At the July Hot Stories networking event in Cambridge, founder and organiser Renata Rimkutė took a few heartfelt moments to share why Hot Stories exists and what drives her mission to elevate others.
Renata is the force behind Gemini Web Media and the host of Hot Stories. But more than that, she’s a woman on a mission: to help people be known, trusted, and seen for the value they bring.
It's About Your Story
"Hot Stories is all about you and your story," Renata said. "I want to create a happy atmosphere where you can show up as yourself, feel at home, and simply share."
Renata believes in human-first branding—trust, credibility, and connection before sales. Her vision for Hot Stories goes far beyond an event. It's a movement to make sure every trusted business and professional gets the visibility they deserve.
Building Real Trust Online
Can people trust you when they see you online? Renata posed this important question to the room. In her work, she focuses on helping professionals:
Build a verifiable reputation
Share meaningful stories
Get seen and recognised online
Whether it's through the event itself, social media content, or the new Hot Stories Membership, Renata's purpose is to help entrepreneurs go from unknown to unforgettable.
"I want people to know Chris because he takes amazing photos. I want people to know Alan. I want you to be known."
The Bigger Picture
Renata puts in time well beyond each event—tagging, posting, connecting—so each speaker and attendee gets the recognition they deserve. That personal dedication is what makes Hot Stories so different.
Discover the Membership
Renata also introduced the new Hot Stories Membership, which bundles everything she and the team do into one powerful offering. From reputation support and content creation to event promotion, it's a new way to amplify trusted professionals in the community.
If you're tired of being the best-kept secret in your industry, Hot Stories is the place to show up, speak up, and be seen.
