Our aim is to bring integral business skills – like marketing – to you and your firm at no cost.
Why are we doing this?
Firms often struggle to access high-quality, business development and marketing CPD to provide for their staff, so we decided to take matters into our own hands.
In essence, Magpie CPD was developed to bridge the gap in marketing knowledge within the professional services sector.
We want our platform to act as a repository of knowledge – based on practical expertise – to ensure that your marketing prowess goes hand-in-hand with your technical expertise.
What are we offering?
Magpie CPD offers a range of great topics.

Upcoming Course:
Human. Relatable. Attention-grabbing.
Date & Time: 16th July @ 11am
In this upcoming MagpieCPD webinar, Callum Macrae, Marketing Director, shares practical tips on how to harness the power of video and podcasts to boost your firm’s visibility, referrals, and reputation – without blowing your budget or your time.
Here are the insights you could be taking away:
• Why one in five UK adults listen to podcasts weekly, and how to reach them
• How 40 per cent of Gen-Z use TikTok as a search engine – and what that means for your marketing
• The rise of people-first content and why it drives referrals, recruitment, and trust
• How to create short-form video that works, without fancy kit or a social media manager
• How to turn your expertise into scroll-stopping content – quickly and simply
• Why video and podcasts keep working long after you hit publish
Whether you are new to this or want to do it better, this session will give you clear, actionable guidance to modernise your marketing and connect with your audience.
All these sessions and many more will be available to you – entirely for free – over the next year.

What’s with the magpie?
Like a magpie, we’ve been gathering shiny nuggets of wisdom and storing them in a centralised ‘nest’ (our team) for over 25 years.
Unlike magpies, however, we’d love to share what we’ve gathered with you.
As the nursery rhyme goes, “one for sorrow, two for joy” – sharing our knowledge gives us a real sense of pleasure.
Come and join us – get an insider’s perspective on marketing.
