Welcome to Wellness Marketing 101. I’m Boryana — a marketing professor, mom of three, and a passionate advocate for all things health and wellness. I’m also the founder of Black Sea Advanced Marketing Solutions, where I help entrepreneurs build purpose-driven businesses in order to connect authentically with their ideal customers on a deeper level.
Wellness Marketing 101 is the podcast for you if you’re an entrepreneur and want to know where to start with marketing. I’ll guide you with simple, clear, and actionable steps to help you build a rock solid foundation and grow your business organically by attracting the right for you customers. I also share personal experiences that have taught me valuable lessons that I can now apply to building my own business while also helping others do the same.
Last, but not least, entrepreneurship isn't for the faint heart. Sometimes we are so deep in the hustle that we forget to take care of ourselves to be able to keep pouring into everyone and everything around me. I have therefore made it a purpose of mine to not only set time aside for self-care but also remind others they should do the same so they avoid burnout and stay sane on this crazy journey.
