Today we’d like to introduce you to Marina Kokush.
Hi Marina, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’m one of the co-founders of Dēclick agency, where I wear multiple hats as a marketer, design thinker, and storyteller. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to live in different European countries, soaking up their cultures and gaining invaluable experiences.
I studied communications and philosophy of arts before diving into an MBA to expand my business knowledge. After finishing my studies, I landed a role as an e-commerce director for a French fashion brand. It was an incredible journey to witness the company’s growth, going from a small team to establishing over 20 boutiques across Europe.
Around four years ago, I decided to settle down in California and continued my career as a consultant, focusing on digital marketing and e-commerce. That’s when I became fascinated by the captivating world of UX and UI design.
I met my partner in crime, Alison, through a French entrepreneur network in LA. We quickly realized that our backgrounds and skills perfectly complemented each other, which led us to co-found Declick Agency. While Alison excels in brand creation and strategy, my expertise lies in design thinking, allowing us to elevate brands in the digital sphere.
It’s been an amazing three years working together as a boutique agency, with so many memorable moments and notable achievements along the way.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One significant challenge we faced was establishing our presence in a highly competitive market. The digital landscape is constantly evolving, and we had to find ways to break through the noise to make our agency stand out. Our approach was to create a boutique feel, establish a human relationship with clients, and truly become their partners. We not only provide them with services but also help them navigate the digital ecosystem by advising on how to solve their pain points and navigate the new digital reality. For example, we recently organized an AI workshop to educate our clients on the potential of artificial intelligence. Additionally, we have developed our own loyalty program to further enhance the value we offer to our clients.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
