My story

I'm a marketing strategist with over 10 years of hands-on experience.

→ As Head of Marketing at sTARTUp Day, I helped build the festival’s marketing from the ground up. In my final year, the event welcomed 4,400 attendees from 60 countries, and the festival’s marketing received a Gold Egg award.

→ As CMO at Promoty, I helped grow the company from zero to 50,000 users, increase monthly SEO traffic to 70,000, and build an internationally competitive brand in the influencer marketing space. In 2025, we sold Promoty to Modash.

→ As the host of the grit. podcast, I’ve interviewed 40+ marketing leaders from Estonian startups to uncover how top marketers actually think and work. In 2025, we brought grit. to the stage by organizing a highly successful grit. conference.

→ Since 2024, I’ve been building my own business, helping people show up more confidently, consistently, and strategically on LinkedIn.

Why trust me when it comes to LinkedIn?

For the past two years, I’ve posted on LinkedIn almost every week – and the results speak for themselves. LinkedIn has brought me job and collaboration offers, speaking and training invitations, media coverage, new connections, leads, and consistent sales revenue.

That’s why I can say this with confidence: posting on LinkedIn truly pays off.

Over the past two years, I’ve helped 400+ people build a clear LinkedIn strategy and gain real momentum on the platform. I’ve also worked with dozens of companies, delivering LinkedIn training and challenges tailored to their teams and brand ambassadors.

Alongside the public challenges, I’ve delivered trainings and programs for some of Estonia’s most inspiring companies, including Bolt, Swedbank, SEB, LHV, Playtech, Bondora, Hansab, MyFitness, Merit Tarkvara, the Education and Youth Board, and many more.

Thanks to this experience, I know the most common challenges people face on LinkedIn – and how to overcome them.
