Low stress, high vibe networking

Wee Bit Social Events

Networking, coworking and workshops for busy business owners

Events & Community at Wee Bit Social

Running a business can feel lonely, especially when you’re juggling clients, orders, ideas, and everything else that comes with being a business owner. Over the years, I’ve realised just how powerful it is to bring people together in real life — to talk things through, share experiences, and feel a little less alone.

That’s why events are now such a big part of what I do.

I’ve been running Wee Bit Social events since 2017, creating relaxed, welcoming spaces for small business owners to connect, learn, and take time out of their working week for themselves and their business.

Why I run events

I don’t run events just to tick a box. I run them because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when business owners:

Get out of your own space, it can be lonely running your own business
Share ideas and encouragement, sometimes you need to be around others in a different setting to get inspiration and kickstart your creativity
Build your community, collaboration is the way forward and the business owners who come to my events always walk away with new friends and future collaborators. Whether you’re joining us for Coffee & Chat, a Coworking Day, or a Content Creation session, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are.

I also run various workshops throughout the year and evening events throughout the year.

Coffee & Chat

Monthly networking for small business owners

Coffee & Chat is my monthly networking event for small business owners, held at Tigerlily in the heart of the city.

If the word networking makes you feel a bit uneasy, you’re not alone — and this is exactly why Coffee & Chat exists.

First time networking? No problem!

People often tell me how warm and welcoming the space feels the moment they walk in, especially if they’ve never been to a networking event before. Coffee & Chat was created as a relaxed, informal alternative to traditional networking, no pressure, no pitching, and no expectation to talk to everyone in the room.

This is a space for proper chat.

I truly believe that meeting and chatting with a handful of people, having a real conversation, is far more valuable than racing to hand out a card to 50 people in the room and thats what coffee and chat is all about, real business owners, having real conversations, no cliques and a morning away from your business with great coffee in a relaxed space.

What does it look like?

Each month, a friendly group of business owners comes together to:

  • Take a break from your business and do something for your business.

  • Learn something genuinely useful from an expert guest speaker

  • Leave feeling more connected, supported, and confident

One thing people particularly love is that I encourage everyone to connect with each other on social media, helping those conversations continue beyond the room.

Coffee & Chat is about community, conversation, and feeling like you belong, whether it’s your first networking event or your fiftieth.

Marti makes you feel super welcome"

I love this event so much! Marti makes you feel super welcome and connecting with other friendly self-employed business owners makes you realise you’re not alone. I’ve met some fantastic people over the years since I started going and worked with other business owners I met at Coffee and Chat, so really recommend it!

Coffee & Coworking

A full day of focus, connection & coffee

My coworking days are designed for business owners who want to get out of their own heads, change their environment, and actually get things done.

Join us for a day of coffee and coworking in a gorgeous central Edinburgh space, surrounded by like-minded small business owners.

Your ticket includes:

Coworking from 9:00am – 5:00pm
The flexibility to join for a half day, full day, or whatever works for you
A friendly, supportive group, who like to chat but also get shit done!
Unlimited tea and coffee throughout the day
2 soundproof booths to take calls if needed on the day without interruption

It’s productive without being intense, social without being distracting and a brilliant way to get the creative juices going in a different space.

"Marti has a fantastic energy"

Attending the coworking day hosted by Marti was a refreshing and productive experience.  As someone who often works solo, it was invaluable to be in the company of like-minded women in business.  The sessions were a perfect balance of focused work and meaningful networking.  Marti has a fantastic energy that makes the environment both supportive and fun, allowing us all to connect while getting things done.  I highly recommend her sessions to anyone looking to break the isolation of working from home while making lovely new business connections. Looking forward to the next one.

Content Creation Days

Confidence, clarity & video content that feels doable

A few times a year, I run Content Creation Days, small, in-person sessions focused on helping business owners feel more confident with video content and actually start posting.

These are hands-on, supportive days where we combine strategy, confidence coaching, and practical content creation.

During the sessions you’ll:

  • Learn what makes great video content for Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook

  • Understand how to create video content with the time you actually have

  • Build confidence on camera with practical techniques and support

  • Take part in brainstorming and idea generation

  • Film some content on the day so you leave with videos ready for future use

What does it look like?

I’ve been teaching business owners how to market themselves online through social media since 2016, including how to create video content that feels natural, manageable and not like a full-time job.

These sessions are designed to be relaxed, supportive and genuinely useful, whether you’re confident online already or still avoiding pressing record on Instagram Stories. Expect practical advice, honest conversations, plenty of encouragement and a room full of lovely business owners all figuring it out together.

To keep things friendly and personal, spaces are intentionally limited to a small group, giving everyone time for questions, feedback and time to film content on the day!

"Best Money I've Spent On My Business This Year!"

I went to Marti’s video content workshop and it did not disappoint. Marti has a habit of bringing fun people from different types of business into the same room. She is engaging and has to-the-point, relatable and up-to-date information to share. Always practical, always hilarious and I went away with pages full of ideas. A morning well spent. I will definitely be attending her workshops in the future!

