Social Chicy presents · Ignite · Curated Networking
What if the right people came
to you?
Stop spending your evenings in the wrong rooms. Ignite is a curated, invite-only networking experience — where we hand-pick your right-fit connections and bring them to you.
Intentional.
Private.
Zero awkward small talk.
Curated networking that ignites your growth.
The wrong room
Spending your valuable evenings in a sea of people who aren't your right-fit stage, audience, or energy.
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.
The missing connections
Walking away without meeting the specific collaborators or referral partners who actually drive growth.
The follow-up fade
The momentum dies the moment you leave. No accountability, no warm introductions, just a dead-end email chain.
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.
"I built my entire business through relationships — not ads, not social media, not cold outreach. Just the right people at the right time. I wanted to create that experience for my clients — intentionally, every time."
— Steph Sides, Founder
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.

Real result · MaryBeth Kelly · Harmony Moon Healing Arts
One evening put her in the room with people who changed the direction of her entire business.
The Challenge
A talented massage therapist with a packed schedule but limited growth. MaryBeth wanted referral partners in energy wellness but was wasting time in standard networking rooms with transactional energy.
"The transformation wasn't just in my revenue—it was in my vision. I didn't just meet partners at Ignite; I found the courage to expand my business from a solo practice into a collective wellness vision."
The Ignite Impact
We hand-picked six practitioners for her private Social. Three came on a rainy Wednesday. Those three connections allowed MaryBeth to reimagine her practice as a full holistic healing center within weeks.
YES
Woman founder, coach, or service provider ready to grow
You're looking for referral partners, not just "leads"
You're done wasting time in rooms that don't match your energy
You want fewer, better connections
You're ready to follow through on new introductions
You know the right people are out there—you just need the introduction
Is this you?
This works when the fit is right.
NO
You just want to pitch the room and sell your services
You're looking for a massive crowd and a stack of business cards
You expect results without intentional follow-through
You aren't clear on your goals or who you need to meet
You bring a transactional energy to networking
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.
"The curated approach meant I didn't have to 'work' the room—the right people were already sitting across from me. It's high-level networking without the ego."
Sarah Jenkins · CEO, Flux Marketing
What people say
Real results. Real rooms.
"Ignite hasn't just given me contacts; it's given me a community of collaborators who actually follow through. My referral network doubled in just 3 months."
Emily Chen · Founder, Bloom Design
"Finally, a space where introverts can thrive. No awkward icebreakers, just intentional, curated conversations that lead to real, sustainable business growth."
