About us
Welcome to the Moving Forward Small Business (MFSB) Meetup network!

A New Era: From NYMA to the Growth Strategy Accelerator
If you joined this group years ago to master marketing, the game has completely changed. We are officially evolving the legacy New York Marketing Association (NYMA) into a highly strategic, data-driven revenue hub.
Marketing is no longer just about branding; it is about measurable customer acquisition. We operate as a "Fractional CMO" for our members, bypassing basic social media tips to deliver the exact growth strategies, AI automation frameworks, and customer acquisition models that top-tier agencies use—scaled for your business.
Who Is This For?
This is a premium, mastermind-level environment for seasoned professionals. Our 3,100+ member cohort is built strictly for decision-makers:
- Founders & SMB Owners seeking predictable revenue engines rather than random acts of marketing.
- Agency Owners & B2B Consultants building high-ticket client pipelines and scalable operations.
- CMOs, Marketing Directors & GTM Strategists optimizing their omnichannel growth and customer acquisition costs.
What We Cover (Zero Vanity Metrics)
We focus exclusively on the mechanics of scaling a business:
- Strategic Customer Acquisition: Lowering CAC, maximizing Lifetime Value (LTV), and building referral loops.
- B2B Lead Generation: Using AI safely and strategically to turn platforms like LinkedIn into sales pipelines.
- The Modern Growth Stack: Integrating AI tools and video assets into scalable go-to-market (GTM) campaigns.
- Data-Driven ROI: Moving beyond "likes" and "views" to measure real revenue impact and retention.
