We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Brittany Marcus a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Brittany, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I love being the connector. I love bringing people together and I adore a good time. My business thrives on Education, Innovation and Collaboration. I launched my first networking event March 28th, 2017 on my Fashionversary ( My fashion anniversary) . This event only brought in 7 people and I was devastated but I did not give up. I began to do more research , network, and think of innovative ways to bring people together. Fast forward to January of 2021..
I hosted a relaunch of my networking mixer with food, libations and like minded women. It sold out! I couldn’t believe my eyes. The women were asking for more and even asking to be educated on proper branding and marketing. This event went from being once a year to being a quarterly event. I have now witnessed the same women build organic relationships and network outside of my events. It felt good to see these women building their own tribes and expanding their villages.
I believe giving the women and now men an outlet and letting them know what to expect and knowing that they have a safe space to network was unique and fulfilling. Being accessible to my colleagues and providing them with information to expand their knowledge and network was unmatched.. This excites me and made me want to expand to assist other networks.
I now have started Midwest Music and Mingle that will launch November 12th, 2022 and will cater to the creative and people who enjoy creative spaces. I wanted to provide a safe space for musical artist and artist to network and collaborate with other creatives as well as meet their fan base and cross collaborate fan bases. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to schools for art supplies and artist to come speak our little creatives to keep creatives alive.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Networking and Education. I am very intentional regarding my presence. I attend events that I will enjoy as well as events that are relative to where I want to be in life. It is imperative to be intentional with you time and soak up all the relative knowledge to be successful. I also continue my education whether it is a workshop or even a certification because not only do I gain knowledge but I am also exposed to other like minded individuals who I can grow with or learn from.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
Your friends and family are not your target audience. You have to do your research and attract the relative people that align with your brand. Sometimes that may be your family and friends and sometimes it will not be. You have to operate your business based on the principles and foundation that you set up and remember its business!
