Meet Anna Furmanov, Fractional CMO<\/strong>\u00a0on our A Team.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you need a fractional CMO to put gas on your go-to-marketing fire, you need Anna Furmanov. Anna is a marketing powerhouse. She is revenue-focused, strategic and rolls-up her sleeves with every client. She is also the host of the Modern Startup Marketing podcast, which is a must-listen.<\/p>\n

Here at Growth Street, we’re all about people. Our A Team<\/a> is the life-blood of our business. Meet the people who share their expertise and best selves every day, including our amazing Fractional CMO, Anna!<\/p>\n

What is something most people don\u2019t know about you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When I was 5 years old, my family immigrated from Russia to America with only $400 (family of 4).<\/span><\/p>\n

I got accepted into U of I (Urbana-Champaign) College of Design because they liked my essays and my AP art portfolio of artwork (oil paintings of dogs with human emotions) from high school. After one semester, I transferred over to the College of Business Administration. I still love to paint whenever I get the chance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you more of an introvert or extravert?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m definitely both and it depends on the day and the season, although if you ask me what I\u2019d rather do on a Saturday night – go party or read a book – it\u2019s going to be read a book 95% of the time. And that\u2019s not just because of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you were to define your superpower, what would it be?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Asking the right questions in order to get a big picture understanding of top business opportunities (strategy) and then figuring out what to prioritize to get the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n

What lights your fire?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Creating and building something that I\u2019m proud of and that others also find valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a pet? If so, tell us about it!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My daughter has a stuffed animal dog named Snowball and she likes to remind me that it\u2019s not just her dog, it\u2019s OUR dog.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is something you wish you knew sooner?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Building an audience on LinkedIn is insanely valuable to build relationships and for both personal and professional growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

In your words, what is the power of brand?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The power of brand is trust, without needing to hire a salesperson.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does being apart of the A Team mean to you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I love being part of something bigger than myself. The A Team represents a group of like-minded business experts that are shaping what it means to succeed in business given how much everything has changed in the past couple of years.<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes Growth Street special?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Giddy Up!<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is a business leader you admire and why?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I bring on so many leaders and experts onto my podcast (Modern Startup Marketing) that it\u2019s hard to pick just one. Here\u2019s a list of some:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Christopher Lochhead – brings game-changing thinking for businesses that want to be category creator.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Andy Raskin – shaping the importance of storytelling and strategic narrative and creating a movement for your business<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Chris Walker – has a weekly event for forward-thinking marketers and hasn\u2019t missed a single week (except maybe 1-2 weeks for vacation) in the past 2 years. That\u2019s the power of community.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Michael Klozotsky (CMO at IMO) – an all around good person, marketing leader and always has time to mentor.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Katie Perry (VP Marketing at Public) – super sharp + focused + fun personality and knows how to leverage creative ideas.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Giddy up, Anna! We are so lucky to have you on our A Team.<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
