STRATEGICÂ SMM LIVE MENTORSHIP
Cohort Starts: February 2nd, 2026
From Executor to Strategist in 7 Weeks
Stop being treated like "that social media girl." Learn the strategic frameworks that connect social media to sales - so you can charge higher rates and never fear the "What's the ROI?" question again.
SECURE YOUR SPOT →You're Good at What You Do. So Why Does It Feel Like You're Failing?
You create the content. You post consistently. You engage with followers. You hit the deadlines. You do everything you were taught to do.
And yet...
Every 4-6 months, like clockwork, another client leaves.
Sometimes it's "budget." Often it's "we're not seeing results." Always, it's devastating.
You know what the real problem is. It's that moment in the client meeting when they ask:
"So... what's the ROI on all this?"
And your stomach drops.
You fumble. You talk about "brand awareness" and "engagement" and "building community." You show follower growth and reach metrics.
But their face says it all:Â That's not what I asked.
Here's what keeps you up at 3 AM:
- You're 32 (or 35, or 38) and still making what you made 3 years ago
- You watch SMMs with less experience confidently charge $5,000/month - and get it
- You say "yes" to clients you don't even want because you're scared to say "no"
- You're one difficult client conversation away from spiraling into imposter syndrome
- You've taken courses, bought templates, watched masterclasses - and nothing really changed
- Deep down, you're terrified that maybe you're just... not strategic enough.Â
The worst part?
You've been told the problem is your confidence. Your mindset. Your positioning.
So you've tried to "step into your worth" and "embody premium energy."
But affirmations don't help when a client asks how social media drove their Q3 sales and you genuinely don't know how to answer.
The problem isn't your confidence.
The problem is that you were never taught real marketing strategy.
And that's not your fault.
The Difference Between $1,500/Month SMMs and $5,000/Month Strategic Partners Isn't Talent. It's This.
You've wondered about this, haven't you?
You see other social media managers - sometimes with less experience than you - charging 3-5x your rates. Landing dream clients. Getting renewed year after year.
And you think: What do they know that I don't?
Here's the answer:
They learned how to connect social media to business outcomes.
Not "engagement." Not "awareness." Not "community building."
Actual, measurable, revenue-driving outcomes that make CEOs and business owners say: "This person is invaluable to my business."
They understand:
- How to build a sales funnel using social media (not just "posting content")
- How to identify which audience segments actually buy (not just "engage")
- How to position a client's product so it stands out in a crowded market
- How to create content that moves people toward purchase (not just likes)
- How to prove their value in numbers that matter to a business owner
This isn't about being "more confident" or "positioning yourself as premium."
It's about having genuine strategic competence that makes you impossible to replace.
When you can walk into a client meeting and say:
"Based on my audience analysis, here's why your current customers buy. Based on competitor research, here's the gap in the market we're going to own. Based on our funnel strategy, here's how we'll track the path from content to conversion. And here's the monthly report format I'll use to show you exactly how social is contributing to revenue."
That's when everything changes.
That's when clients stop questioning your value and start asking how they can work with you longer.
That's when you stop saying "yes" to anyone who'll pay you and start choosing clients you want to work with.
That's when $5K/month feels like the starting point, not the ceiling.
The gap isn't talent. The gap is training.
And that's exactly what this mentorship is designed to close.

Introducing: The Strategic SMM
Live Mentorship
The Strategic SMM Live Mentorship is a 7-week intensive designed specifically for experienced social media managers who are ready to stop being order-takers and start being indispensable strategic partners.
This isn't another course you'll buy and never finish.
This is a live mentorship where you work alongside me and a small group of peers on YOURÂ real client project -Â and walk away with a complete, professional strategy you can use immediately.
 Why This Format Works When Courses Don't:
You can't "save it for later"Â
Live sessions create natural accountability. You show up because it's happening now.
You're never stuck aloneÂ
Wednesday Labs catch problems before they become blockers. No more spinning for days on something you could solve in 5 minutes with guidance.
You learn from others' work
Watching me review your peers' strategies is like getting 10x the feedback. You'll learn from their challenges and breakthroughs.
Real deadline, real result
At the end, you present your complete strategy to the group. That deadline ensures you finish with something you're proud of.
Small group, maximum attention
Only 10 participants means you're not lost in a crowd. I'll know your project, your challenges, your progress.
No Abstract Theory, Real Client Projects From Day One
Across 7 weeks you build a live SMM Strategy for one of your clients.
The Complete Strategic Framework - Week by Week
Each week builds on the last. By the end, you'll have transformed from someone who "does social media" into a strategic marketing partner who drives business results.
WEEK 1. CLIENT SELECTION MASTERY - BUILDING YOUR DREAM PORTFOLIO
WEEK 2. SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY & SALES FUNNELS THAT CONVERT
WEEK 3. AUDIENCE INTELLIGENCE THAT DRIVES SALES

WEEK 5. PRODUCT STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL MEDIA
WEEK 6. CONTENT STRATEGY THAT SELLS WITH EVERY SINGLE POST

- A funnel map (content → lead → sale)

