Instagram Strategist & Business Coach

You have the product, the mission, the work ethic — but your social media isn't reflecting any of it.

That gap between what you've built and what the world sees? That's exactly what I close.

I'm Maya — an MBA-qualified marketing executive who spent 8 years running marketing for a global brand and nearly 3 years at the Hilton before choosing Instagram as my arena. I didn't fall into this. I chose it — because it's the most underused business tool most entrepreneurs are sitting on.

I work with a small number of people. Every offer requires a short application — not to make your life harder, but because I only say yes when I know I can genuinely help.

The story

I didn't become an Instagram expert.
I already was one — I just changed the channel.

I graduated with a BSc in Banking, Finance and Management. Then I spent nearly three years at the Hilton — one at the front desk learning how people decide, one year and eight months in reservations, where I was awarded for upselling. Not because I pressured anyone. Because I learned how to show people the gap between what they'd settled for and what they actually wanted.

Then I did my MBA. Then I joined Tupperware — and stayed for eight years. I went from Marketing Coordinator to Marketing Manager for an entire country. Events, forecasting, pricing, analysis, campaigns, social media. The whole machine.

"Tupperware built one of the most successful community-driven sales models in history — before social media existed. I spent 8 years inside that machine. Now I help you build the same thing on Instagram."

Here's what I know after all of it: Instagram is not a content problem. It's a strategy problem. Most business owners are posting into the void because nobody taught them to think about it like a marketer. I did. For 15 years. In corporate rooms, in luxury hotels, at a global brand.

I left corporate to bring that level of thinking to entrepreneurs who are serious about making Instagram work — not just look good.

We're probably not a fit if —

You want pretty content with no strategy behind it
You're not willing to show up as yourself — faceless brands rarely win on Instagram
You need 10k followers in 30 days (if someone promises you that, run)
You want someone to execute what you say with zero pushback — I will challenge you
You're looking for the cheapest option in the room

Questions

Things people always ask

Why do I need to apply? Can't I just book?

Because I'd rather turn down your money than take it and deliver average results. The application takes three minutes and tells me enough to know if I can genuinely help. If I can't, I'll tell you — and point you in the right direction instead.

Do I need a big following for this to work?

No. Follower count is a vanity metric. I've seen accounts with 800 followers generating consistent income and accounts with 50,000 making nothing. We focus on the right followers, the right content, and the right offers.

What does "daily access" actually mean in the Accelerator?

It means when you're about to post something and you're not sure about the hook — you send it to me. When you had a call with a potential client and you want to debrief — you voice note me. When an idea hits at 7pm — you send it. I'm in your business, not just on a monthly Zoom.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients notice a shift in engagement and clarity within the first 30 days. Revenue results typically appear in months 2–3. Instagram is not a vending machine — but used correctly it's one of the most powerful sales channels available.

What if I'm not sure which offer is right for me?

Apply for the Clarity Call. It's designed for exactly that — you walk away knowing what you need, whether that's working with me further or running the plan yourself. And if the Accelerator is the right fit, the call cost counts toward your first month.

A year from now you could still be watching people with half your talent out-earn you — or you could be the one they're watching.

The difference isn't luck. It isn't a bigger following. It's a strategy built around who you actually are and what you're actually selling. You already have the content. You already have the story. What you've been missing is someone who knows how to make Instagram work as a business tool — not a highlight reel.
