Before you write your 2026 marketing plan, read this.

Another 50-page strategy deck won't help you
if your team can't execute it.

The #1 reason marketing plans fail isn't a lack of ideas.
It's a lack of connection to daily work.

If you want 2026 to be different,
you need to build the bridge between your plan and your team's priorities.

Here's the 5-step framework to make that happen:
1. Objectives: From vague goals to 3-5 key results.
2. Timeline: From annual pressure to weekly sprints.
3. Actions: From a long to-do list to 2-3 daily priorities.
4. Ownership: From group confusion to individual accountability.
5. Accountability: From monthly check-ins to a consistent daily rhythm.

Please don't start 2026 with another plan that is going to collect dust.

Start it with a system for execution.

What's your biggest goal for your marketing team in 2026?

Hey, I'm Maria — a personal branding coach / consultant based in Berlin. I teach founders and marketers to build personal brands that attract clients and opportunities. Lots of opportunities.

And if there's anything I learned this year about myself, it's that I LOVE TEACHING. Being useful, helping you grow & seeing the spark in my student's eyes. 

So, I've been teaching hundreds of people through workshops, events, 1:1 sessions, communities...

After working as a startup marketer for 4+ years, leading content-first growth and turning LinkedIn into the primary source of leads and revenue, not just vanity metrics, I decided to go all-in as a personal branding consultant and content creator.

Since then, I've been lucky to work with brands like Framer, Notion, Tally, Pitch, GrowthMentor, LeadShark, 12BRAVE, and many more.

If you're a marketer or founder who needs clear systems and to make your personal brand drive opportunities, clients and leads for you — you're in the right place – and I would love to help! 💜

Dm me "LINKEDIN GROWTH" and we can explore how I can support you on your journey! 👋

--
I also manage two communities - Solopreneur Community in Berlin (launchanyway.com) & the Notion for Marketers community (as a Notion Ambassador) in Berlin, because I'm a people person:)

And you can find lots of free resources on my page and YouTube channel (@hellomarialeden).

Other than here you can find me at a calisthenics class, grabbing vegan lunch with friends, or co-working at one of my favorite Berlin cafés.

Day 1 at your new marketing job.

You’re full of ideas and are a bundle of nerves,

Then you're presented with a checklist that mentions a few generic tasks like:

→ “Log into Slack”
→ “Meet your team”
→ “Book intro call with IT”

And pressure to start executing and doing your "marketing magic" to bring 2030% ROI overnight.

It can be... a lot :D

You want to add value fast.
But you also know diving in without research will lead to chaos later.

I wanna show you something.

When I worked at magier, I made this in-depth 90-day onboarding dashboard.

It helped me and since then over 200 marketing leads:

→ Audit & document every digital channel in week 1
→ Ask the right questions to the founders
→ Interview the buyer personas
→ Run competitor analysis
→ Build an impactful strategy with confidence

All in one place. In Notion. If you’re starting a new role, hiring a marketer, or just want a smoother onboarding – this will save you hours.

🔥 Connect + Comment “90” and I’ll send it your way

The traditional career path is broken.

And millions are choosing self-employment after mass layoffs.

Because they've lost faith in job security that never really existed.

I made that choice too.

Leaving the corporate ladder behind to build something of my own.

But here's what I'm learning first-hand:
Our entire system is unprepared for this shift.

After I left my job, I reached out to Scarlette De Gregorio for a coffee chat.
I'd seen her journey as a fractional CMO and was curious about her experience.

We clicked immediately.

Every struggle I'd faced, she'd been through too. I felt so seen.
We've been catching up regularly ever since.

And I'm incredibly proud of what Scarlette is building now:

She co-founded Fluum  together with Roberta Morelli Pedersoli.

They spent a year talking to over 3,000 solopreneurs.

What they found is this:

→ Most tools were built for traditional employment 
→ The gap between people choosing independence & existing support systems is massive
→ Millions are building careers on their own terms with zero infrastructure

Instead of just talking about the problem, they're building the solution.

Fluum is an AI co-founder for solopreneurs. It matches you to relevant opportunities that AI discovers across social media.

And this is just the beginning of their vision.

Their crowdfunding campaign ends TOMORROW 📆

These women are building the future of independent work, and they need YOUR support.
Our support.

You can back them starting at just £12.

🔥 Comment "FLUUM" and I'll send you the link to learn more and decide if you want to invest.

P.S. Standard investment warning applies - only invest what you can afford to lose. This is a high-risk investment.
