Hi I’m Cyndi Zaweski

I quit social media and sales increased 176% — in the first six months.

But before I knew having a profitable business without social media was possible, I grew my Instagram to 64,000 followers—and promptly burned out. Leveraging my Columbia University search optimization education and decade-long award-winning journalism career, I combine storytelling with keywords to increase brand visibility, get new customers, and grow my beloved email list while I’m offline.

My advice for growing a newsletter has been featured by Harvard University’s Nieman Storyboard. My brand storytelling clients have been featured major media outlets including CBC, the Minimalist Podcast, and iHeartRadio.

Alongside my client work and online storytelling teaching, I write about how narrative influences behavior, exploring how storytelling, belief, and perspective drive action through the lenses of marketing, philosophy, psychology, technology, spirituality, and beyond.
