About

Hi, 👋 I’m Barbara; a growth-focused content marketer interested in the intersection of founder branding, audience psychology, and strategic storytelling. My background spans content marketing, social media strategy, community engagement, and digital customer psychology. I’m especially interested in how brands use storytelling and audience behaviour to grow online communities, strengthen positioning, and turn attention into real engagement. Currently, I’m building around: ✦ Founder storytelling & personal branding ✦ Growth-focused content strategy ✦ Startup and digital brand positioning I’m particularly drawn to early-stage startups, AI products, SaaS, modern consumer brands, and founders building meaningful things on the internet. Let's work: barbs.nene@gmail.com

Build your brand before your product, or launch first and reveal yourself later?

  1. I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.

  2. But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.
