On August 30th, St. Pete business consultant Mike Martino—better known around town as “Marketing Mike”—will speak at the Chamber’s Leads and Luminaries gathering. The event kicks off at 3 PM, hosted at the St. Pete Chamber location.
Mike brings more than 15 years of strategy and project leadership at Accent, a consulting firm that works with local businesses looking to make real changes—not just noise. His work focuses on helping business owners align marketing efforts with measurable sales outcomes, while keeping things sustainable for internal teams.
“I’ve seen a lot of businesses burn energy on things that don’t move the needle,” Mike says. “The key is finding the intersection between what works for your market and your people.”
At Accent, Mike and the team coach business owners through that exact process—tuning up messaging, cleaning up overcomplicated funnels, and helping sales reps tell a better story.
The Leads and Luminaries event is part of the St. Pete Chamber’s long-running commitment to connecting local professionals in meaningful ways. These gatherings aren’t about big stages or big claims—they’re built around clear, focused peer learning that helps business owners actually apply what they hear.
Attendees can expect:
- Simple ways to prioritize your marketing to-do list
- The mindset shift that unlocks stronger client conversations
- A few real-world lessons from the St. Pete business scene
For Mike, it’s another chance to bring practical insight to the same business community that’s shaped much of his own work. And for local leaders, it’s an opportunity to hear from someone who’s been behind the scenes—fixing broken funnels, simplifying sales processes, and helping teams move from ideas to traction.
Mike’s talk adds to the tradition of offering grounded marketing insights built for people who are too busy to waste time guessing.
