"2200+ new leads and 15K+ raised for Black Girls Smile! Our work with Marisa was invaluable."

"This was after Season 1 brought in 1300 new leads and 80% responsible for the $87k launch that followed. Even better? We reused all the resources and templates for Season 2! The task list was so useful to keep us organized and on track. We felt confident! We knew the process, knew what to expect and knew how much energy/calendar space to set aside so it was easeful!"

The definition of Limelight:

the center of public attention, interest, observation, or notoriety.

and

one whose shine swells like a rising tide that lifts ALL boats.

Making money? Getting clients?

You know how to do that.
You already have a…

  • Successful 1:1 practice, group program or course (even if sometimes those clients and enrollments feel accidental instead of intentional)

  • Incredible results for your people.

  • Launches and/or promos under your belt (I don’t wear belts anymore, do you?)

  • You love what you do. (Most days - let’s keep it real. ;-))

  • You’ve hit goals and deeply understand the benefits of support to make it happen. And you want to keep growing but lead generation keeps you stuck in the audience growth goo.

You need consistent audience flow to sustain your staying power.

5 SIGNS IT’S TIME TO SHIFT YOUR AUDIENCE GROWTH PLAN:

  1. If you’re not running ads, you’re not getting list growth. (Not to mention, you’re not seeing the ROI from ads like the “before times” and the cost is HIGH!).
  2. Sure, social media efforts bring in new people but it’s more of a trickle and not enough to continuously fill your programs. “More people should know about the incredible work I do, damn it!”
  3. Interviews on podcasts? Guest teaching opportunities? Media coverage? HECK YES! You want more of it!
  4. Your current lead runway takes a loooonngggg time to build trust with prospects.
  5. And you can’t shake the feeling that you need to do something that makes a difference while growing your audience.

It’s time to come out from behind the curtain and take center-stage in your industry

without frying out, goin’ broke, or stepping over people to get there.

*The 5-Day Signature Summit System™ Enters The Chat*

*Every Limelighter agrees to use their summit to give back to causes they believe in.
To date, my clients and I have donated over $100K to charity.

"I've transformed my confidence and no longer working inside a vacuum. And yeah, $60k and 89% list growth in 30 days feels great, too!"

"Now, I'm a leader in my niche helping clients... with total integrity. Oh! And donating $2k to Kenzi's Causes which works to support underprivileged children and their families in Colorado by providing toys, food, school supplies, and more."

What Happens When You

Step into the Limelight

Forget What You Think You Know About Summits
This is Your Seismic Shift to Activate Your Sustainable Star Power
… And Transform The Summit Experience from “Meh” to Mind Blowing!”

“Live Your Best Life and Tap Into Your Soul” Summit

↓↓↓

A specific and intentional experience that calls in the right audience.

The generic “you’ll be exposed to an audience of 100K” pitch

↓↓↓

One that highlights why this expert is perfect and easily excites them to say HECK YES!

Speakers hunting down all they need to promote

↓↓↓

Seamless speakers process your experts RAVE about.

When you unlock the above 3 things, you create a summit where speakers and listeners are more obsessed than my mom and godmother 1st row at The Rolling Stones concert in the 60s.
Legend has it my godmother rushed the stage during “Get Off Of My Cloud”)

Our Show Up, Show Off method creates that Mick Jagger level swoon + ignites a moshpit of
“SELL SOMETHING TO ME!”

(it’s simple when your opt-in page converts at 50% or higher!*)

Most important

You create an experience - the speakers, topics, and give back - reflects the richly diverse online world we’re living in.

One that celebrates and amplifies voices.

A speaker line-up with 50% or more BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and people with disabilities (both seen and unseen).

*peep the testimonials, will ya? 😉 

Inside Limelight,

you get access to…

  • The 5-Day Signature Summit System™:

    The step-by-step system to help you create and execute your 5-day summit with just 10 speakers (nope, we don’t do the typical 20, 30, 40 guests). These are recorded into doable chunks for you (or your team!) to implement with total ease.

