You're invited to a brand new live event for DTC entrepreneurs & marketers
Most marketing events are just a firehose of content...
And you’ll enjoy some incredible sessions at this event, too. But you can only sit and listen to people talk for so long before your brain starts to feel soggy.
That’s why Smart Marketer Live is going to be different. We’re prioritizing: fun, connection, wellness, and tailored advice to give you a 2-day experience unlike any other!
An event space that motivates, energizes & inspires.
At this event, you won’t be sitting in a dry conference room that drains you of energy and creativity. That’s because we’re hosting Smart Marketer Live at the Denver Art Museum: an architectural marvel that’s sure to make you feel motivated, energized and inspired.
This year, I attended Smart Marketer Live for the first time, and it delivered on every level. The event was friendly, inclusive, and zero spam—everyone was willing to share knowledge. Seeing Molly and Ezra was a big moment, and I loved coming away with new connections. I feel fired up for 2025 and ready to implement all the learnings in my business!

Leave with a personalized, detailed action plan.
Yes, we’re going to have a great time. And yes, you’re going to connect with a ton of incredible marketers and business owners.
But above all you’re going to leave with a detailed action plan, the knowledge to execute it, and the support & motivation to see it through.
- Solve your biggest problems with the help of Industry Experts.
- Discover where you should focus your time & energy in 2026.
- Get a full tactical playbook covering every high-impact department.
- Establish a strong network of new friends, mentors & collaborators.
- Level-up your business mindset to stay focused & motivated as you grow!
It’s really important to have a soundboard of like-minded business owners to just get some of the stuff out of your head...
Especially in these entrepreneurial areas. You go to the bar with your buddies and many are working normal jobs, and you try and share some of your thoughts or ideas…
They just look at you like you’re an alien. Being in a position where there’s a common understanding is highly valuable.”
