Imagine getting 24 hours’ worth of marketing tips from experts at top brands like Google, Amazon, Pinterest, and Adobe.

Now, imagine getting those valuable insights – for free.

Thanks to Semrush, this idea doesn’t have to exist only in your imagination because their Global Marketing Day conference has made it a reality.

“Global Marketing Day is my dream event,” says Olga Andrienko, VP of Brand Marketing at Semrush.

“I’d never seen a conference like it before. So, I wanted us at Semrush to create one that was unique, complex, and remarkable, yet so simple and easy for anyone to join and to watch.”

So what exactly is Global Marketing Day (GMD), and what can you expect when you attend? 

Well, for starters, it’s a nonstop, worldwide livestream event – and it’s truly one-of-a-kind.

GMD consists of 48 sessions where you can learn everything from how to recession-proof your business to how to build a strong community on social media.

On Thursday, Feb. 16, this 24-hour marketing conference will stream live from three studios in New York, London, and Dubai.

With 150+ featured speakers from the world’s biggest brands, Global Marketing Day is sure to provide valuable knowledge for you to apply to your own strategies. Because, as Andrienko puts it:

“Who doesn’t want to discover marketing tips from Google, Meta, and TikTok? Or learn how Xbox, Vogue, and Nestle market their products to their audiences?”

Additionally, marketers and business owners will have the opportunity to connect with experts directly via real-time questions.

And the best part of all? GMD is completely free to attend.

What Inspired The Creation Of Global Marketing Day?

Semrush has long been a powerhouse in the digital marketing space, with clients in 180+ countries and a strong global community of opinion leaders.

Though they’re mostly known as an SEO-focused brand, their products have evolved into an all-in-one marketing platform, which also includes content marketing, competitor research, PPC, and social media marketing.

“Our audience has always loved webinars,” Andrienko notes, “so video has proven to be a great format.”

Since hosting 7,000 attendees for Digital Transformation Day in 2018, the brand decided to expand upon the idea and create a webinar that would stand out from all other events in the world.

“24 hours nonstop sounded like a real attention-catching challenge,” says Andrienko. “So we went for it!”

Global Marketing Day was created to empower marketers from all over the world to connect and share knowledge.

It was also important for Semrush to make this knowledge accessible to anyone on the planet, from the comfort of their own home, and for no charge.

According to Andrienko, this is what makes GMD truly unique, as it reflects their values of inclusivity, innovation, and continuous learning.

Semrush first pulled off this ambitious concept in 2019, with more than 56,000 registrants and averaging over 15,000 live viewers at a time.

“We connected people from all over the world in a way that had never been done before,” Andrienko says, “definitely in a way that couldn’t have been possible in person.”

Global Marketing Day is a unique opportunity for you to learn from, network with, and get inspired by other marketers around the world.
