Storywave Marketing Inc

Hey, I’m Natasha – founder of Storywave Marketing, youngest of four, and the only girl in a wild bunch of brothers. I grew up where storytelling was basically a sport (hello, church sermons), studied journalism to sharpen the skill, then spent 7 years in radio and TV crafting clever campaigns. Now? I build bold marketing that stops the scroll and makes people feel something. With 15+ years in the game, I’ve crafted campaigns that are smart, scroll-stopping, and sometimes even an ad built around tic-tac-toe (yep, that happened). I blend sharp strategy with unexpected creativity, because in a world full of noise, it’s a story that makes waves.