Marti is an absolute pleasure to be tutored by, in the arts of Instagram. I spent a 90-minute power session with her, as she constructively critiqued my IG account, pointing out where I could be stronger, what pitfalls to avoid and how to be more “me” online. I never felt put down by her comments – it was all positive engagement, delivered in the warmest tones. She’s a lot of fun! And I learned an incredible amount about Instagram in just an hour and a half. I totally recommend Marti, if you’d like some support and advice on all things Insta.

Isla Aitken

I’ve loved working with Marti and really enjoyed our sessions. She knows so much and shares it all in a really fun way. The sessions were structured in a really logical way and I was able to immediately put into practice what I had learned. I feel so much more confident now with managing my Instagram feed and I am enjoying seeing the results.

Sarah Brown

Marti is just amazing! I first came to her as I was absolutely clueless about Instagram and had no idea of what or how to post. Shes given me the confidence and skills to share my business on social media and now I really enjoy it. I even love doing reels!!

Laure Dobie

Marti is absolutely brilliant at what she does! I was feeling a little bit stuck with content- and I really felt I needed an outside, objective perspective to help get me back on track. Marti provided some great insights into what she thought was working well (and not so well) for me and was full of ideas for new things to try. She gave me all the perspective I needed to implement a fresh strategy for my content and really helped me to realize where my strengths were. I would highly recommend Marti’s services if you are feeling bored with your content, looking for an impartial perspective or feeling stuck for ideas (plus she’s loads of fun and full of great business chat)!

Rhiannon Louden

I recently attended a great event with Wee Bit Social in North Berwick! It was really useful but also fun and friendly! Great to have something in North Berwick as well! Thanks so much and I’m looking forward to future events! X

Jemma Kerr

Marti was amazing. This was a training session for my son and me together. She understood his needs, and made us both completely comfortable. Marti is FUN!!!! I love her enthusiasm for all things social media, her creative spark and her professionalism.

Kate Galloway

🌟 Five Stars? Pfft. If I could give Marti ALL the stars, I would! 🌟

If social media feels like a confusing jungle, then Marti is the expert guide who makes the path clear—and makes you laugh along the way. She brings a perfect mix of knowledge, creativity, and humour, making learning feel effortless and fun. No judgment, no eye-rolling—just pure, unfiltered expertise delivered with a side of belly laughs.

Marti has a gift for meeting you exactly where you’re at (whether you’re a total newbie or just need a social media glow-up) and turning what feels overwhelming into something totally doable. She’s bursting with creative ideas, and the sheer amount of knowledge she shares is mind-blowing.

Rebecca Holmes Photography

I had a session with Marti for social media for my business and it was so much fun! Marti is so lovely, down to earth and really funny. She made me feel at ease and listened to what o needed help with. The training was really informative and I learnt so many tips and ways to work my social media for my business. Marti has a wealth of knowledge in social media and I am so happy I chose her as a coach.

Lucy Tuohy

Marti is a joy and so much fun! I spent a morning doing instagram training with her! She is so knowledgeable, and shared her wisdom in a fun, practical way. She challenged me to try new things and think out the box! I came away with a head full of new ideas, and although I know it will take me time to work through everything, I’ll get there! The training was invaluable to me and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marti!

Lyn Trotter

Working with Marti was a dream, she had so many great ideas to help get our business out there and she really helped us feel confident in front of the camera and feel ready to take over our own social media again. Can’t recommend working with the fun, talented and always encouraging Marti more.

Dawn Young

Working with Marti has been a game changer for our brand. She has brought clarity, structure and creativity to our social media presence, which has translated into a strategy which really works! Marti’s ability to blend strategic thinking with fun creativity has made a tangible difference to our engagement and growth and how we approach our content. If you’re looking for someone to elevate your brand and social media presence with insight and genuine care – I can’t recommend the lovely Marti enough!

Bea Bedford

Marti helped me dive into video for my socials. She gave me tailored tips about video content and how to approach my unique message. Thanks Marti, I feel more confident now and I really enjoyed working with you.

Maria Harper

I had an absolutely brilliant time at Marti’s Coffee + Content Planning workshop this week… so fun, informative, and relaxed! Marti made everybody feel so comfortable and I learnt heaps, coming away with some post ideas ready to go. Thank you so much Marti 🙏🏻

Anna Considine

I finally met Marti on Wednesday at her Coffee and Chat session. It was great. Welcoming and relaxed with a great guest speaker and with such a lovely group of Women who are all in business.
I booked in for the very next days content creation morning and wasn’t disappointed.
I loved her energy, her style and her simple take on social media.
I’ll be back again and again

Josie Marshall

Marti is a gem, knowledgeable, helpful and straight talking. I always learn so much and love her events. Always worth the journey into town!

Danielle Moon

Marti’s instagram reset workshop was great. She’s so informative and encouraging. We were a wee group and this meant that Marti could target support individually about our insta accounts. The support from other attendees was really lovely, it was an opportunity to make new business pals in a really lovely setting. I’d recommend Wee Bit Social events having been to a few now, they’re always welcoming and relaxed, and of course, the chance of a wee giggle is always high with Marti’s sense of humour!
