I help service-based entrepreneurs unpack their character so that your business and communications stay true to your voice and views.
I lost count of how often I heard this online:
Talking about your thoughts & ideas, and how you can help others feels like a game of self-editing. Just so that people have the right impression of you:
A personality-less stack of valuable information. A business book. (Because how dare your potential clients know that you're human, like them.)
I bet it sounds familiar to you, too: You feel forced to perform and fit into the "frameworks of building a personal brand" while losing what makes you different. Your energy gets drained, while the audience sits in silence.
Yet, you can stand out to the right people while staying true to YOUR character.
(So, let's ditch the advice that boxes us up.)
What if your story goes like this:
If this sounds like the kind of story you're after, I have something for you 💌
With my "Unpack Your Character" brand strategy service, we dig deeper into your stories and zoom out – to see the bigger picture of your direction, positioning, and how to apply it into your communications (think: content, channels, and so on) and business (think: offers, customer experience, and so on).
All to make your brand true to your character, and stand out to the right people, with your goals and voice in mind – no hacks on how to be someone else involved.
You hold all the answers but let me hold a mirror for you and get your character out to play 🎞️
Hi, I'm Mariia – and I'm a fan of characters. Especially the ones who come to life and rock the world of their people. Yes, like you – an entrepreneur with a point of view. My goal is simple: To help you own your character, develop your personal brand, and communicate your ideas & business to the right people.
What does the "Unpack Your Character" service look like?
- 🧠 Two deep interviews: We'll talk all things your personality and business. My clients often call it a "brand therapy" – or the time when we put everything out of your brain and make sense of things together.
- 🖼️ A positioning concept: After the calls and my initial research, I'll present you the direction, along your personality brief, for where you're likely play into your strengths and stand out to your people.
- 🎨 A co-creation 1:1 workshop: With the direction confirmed, we'll have a hands-on session to brainstorm how to implement your new strategy – from how you communicate yourself to the way you create 11-star experience for your clients.
- 🗺️ Your "North Star" Notion dashboard: All the conversations and ideas, research and your next steps – I'll pack them into the dashboard that you can integrate into your day-to-day systems.

Let's sum it up 🤝
Okay, I want to work with you – what are the next steps?
First of all, hey, love it 💌 Fill out this form and I will reach out to you via Instagram or email, in the next 24 hours. This form helps me understand what kind of goals and expectations you have as well as your current context – so I will text you not with a bland "thanks for your request" message but go straight to business! (Our conversation is non-binding, of course. It's more of a way to ask each other questions and figure out whether we're a match!)
I like your offer but I have questions – how can I reach you?
I'm glad this whole thing resonates you and understand that you want to chat first – you can reach me directly on Instagram (@itsmariia.co) or via email (mariia@itsmariia.co). You can also fill out this form and list your questions there, and then it's on me to message you directly with all the deets 🫡
Who is this service for?
This is for entrepreneurs and online service providers who want to bring their whole self into their business, without conforming to someone else's idea of success. You're a fit if you're ready to zoom out from your day-to-day and up for strategising on how we can grow your personal brand platform.
Who isn't a fit for this service?
This is not for someone who expects do-it-for-you kind of strategy work, or wants to go a "faceless" brand route. We're talking about your business, built off your name, backed up by your reputation, that fuels opportunities for you in the future. The kind of direction you want to take, goals to tackle – only you know that, and I will help you zoom out and look at it strategically.
Why do I need a brand strategy?
In a nutshell, because there are countless service providers out there – and you want a way to stand out AND become the preference of the kind of clients you want to work with. A brand strategy is an opinionated direction on how to achieve your business goals, and shapes what steps you take next.
Will I get a finished visual identity afterwards?
No, this is the service where we work on your strategy first and how to implement your next steps. However, if you decide that a new visual identity is something you want to strengthen your brand, the final brief (including the positioning concept) would be incredibly helpful for a brand designer you choose to work with.
