I’m a marketer, author, and entrepreneur. I started my career in 2013 as a content writer with zero experience. In the beginning, nothing I wrote seemed to work. But then, one article changed everything. It brought in leads. Then more. Over time, hundreds. Since then, I led marketing at Yalantis, a software development company, helping triple its growth in three years.
I co-founded an agency that didn’t survive and started a new one. At Zmist & Copy, we help B2B tech companies develop and execute content strategies.
I launched the From Reads to Leads website after publishing a book by the same name. My newsletter is grounded in what I learn every day working with founders, marketers, and writers at B2B tech companies.
Marketing is often misunderstood. The people doing marketing don’t always get it. The ones paying for it often don’t either. I help writers (and everyone else) make sense of marketing. And use it to win.
