Sound familiar?
You know networking works. But most networking doesn't.
Wasted evenings, stack of uncalled business cards, and lukewarm appetizers. The problem isn't you. The format is broken.
Why Ignite exists
After 13 years as a marketing strategist, I saw the pattern
nobody was solving.
As a marketing strategist for over 13 years, I've always prioritized networking because deep relationships drive more sustainable growth than any algorithm ever could. Relationships aren't just a tactic; they are the foundation of every successful venture I've lead.
But when my clients came back to me, the feedback was consistent: the rooms were wrong, the format was exhausting, and the small talk was painful. They were meeting people, but not the right people. I decided to change that pattern by hand-picking the room itself.
Meet your guide
Someone who knows
exactly who you need to meet
— and can actually make the introduction.
After 13 years growing Social Chicy through intentional relationships (no ads, no social media funnels), Steph Sides has mastered the art of the 'right-fit' introduction. As an introverted extrovert, she understands the exhaustion of traditional networking and built Ignite to be the room she always wanted to be in: curated, productive, and entirely referral-driven.

This works when the fit is right.
What does another year of the wrong rooms cost you?
The opportunity cost of the wrong room is stagering. Wasted evenings spent clutching lukewarm appetizers, business cards that sit at the bottom of your bag, and the silence of a follow-up that never happens. It's more than just a ticket price—it's momentum lost. The businesses that lead don't leave connection to chance; they get in the right room, at the right time, with the right introduction. That's exactly what Ignite is designed to do.