WHO THIS IS FOR
This Mentorship Is For You If...
- You have 2+ years of experience as a social media manager or freelance marketer. You know how to create content, manage accounts, and deliver for clients - you're not starting from zero.
- You're stuck in "execution mode" and can't seem to break through to strategic work that commands higher rates.
- You dread the "What's the ROI?" question because you genuinely don't know how to connect your work to business outcomes.
- You're tired of client churn and watching relationships end after 4-6 months because you "aren't seeing results."
- You've taken courses before that didn't change anything -Â and you're skeptical but still hopeful that the right program might actually help.
- You want live instruction and accountability, not another course you'll "get to eventually" (and never finish).
- You have a client project to work on (current client or dream client you want to pitch) - because you'll build a real strategy throughout this program.
- You can commit to Mondays and Wednesdays (6-8 PM and 6-7 PM EST) for 7 weeks.
This Mentorship Is NOT For You If...
- You're brand new to social media management. This program assumes foundational skills.Â
- You're looking for a passive course you can do "whenever." This is live. It requires showing up.
- You want tactics and hacks. We focus on strategic frameworks that don't expire when the algorithm changes.
- You're not willing to do the work. Each week has assignments. They're not optional if you want results.
- You can't commit to the schedule. If you know you'll miss multiple sessions, wait for a future cohort that fits your calendar.
Who Is Teaching This?
I'm Marina Vaskina.
And I'm not a "course creator."
I'm a marketing strategist with 20+ years of experience who still does this work every day.
My background:
- Fortune 500 experience: Led launches for Samsung, Johnson & Johnson, AB InBev, Stella Artois
- Award-winning campaigns: Won the EFFIE Award and Grand Prix "Brand of the Year" for Samsung campaigns that drove +15% market share growth
- Entrepreneurial results: Built an online sales system that grew Lucky In Love (a U.S. fashion brand) from wholesale-only to $3M in DTC revenue in 2 years
- Education: MBA in Strategic Marketing, Mentor to 150+ students at the Florida Institute of Fashion
- Mentor to 150+ students at the Florida Institute of Fashion.
-
Current practice: I run ABC of Ecommerce, a marketing consulting firm where I work with clients across fashion, wellness, tech, and education - right now, not just "in my past"
Why does this matter for you?
Because I'm not teaching theory I read in a book. I'm teaching frameworks I use with paying clients - frameworks that have generated millions in revenue and won industry awards.
The difference between me and most "marketing educators":
Most people teaching marketing courses stopped doing marketing years ago. They make their money selling courses, not delivering results for clients.
I still do both. And that's why what I teach actually works.

Client Stories & Results
Marina is one of the top talents I have had the privilege to work with. She played a critical role in building the e-commerce division of our company. She is excellent in both building strategies and delivering their execution: many marketing campaigns and brand collaborations were initiated and implemented under Marina’s leadership.
Andrea Cherniak, Partner at Lucky In Love
I used to think my business was a toy. Marina rebuilt it as a system - clear segments, a product ladder, and a measurable funnel from masterclasses to core and advanced programs. Sales doubled in six months, and I finally see how every action connects to revenue.
Alena Kozhevnikova, Founder at Miami DJ Academy
Thanks to Marina we ran a deep customer research - qual + quant, reviews, social listening - and turned it into segment-specific messaging and funnels. ROAS doubled, CAC dropped, and the work paid for itself within three weeks.

The Real Cost of Waiting
You could close this page and tell yourself you'll "think about it."
And maybe you will think about it. For a day. A week. Until the cohort fills and you tell yourself you'll catch the next one.
But here's what won't change while you wait:
- Clients will still ask "What's the ROI?" and you still won't have a confident answer.
- You'll still say yes to projects you don't want because you're afraid to say no.
- You'll still watch other SMMs charge $5,000/month and wonder what they know that you don't.
- You'll still feel that knot in your stomach before client meetings.
- You'll still be exactly where you are now - talented but stuck, working hard but undervalued, hoping something changes but not sure what.
Or.
Seven weeks from now, you could have:
âś“ A complete strategic framework that finally makes "strategy" make sense
âś“ A professional strategy deck you built for a real client
âś“ The confidence to answer "What's the ROI?" with actual data
âś“ A system for attracting and selecting clients who value your work
✓ The ability to charge higher rate and know exactly how to justify it
âś“ A network of strategic SMMs who get what you're building
The February cohort starts February 2nd.
Only 10 spots.
This is your decision.
But if you've read this far, something in here resonated. Something felt like finally, someone understands my situation.
That feeling is data. Pay attention to it.

'Strategic Confidence' Guarantee
I offer a 'Strategic Confidence' Guarantee. I am so confident in this methodology that if you actively participate, complete the 7-week program, implement the framework, and don't feel a fundamental shift in your ability to think and act like a strategist, I will refund your investment. I am committed to your transformation.
P.S.
If you're still on the fence, ask yourself this:
Where will you be in 7 weeks if you don't do this?
Probably exactly where you are now. Still good at execution. Still stuck at strategy. Still dreading the ROI question. Still watching others charge more. Still hoping something changes.
Now ask yourself: Where could you be in 7 weeks if you do this?
You already know the answer.
I'll see you on February 2nd.
