Our Story
For over 15 years, AMP-RI has been the heartbeat of Rhode Island’s marketing and creative community. We’ve weathered industry shifts, pandemic pivots, and platform changes—and through it all, we’ve remained committed to one thing: bringing people together.
Now, with a fresh-faced board and renewed energy, we’re entering an exciting new era. We’re reimagining what a professional marketing community can be—less about titles and territories, more about connection and collaboration.
Our Mission
AMP-RI exists to be a catalyst for positive marketing and growth practices in Rhode Island. We’re an engaged community of specialists, generalists, and curious learners with a commitment to inspire, celebrate, and connect our membership network.
What That Actually Means:
We create spaces where marketers at every career stage can connect authentically—not just exchange business cards, but build real relationships.
We facilitate learning that’s practical, not theoretical. Tour a brewery and learn their marketing strategy. Grab coffee and swap social media tactics. Real conversations, real takeaways.
We celebrate our community and the incredible work happening across Rhode Island—from the solopreneur launching their first campaign to the agency winning national recognition.
We remove barriers to entry, because we believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives. Student to CEO, everyone has a seat at our table.
The Road Ahead
This is AMP-RI’s new chapter, and we’re more excited than ever about what we’re building together. With monthly events, growing programming, and a community that keeps expanding, we’re creating the kind of professional network Rhode Island deserves.
Whether you’ve been with us for years or you’re just discovering AMP-RI—welcome. We’re glad you’re here.
Our Values
Community Over Competition
Rhode Island’s marketing scene thrives when we lift each other up. We share knowledge freely, make introductions generously, and celebrate each other’s wins.
Authenticity Always
No corporate jargon. No fake networking smiles. Just real conversations with real people about the real challenges and opportunities we’re all navigating.
Growth Through Connection
The best professional development doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when you’re troubleshooting a campaign challenge with a peer, learning a new platform from someone who’s mastered it, or discovering your next opportunity through a genuine connection.
Accessibility & Inclusion
From pricing our events to be budget-friendly to welcoming professionals at every career stage and background, we’re intentional about making AMP-RI a place where everyone belongs.
Rhode Island Proud
We believe in investing in local. Our events highlight Rhode Island businesses, our network supports the local economy, and our community strengthens the state we call home.
