Why Attend Marketing & Martinis?
Because we're talking about the business side of beauty.
This isn't about learning a new technique. We're talking marketing, getting more clients, funding, AI, branding, systems, and the things that actually help you grow your business.
Because you get access to the experts.
Skip the hour-long panels. Our Expert Roundtables give you a seat at the table to ask questions, get real advice, and learn from people who know their stuff.
Because the right room matters.
Meet beauty pros, service-based founders, creatives, and entrepreneurs who think bigger. Your next client, collaborator, or friend could be sitting right beside you.
Because business can be fun, too.
Self-care stations, permanent jewelry, tiny tattoos, shopping, martinis, mocktails, photo moments, and plenty to experience between conversations.
Because we make connecting easier.
No standing around wondering who to talk to. Meet Your Business Bestie, powered by Matchbox, is intentionally designed to help you meet people you actually want to stay connected with.

Meet the Experts
THIS ISN’T ANOTHER PANEL. PULL UP A SEAT.
Imagine sitting at a table with experts in marketing, AI, business funding, content, systems, client growth + more and actually getting to ask the questions you’ve been Googling, overthinking, or trying to figure out on your own. Our Expert Roundtables are designed to give you something most events don’t: access.
Small tables. Real conversations. Practical answers. Rotate through the room, meet the experts most relevant to your business, and leave with ideas you can actually use.
No long panels. No sitting in the back taking notes. Pull up a seat and get into the conversation.
Expert Roundtables are exclusively included with Founder GA + VIP tickets.

YOUR HOSTs
Why We Built This Room
Sunday, October 4th 2-5pm
We’re Zularie and Brittani, two entrepreneurs who know how powerful the right room can be.
Zularie has spent 10 years in the beauty industry and four years building her own six-figure beauty business. Brittani has been an entrepreneur for 15 years, building and scaling multiple businesses into the six and seven figures.
Together, we bring two different perspectives to Marketing & Martinis. Brittani is behind the lens, capturing the people, moments, and energy that bring the event to life, while Zularie is at the forefront, intentionally shaping the room, the conversations, and the connections happening inside it.
Marketing & Martinis was born from wanting more spaces where ambitious business owners could learn, connect, and have fun doing it.
So, we created the room we wanted to be in.

STILL NOT SURE if this is for you?
Frequently Asked Questions
We get it. Walking into a new room can feel intimidating, especially when you don’t know what to expect. Here are a few things you might be wondering before you grab your ticket.
Is this a women’s-only event?
Not at all. While many of our attendees are women, Marketing & Martinis is open to everyone. Bring your partner, friend, or business bestie.
Okay, I’m not a beauty pro. Is this for me?
Yes! Beauty is a big part of our community, but Marketing & Martinis is for service-based business owners, creatives, and entrepreneurs too. The conversations around marketing, funding, AI, branding, systems, and growth apply far beyond beauty.
I don’t know if I’m at the “right stage” in business for this.
There isn’t one. Whether you’re building your first consistent $5K month or scaling a team, there’s value in being in the right room. Come ready to learn, ask questions, and make connections.
Can I come alone?
Please do! Plenty of attendees come solo. We’ve intentionally designed the event to make meeting people feel natural, including Meet Your Business Bestie powered by Matchbox.
What are Expert Roundtables?
Think less “sit through another panel” and more “pull up a chair.” You’ll join small-group conversations with experts, ask questions, and get advice around topics like marketing, AI, funding, branding, systems, and more.
Can I bring my kids?
Marketing & Martinis is an adults-only event so everyone can fully enjoy the experience.
Where is the event?
Grand Bohemian Orlando in Downtown Orlando (their main Ballroom). $15 valet is available, along with nearby garages and street parking.
Are drinks included?
Founder VIP includes one welcome drink. After that, all guests will have access to a cash bar with cocktails, mocktails, and other beverages.
What’s the dress code?
Think dirty martinis, espresso martinis, and a splash of Bailey’s. Rich browns, muted greens, elevated neutrals, and business chic. Most importantly, wear what makes you feel confident.