  • Signature Summit Blueprint Session:

    We’ll kick-off together to outline your summit theme, topic ideas, speaker buckets so you feel super prepared to - in the words of Mariah Carey - MAKE IT HAPPEN!

  • Bi-Weekly Hot Seat Calls:

    Up to 2 hours each call, you (or send your team!) get to ask ALL your summit questions from pitching, copy, to the backstage process.

  • Private Slack Channel:

    Get all your Qs answered as you implement each step as well as connect with your fellow Limelighters with ideas for topics and potential guest speakers!

YOU ALSO GET…

  • Pitch Playbook:

    My pitching system has been coined the “Red Hot Cold Call.” Access the 5 step pitching process PLUS every single pitch I’ve ever sent that got a HECK YES!

  • The Summit Copy Class:

    Send you or your copywriter to this class to swipe all my summit copy secrets. (Have I mentioned that every summit opt-in I’ve written converts at over 50%?)

  • Interview Like a Pro:

    Uncover the 5 steps to craft the perfect questions that help your guests shine and show you off as - not just the host - but a fierce expert, too. (Perfect if you have a podcast as summit interviews are slightly different!)

  • Speaker Onboarding Scripts:

    Me and my team stand by our speaker experience. Swipe our entire onboarding process with the perfect words for things like, “Uh oh, they didn’t share the solo!” or “No leads are coming through their link, now what?” without sacrificing the relationship.

  • The Referral Rolodex:

    My magic lies in being a fierce advocate for my people. I’ve been the intro for over $100K in work for my clients in the past 12 months alone. Let my reputation fuel yours. 😉

Brenna’s Behind The Launch Summit

Brenna hit her charity goal of $5K before the summit even started.

Update to this screenshot:

She brought in just about 1500 listeners, practically filled her season 2 from people reaching out to her, and created powerful industry connections.

A messaging app screenshot from Brenna McCowan to Marisa Corcoran where Brenna shares "We just hit 1000!" with lots of celebration and happy sobbing emojis. Marisa replied with "Ahhhhhh!!!!! So exciting!"

By Some Small Chance If You’re New Here You Should Know Winnie The Pooh Broke Me

I’ll never forget standing in the kitchen after getting the call: “We no longer need you to come in for the audition today. Thank you.”

Booking a role at one of the most well-known regional theaters in America was a foot in the door for bigger projects.

(My ideas for Rabbit were GD genius: a sassy cross between comedian Sebastian Maniscalco and Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny.)

That day, I decided to, never again, put my worth (or fate) in the hands of someone else.

Leaving acting behind, I went full-time in my copywriting business.

Red Gradient Bar@2x

In THREE years, I went from $50K to $1M+ (collectively) with a community just shy of 10K!

*blah blah blah*

no offense to my origin story but here’s a record scratch…

Because this is why the Winnie The Pooh story and my Harvard MFA matters to YOU:

Most of my actor friends that went on to “make it” CREATED THEIR OWN STAGE first and brought people to them.

(Think Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Issa Rae, the It’s Always Sunny gang, and likely any stand-up comic you love)

I swiped everything I learned as an actor from Harvard (all $178K worth!) and created my own stage = The Copy Chat.

to date…

The Copy Chat has featured over 100 business owners, filled ALL of my programs (without spending a dime on paid ads) and given over $85K to charity.

*puts on that Rabbit sass*

You can be part of an overhauled summit model that’s no longer something transactional and transient and now a transformational experience for the speakers, the listeners, and the creator (you!).

The Signature Summit System™ shows that you can grow your audience, your connections, fill your programs AND put diversity and inclusivity at the heart of your event.

WHY? Because if you’re reading this, you want to DO your summit.

You’re here to get it done.
And do it with intention.

Here’s how it works:

If you have a launch planned for early 2025, you’ll want to start planning in the Fall.

LIMELIGHT LIMITED TO 15 BIZ OWNERS MAX

(seriously, this isn’t an urgency trick. I’m with you every step of the way so I cap it at 15 people. Period.)

