Vicksburg Area Marketing Professionals (VAMP) is making a comeback and inviting the community to take part. 

“Whether you’re in marketing, sales, customer service, or any profession that values networking and collaboration, VAMP offers a space to connect, learn, and grow,” VAMP President Alyssa Lick said.

Meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at Billy’s Italian Restaurant from noon until 1 p.m., VAMP is expanding its reach beyond traditional marketing roles, Lick said. The group welcomes professionals from all industries — car salespeople, hairstylists, customer service representatives, and more — who are eager to exchange ideas, build relationships, and enhance their business skills.

“We’re working to rebuild VAMP into a thriving hub for professionals who want to learn from each other,” Lick said. “Our goal is to feature a guest speaker each month, offering fresh insights and inspiration to attendees. We have a guest speaker for our April meeting, which is Brian Weaver, new owner of Fun Lanes Bowling Alley. We can’t wait to hear from him about his plans for a family fun environment in Vicksburg.”

Lick said, whether you’re looking to expand your professional network, gain new perspectives, or share your expertise, VAMP provides a welcoming and dynamic environment. Membership cost and other information is listed on our website at ww.vicksburgmarketing.com.
