What You’ll Read
Premise
A marketing newsletter that talks about loss, grief, fear, joy, and love. We will still cover practical issues in marketing and content work. But we will approach them like art, thinking about things that we're usually afraid to face head on.
About Me
As the name suggests, Attention Deficit Marketing Disorder (ADMD) is a very scattered marketing newsletter.
Subscribe for my thoughts on content marketing. My name is Mariya Delano and I am the founder of Kalyna Marketing. More importantly, I’m a professional attention-getter who medically sucks at paying attention (just ask my psychiatrist).
Join me and my goldfish memory as we attempt to navigate the world of long-form content. We will be thinking about content, writing, effective B2B marketing, passion, and strategy. Sometimes we might get distracted.
No publication schedule (planners scare me).
If you’re looking to learn more about my work or invite me to speak on your podcast / webinar / live event, take a look at my media kit. You can also find me on LinkedIn, Mastodon, or Threads.
