We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Margarita Kurtova. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Margarita below.

Margarita, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

I’ve never worked in a traditional office. From the very beginning, I knew I was meant to build my own path – rooted in creativity, freedom, and strategy. While I’ve always been deeply connected to visual art and aesthetics, what truly drives me is building systems, shaping messages, and turning ideas into influence. I think like a strategist in everything I do – whether I’m designing a brand, curating an event, or mentoring a visionary.

Even my solo art exhibition in Manhattan wasn’t just an art show – it was a carefully designed strategic move. Within just 30 days, I produced a full-scale event from scratch: it attracted over 200 guests, created media buzz, and elevated my positioning in the New York market. That exhibition wasn’t just a celebration of my artwork – it was a case study in how creative projects can serve as bold, high-impact brand statements.

Behind every project I create is a unified message. I connect all my businesses – art, branding, mentorship – through a single idea: helping individuals express who they truly are, and build a visible, magnetic presence in the world. Over the years, I studied influence psychology, negotiation techniques, and high-level marketing strategy. I tested them first on my own career, then started teaching them to others.

Today, I’m the founder of Cosmic Creations, a branding and marketing studio, and the creator of The Radiant Method – a mentorship system that helps creatives, coaches, and visionary entrepreneurs build personal brands that are beautiful, strategic, and true to who they are.

I don’t teach people to “stand out.” I teach them to become fully themselves – and profitable because of it. That’s the mission behind everything I do.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

After building my business from scratch in the U.S. and launching a successful art exhibition in Manhattan, I fully stepped into my life’s work – helping others build powerful personal brands and launch meaningful projects from within.

I’m the founder of Cosmic Creations, a creative branding and marketing studio, and the creator of The Radiant Method – a mentorship system for visionary entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives. I guide clients through three transformative stages:

Clarity – We uncover your mission, values, vision, and ideal audience. We break your story down to its core and rebuild a strong, strategic foundation.
Radiance – We shape your personal brand, PR positioning, storytelling, and visual identity – using design and even brand archetypes to create something truly magnetic.
Structure – We turn your ideas into offers, build a business plan, test your sales methods, and create a monetization system that feels aligned and sustainable.
My method is designed for those who want to build not just a brand, but a living system that reflects who they are and what they stand for – clearly, beautifully, and profitably.

Whether you’re launching a new project, rebuilding your personal brand, or trying to scale without losing your essence – this work is designed to help you step into your full presence and turn your brilliance into income and impact.

Can you share one of your favorite marketing or sales stories?

One of the boldest marketing moves I’ve ever made was producing a high-level art event in Manhattan – with no budget, no team, and just 30 days to make it happen.

I created an original concept called “The Leap of Faith” – a modern, symbolic reimagining of Tarot archetypes in black-and-gold. I painted the entire collection in a month and chose a cult rooftop venue in the heart of Manhattan, nown for attracting Wall Street entrepreneurs, creatives, and celebrities.

But I didn’t want just an art show – I wanted a live brand experience. I personally invited over 200 VIP guests I had been connecting with since arriving in New York. Every element was intentional – from the storytelling to the energy to the space itself.

With no budget, I built win-win collaborations: stylists, photographers, and partners joined the project in exchange for custom PR strategy and media exposure. Everyone benefited. Everyone remembered it.

That night positioned me not just as an artist, but as a creative producer, strategist, and connector.
It proved that with clarity, courage, and community – you can create real impact, even from zero.

After the event, I received a wave of messages – not just from collaborators, but from entrepreneurs, creatives, and artists asking one thing: “Can you help me do the same?”
They wanted to learn how to promote themselves authentically, create emotional visibility, and build a brand that attracts real opportunities and to sell theit art.

Today, the original artworks and limited-edition reproductions from the “Leap of Faith” series are available on my website for collectors and those who want to own a piece of this journey.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

In truth, my reputation has always come from one thing: real results.

Even before I moved to New York, I had been working in the creative industry for over 15 years – helping brands grow, building projects from scratch, and mentoring individuals in launching their own ideas. I’ve always believed that if the client is happy – both with the result and the process – they’ll talk about you. And they did.

People came to me after seeing what I’d built – not just the beauty of it, but the structure, the strategy, the clarity. And when I started helping them launch their own projects – and they began seeing real financial results – they naturally started recommending me everywhere.

That’s how my reputation has grown: not through ads or hype, but through trust, word of mouth, and people who wanted others to feel what they experienced with me.

If you truly care, give your best, and deliver both results and energy – you’ll never need to chase clients.
Your reputation will speak before you do.

And if you feel ready to step into your own presence, build something beautiful, and finally share your work with the world – don’t be afraid to do it with soul. That’s where the real magic begins.
And if you need support – I’m here to help you do it with clarity, branding, and business strategy.
