About Anna Furmanov
I started painting as a kid and took AP Art in high school where I oil painted "dogs with human emotions." Now I oil paint fruits, vegetables and flowers. Most of the paintings in the house were done by me but that’s starting to change (kids). I have two kids, boy and girl. They're usually friends, sometimes not. My daughter is super into rhythmic gymnastics. She's constantly kicking her legs up high in the house, so we all have to watch out. My son is into tennis right now. They both play piano. I am always either reading or buying books to read. Books on my bookshelf (yes, physical books): 10X is easier than 2X, Play Bigger, The Man Who Planted Trees, How To Raise An Entrepreneur, The Artist's Way, Obviously Awesome, Artist: Awakening The Spirit, An Elephant In The Garden, A Girl From Yamhill, and way more. But guess what? There is no one book to play by when it comes to marketing. There are fundamental marketing principles, and the rest is experimentation. I’ve been in the trenches at both big name brands (Accenture, Groupon, Blistex) and venture-backed startups. I headed up marketing at two VC-backed startups (Fooda and Elevate K-12). I’ve seen a lot of waste and I’ve also seen the power of being small and nimble. I developed the MaaS (Marketing-as-a-System) Method and have used this systematic approach to marketing with dozens of startup clients.
