelly invited me to take part in one of the People Like Me breakfasts. The intimate setting created a wonderful space for meaningful conversations on topics that impact us all- particularly within the world of Marketing but far beyond. I am sure to keep in touch with the women I've met, and excited to keep being a part of this growing community."

    Brand Director

  • RAE GIBSON

    “From my very first session, I left feeling energised and fulfilled. Connecting with incredible women across industries, sharing experiences, and realising we all faced similar challenges made me feel truly seen and heard.”

Networking badges. Bottomless Prosecco. The same conversation ten times in a row. This can’t be the best way to meet people, I thought. After 15 years in London, I already had a phone full of names of people I couldn’t remember; the last thing I needed was an even bigger chance of butt-dialling an awkward conversation five years from now. Or worse, someone subscribing me to another newsletter I’m too polite to leave. Surely there's a more rewarding way to find real connection.

As a woman working in the creative sector, the city felt, at best, manufactured and inauthentic, but at worst, like bro central. And the more senior I got, the smaller my circle felt. I didn’t need another beige canapé in the shadowy ballroom of a four-star hotel; I needed genuine conversations with lasting memories. Bring me your busy minds, your midnight multitaskers, your ambitious plate-spinners spouting their sleep-deprived delirium. I wanted to get to know people who run, create, build, or just geek out on the same nerdy brand stuff as me. It’s not about surrounding myself with the biggest hitters; it’s about finding the people willing to take a recklessly big swing in the first place. The kind that help you up from their castle in the sky or that still reach for the stars when they’re face down in the mud. I yearned to meet the kind of people who can own their shit, but still have a way to connect to a childlike curiosity. 

It all sounds so feck'in obvious now, but I needed People Like Me. So that’s why I started it.

OUR VALUES

  • Rebels with a cause

    Authenticity over approval

    Lower the work mask. Dial up the real you. We’re here for eye-watering belly laughs and “Oop. I can’t believe she said that!” So, come as you are, and make your own damn rules.

  • PLAYFULLY BOLD

    Playfulness over posturing

    If you schmooze, you lose. No one’s keeping score or looking over your shoulder for a more impressive name badge. All we ask for is a little bravery and a lot of heart.

  • Kindness

    Kind over cool

    We cheer. We champion. Whether we catch each other or fall face down in the mud, we understand that perfection is a myth, and all the best stories come from crawling through the messy bits together.

  • death to small talk

    Beyond the surface

    You’re never lost in a crowd. As we watch small talk die on the flaming sword of friendship, our tight-knit groups allow us to get narrow and deep on meaningful topics, and form connections that exist far beyond the space they’re created.

  • people like me

    For people like you

    The strongest connections are formed through shared experiences. We’re not building you an echo (echo echo) chamber. We’re aligning similar passions, goals, and life stages. Until it’s just people who get it: The job, the juggle, the passions, the struggle…and even the stupid jokes.

An evening cook-along and drinks at Mission Kitchen

Join us for a relaxed, hands-on cook-along and drinks evening with the People Like Me community.

This is an intimate event created for senior women in marketing, brand and creative roles, a chance to step away from the noise of the day, cook together, and connect in a meaningful, low-pressure way.

No panels. No pitches.
Just good food, great conversation, and a shared experience.
