Introducing The URL Community

It's like IRL but... online.

MKE DMC's online (URL) community helps Milwaukee digital marketers go from feeling disconnected between events to having an always-available network of peers, so they can grow more confidently through continuous access to community expertise and support.

Info

Being a marketer in Milwaukee is isolating at times. Maybe your team is small. Maybe your work remote. Maybe everyone's over-their-heads busy. That's why we built our IRL community at the Clubhouse. And now we're bringing that same energy online with URL Community – a dedicated space for Milwaukee's digital marketers to connect every day.

What's URL Community?

It's our online community platform (and yes, we're pretty proud of that name). While our IRL events happen monthly at the Clubhouse, URL Community is where Milwaukee marketers connect all the other days. Same great community, same helpful conversations, just... online.

We chose our platform deliberately. Half our IRL community lives in Microsoft Teams, the other half in Slack. So we built URL in a dedicated space that works for everyone – keep it open in your work browser or grab the app for your phone. Simple.

Who URL Is For

This is for our IRL crew, the folks who wish they could make it to events but can't, and the students just starting their journey. Whether you're in-house, agency, freelance, or figuring it out – if you're within 150 miles of Milwaukee and serious about digital marketing, you belong in URL.

And we've got big plans. We're rolling out new features throughout 2025 to make URL even more valuable for everyone.

How URL Works

Two ways to be part of the community:

IRL + URL Access

Make it to at least 2 in-person events per quarter and you'll automatically become an IRL member with special URL perks – including exclusive channels and content we're creating just for our most engaged folks.

URL-Only Access

Can't make it to IRL events? No problem. Just stay active in URL – log in and contribute to discussions weekly. We're not tracking this with a stopwatch, but we do want to keep the conversations flowing and valuable for everyone.

What You'll Find in URL

Real conversations, resources, connections, etc. Share your wins without feeling braggy. Ask about your struggles without feeling judged. Get honest feedback from people doing the same work – oh, and no sales folks allowed.

Need to fix your GA4 stream? Want to celebrate finally hitting your campaign goals? Your URL people are here.