The deets.

What to know BEFORE you apply…

YOU’RE 100% a HECK YES TO THE FOLLOWING 11 THINGS...

  • You and your message and work are epic [dot] com. Now you need the audience growth to reach more people.

  • Ecstatic to let go of the typical summit model with 20+ speakers and embrace the 5-Day Signature Summit System (only 10 guests!) that creates your summit with intention - one your listeners AND speakers will RAVE about!

  • You have a team (ie, a VA and/or a small but mighty team) and/or willing to hire help for your summit so this show gets to opening night with total ease, especially for tech + speaker communication. *This is a non-negotiable*

  • Electrified to implement a lead gen plan that delivers on bringing in quality leads. (unlike the 30, 40, or *gulp* $50K you’ve spent on FB Ads)

  • Committed to creating a summit line-up with 50% or more BIPOC, LGBTQIA + and people with disabilities (both seen and unseen). *This is a non-negotiable*

  • Excited for Marianas Trench's depth of support and strategy to create a high-converting summit from the pitch, to the process, production and philanthropy!

  • Thrilled to have a seasoned copywriter and mentor with 7+ years behind some of the most successful summits online in your back pocket.

  • Maybe you’ve done a summit in the past but know there are a few CRITICAL gaps I can help you fill to make it even stronger.

  • Delighted to have a lead generation model you can repeat again and again! (Have I mentioned I’ve done 6 seasons of The Copy Chat with the SAME copy? Talk about ROI!)

  • Want a built-in relationship based marketing system to generate other opportunities. Let me put it this way – I’ve been featured in over 70 places (podcasts, guest teaching, speaking, and publications) and only pitched myself to TWO of them.

  • Understand that any lead generation growth in your business takes work especially when you level up from trickle to Niagara Falls. You know there’s ground work involved - from the design, copy, etc. - but also know these are assets you’ll use again and again.

In short, you’re a real deal entrepreneur ready to claim industry royalty -- and become a rising tide that lifts all boats.

Heck Yes

You should already be a solid HECK YES (think 8 out of 11) when you apply below (so read back through this, if needed ;-)).

My team and I will review your application and if it’s a fit, I’ll see you on the call to answer any lingering Qs you have before you’re ready to dive in.

If we take a peek and decide it’s not a fit (I’m serious when I say I handpick everyone for this experience), we’ll let you know AND let you know what might be a better fit for you instead.

KNOW THIS:

We’re at a Crossroads Online

One where we can either make the progressive change this industry desperately needs OR keep doing and tolerating the same old stuff.

You’re ready for the change.

Especially if you’ve asked yourself lately, “What’s my staying power?”

What’s my INFLUENCE going to look like?

For me, it’s about highlighting other business owners, amplifying the rich diversity of this online space, and being committed to becoming a rising tide that lifts ALL boats.

TO BECOME THE REAL DEAL RISING

This is how you’ll approach your summit.

  • Yes, you’ll grow your list and expand your community.

  • Yes, you’ll get more people inside your programs.

  • Yes, you’ll have a repeatable system you can use again and again.

So, like you read at the top, forget what you think you know about summits.

The critical difference with the Signature Summit System™ is the intention + integrity that floods every step of the process.

From the way you pitch, the speaker line-up, the topics, the interviews, the give back

– the focus on COLLABORATION over COMPETITION.

(Not to mention my knack for copy that converts ensuring you can use every single asset you create again and again.)

"I had no idea how fun and POWERFUL a summit could be for my business - 33% list growth in weeks!"

"I had such a positive response that people WANTED to be sold to when the summit ended.I feel excited to step into the summer months knowing I have red hot leads for my fall launch!"

– Linda Spence, Quiz Specialist + Creator of the Quiz-to-Cash Bash

TRANSFORM YOUR MESSAGE INTO A MOVEMENT

If that’s the kind of trusted lead generation system you’re ready to build, I’d be honored to help you make it happen.
