“OMG. You hosted one of the best summits of 2025 (big call considering I'm also a host myself haha)”
You've been sold a false choice.
…either you're a warm, human-first business owner who doesn't scale — or you're a conversion machine who burns out your people (and yourself) for the sake of the sale.
Neither of those is working. And neither of those is you.
The Holistic Marketing Summit: Hospitality in Marketing Edition is 17 conversations with the smart women actually running real businesses like yours — the ones who've figured out how to grow and like the way their marketing feels.
You've hit the ceiling, and the advice isn't adding up.
You built a business you actually like. You have people who love what you do. But lately, the marketing has started to feel like churning just to check something off your to-do list.
And the louder the internet gets about what you should be doing instead, the worse it all feels.
Post more. Post less. Do Reels. Ditch Reels. Cold DMs. Hot DMs. Launch every six weeks. Post three times a day. Make it feel urgent. Make it feel scarce. Make them want it so bad they can't sleep until they buy.
You've tried the shoulds. Some of them even worked for a minute.
But you can't sustain them.
You can't sustain them because they don't match how you actually want to run a business. And the further you get from that… the worse the marketing performs anyway.
Meanwhile, you're watching the market shift under your feet. People trust less. AI is everywhere. Engagement is down. Your smart friends are quietly panicking. And a loud chorus online is telling you the fix is to hustle harder or automate more.
Both of those answers make it worse.
“This summit pulled me out of ‘burn it down’ mentality and reminded me that I am not on the outside of the circle. I am actually on the inside of the way this experience unfolds for most people.”
Hospitality in marketing isn't a vibe. It's a business strategy.
“The perfect balance of smart, business badassery and human insights that reminds you — oh yeah, business is personal. Run it like you want to run your life.”
Here's what we actually mean when we say hospitality in marketing…
🤩 Treating the humans on the other end of your marketing like humans.
😊 Building a business where people buy, stay, come back, and tell their friends, because you've made them feel like a person, not a transaction.
Across 17 sessions, you'll hear from women who've built calm, profitable, human businesses in every corner of marketing — copy, SEO, ads, email, systems, AI, membership retention, launches, books, nervous system regulation, the whole thing.
You'll walk away knowing:
What to automate and what to leave human (and why getting this wrong is costing you sales right now)
How to turn the people already in your world into repeat, higher-ticket buyers — without building a new offer
The messaging shifts that cut through AI slop and get real replies
How to build an email list, SEO foundation, or ads system that nurtures instead of shouts
Why your marketing feels hard (it's usually structural, not personal)
How to run a sustainable, visible business as an introvert, a mom, a one-person operation, or all three
Practical. Specific. Implementable this month, not "someday."
17 sessions. One private podcast feed. Live roundtables. Zero dollars.
Hello!All of it is accessible May 1 and stays open through May 31 — listen through a private podcast feed so you can listen while you fold laundry or walk the dog.
Registration closes May 21 (so the last-minute folks still get ten full days to marinate inside). Live roundtables happen during the month with real-time Q&A and a mini networking session. Can't make the live ones? Recordings go up within a day, right next to the sessions.
No drip. No gatekeeping. No "unlock this by midnight." You get the whole thing, all at once, and you can move through it however works for your actual life.
Plus, the live stuff:
Live Roundtables with the Contributors. Come hang out in real time with the speakers who resonated most. Ask actual questions. Get actual answers. Stay for the mini networking session after and meet other business owners who think like you do.
Can't make it live? Recordings go up on the summit site and the private podcast feed within a day.
Free Gifts from the Contributors. Every speaker brought a resource for you to dig in deeper. Grab what's useful to you, ignore what's not.
"Thank you for the access all at once. It's refreshing and why I keep coming back for more."
— Past Attendee
I built this summit because I got tired of watching smart women pretzel themselves trying to make marketing "work."
I run Cheeky Copy, where I teach entrepreneurs, course creators, and service providers how to build a holistic marketing plan that's easier to show up for, actually points at their real business goals, and leads to way more sales with way less flailing.
This is the third Holistic Marketing Summit. The first two had over 900 attendees, telling me two things loud and clear: they adore be gifted spaciousness without urgency, and they want to hear from humans who genuinely give a damn.
So that's what this is. No urgency timers. No "limited spots." No "you'll never see this again." Just the most useful conversations I could pull together on the thing I believe will actually move your business in 2026: running marketing that treats your audience like people and still makes the money.

Summit Attendee
“I would say it was more the “whole vibe” part of the summit, I really enjoyed the conversations and lightheartedness. The interviews made me take a step back and really analyze my own strategies (or encouraged me to create a strategy).
Alison Patterson, Chief Philanthropic Strategist
“I have several sessions that I still keep thinking I need to go back and listen to.”
This Summit Is For You If…
✔ You've built something real and you can feel the ceiling pressing down
✔ Marketing has started to feel like a second job you didn't sign up for
✔ You've watched the "post cold DMs for 2 hours a day" advice come across your feed and thought "absolutely the fuck not"
✔ You want your audience to stay, buy again, send you referrals, and genuinely like you
✔ You want to grow without turning into a version of yourself you don't recognize
✔ You believe your people are people and you'd like your marketing to reflect that
One last thing.
If you've read this far, you probably already know.
You don't need more tactics. You need permission to run your business like you actually want to run it — and proof that the women who do it that way are also making the money.
That's the whole summit.
Free | Registration May 1–21, 2026 | Access through May 31 | 17 sessions, live roundtables, private podcast feed, contributor gifts
No upsell. No urgency games. Just the good stuff.
