About Biz Lab Tampa Bay

Rootbound Marketing was created by Justine Marra, an entrepreneur and marketing expert.  Before having kids, Justine ran a dance studio for 6 years with her sister.  When injuries and demands of being a new mother forced her out of teaching dance, she began a career in advertising sales.  After 10 years, her sister re-opened the dance studio, and Justine decided to leave her day job to help run the dance studio part-time.  Her original intent for Rootbound Marketing was to provide business owners with solutions to their marketing struggles.  However, she put it on the back-burner while she fell back in love with teaching kids.  She quickly saw an opportunity and need in her community to teach Entrepreneurship and Business to kids.  She is excited to be helping young entrepreneurs along their journey through classes and summer camps.  In the 2025-2026 school year, she strives to expand to more locations and find ways to make her classes more accessible to students who are economically disadvantaged.  Subscribe to our newsletter to get updates as we grow and expand!
