Polina Kuznetsova is a marketing specialist with a decade of experience building growth-focused digital strategies and hands-on content across DTC, e-commerce, and startup environments in the New York metro area. She combines data-driven channel optimization (Klaviyo, Google Ads, SEO) with creative content production—shooting and editing original photography and video—to drive acquisition and retention. Polina has led multi-channel campaigns for brands from early-stage subscriptions to established pet supplement companies, and she scaled GRAB Coffee to 500 paid customers in three months through targeted growth tactics. A self-starter comfortable with operations, brand design, and influencer partnerships, she also co-founded a consumer app and ran end-to-end e-commerce launches on Shopify. Unusually for a marketer, she contributes to open-source PHP tracing projects, demonstrating technical curiosity and an ability to improve backend tooling for observability. Polina is seeking to apply her blend of creative marketing and technical problem-solving to a full-time role starting January 2023.
