MARKETING x SALES

The half-day workshop for founders.

Get clear. Get confident. Get clients.

Saturday 1 August 2026 | 10am to 2pm | Studio Branco, Dubai
Earlybird price: AED 275

Hosted by Lucy, The Mouthy Llama x Gilbert Dougherty

You're good at what you do. So why is it so hard to say it?

Most founders don't have a content problem. They have a clarity problem, and then a confidence problem when it's time to actually sell. This morning fixes both. In the room. Not in your notes app.

What to Expect

10:00 | Welcome + founder intros. Meet the room in 30 seconds each. (Don't worry, we fix those intros by 1:15.)

10:25 | Clarity + positioning, with Lucy. Your audience, your one-liner, your space to own.

10:55 | Back to Basics, live. Phones out. Your Instagram bio, rewritten in the room.

11:25 | Light bites, refreshments and chit-chat.

12:05 | Sales, with Gilbert. Sell with confidence. Ask without cringing.

1:15 | The Pitch Finale. Every founder pitches their business to the room, out loud, to applause. This is the bit you'll still be talking about next month.

Your hosts

Lucy Demming

Founder of The Mouthy Llama

The marketing half. Quirky, creative, analytical, and allergic to generic messaging. Eleven years across hospitality, fashion, beauty and wellness, now on a one-woman mission to get founders back to clarity before they post another word. She plans everything. You'll benefit from that.

Sales Expert & Coach

Gilbert Dougherty

The sales half. High energy, zero fluff, and infectious about it. Gilbert turns 'I hate selling' into 'that was actually fun' before you've noticed what happened. He gets things done. You'll leave with that energy in your pocket.

What You Walk Out With

✓ A one-liner that stops the scroll

✓ An Instagram bio that actually converts, rewritten live

✓ A repeatable sales approach you'll genuinely use

✓ Your 60-second pitch, delivered and applauded

✓ A room of founders who know your name

Half a day.

Whole new message.

Founders and business owners who are done winging their message and their sales conversations. If you've ever fumbled 'so, what do you do?', this is for you.
Yes. Kindly, supportively, to a room that's doing it too. It's the most valuable 60 seconds of the day and you'll be prepared for it by the time it comes.
Your phone, your business brain, and an open mind. We provide the workbook, the pens and the food.
Yes, light bites and good coffee mid-morning. Enough to fuel you, not enough to send you to sleep.
Tickets are non-refundable but fully transferable: can't make it, send a founder friend in your place.
