About Powerful Marketers

Powerful Marketers was created with a mission to inspire, connect and support overwhelmed SME owners internationally. We believe that a Powerful Marketer is someone who has the right mindset, skills and expertise, and (s)he has the ability to implement strategies and communicate in an inspiring way, and create success through leading him/herself and other people. Every business owner is first and foremost a marketer, but no one wins alone!

Powerful Marketers serves thousands of SME owners annually from all over the world. An international go-to resource for inclusive insights, inspiration, marketing advice, and support, our goal is to connect overwhelmed small businesses globally and to empower them to have confidence through building and running their businesses.

As a speaker and podcast guest, Mari-Liis speaks for gaining the right marketing mindset and the magic of growing ourselves personally to make the next professional chapter the best chapter by sharing insights from her signature framework.

5 steps to achieving true marketing success

Every SME needs to have their marketing performing at the highest possible level. Yet, a study by Fournaise Group claims 73% of CEOs say, “Marketers lack business credibility and the ability to generate sufficient growth, and 80% of CEOs simply don’t trust marketers at all, while 91% do trust CIOs and CFOs.” And within B2B, research from Trust Radius shows that 58% of B2B buyers do not believe the marketing claims from vendors they most recently bought from.


 DISTRUST, as it turns out, is one of the most expensive, yet invisible costs to both individuals and companies worldwide. Is it possible that this imperceptible problem is taking money out of your pocket, preventing your sales from growing, or creating frustration around your marketing?


Mari-Liis shares key insights and erases common misconceptions about how to overcome distrust in marketing, constant overwhelm, distractions, lack of clarity and other common day success saboteurs by building meaningful and long lasting marketing.

Our discussion will:

  • Develop an awareness of constant overwhelm

  • Debunk the myth that you need to work until you drop to become successful

  • Challenge the belief that marketing is not as important as sales

  • Show business owners why they can’t rely on advertising to bring them more clients

  • Define the marketing and sales funnel once and for all

  • Adopt an overall results-oriented attitude of marketing discipline

  • Explain all about professional & personal communication literacy

  • Teach how to lead long-term success working smarter, not harder 

  • Embrace 5 steps to create success in your marketing

Mari-Liis works with every new customer to create a highly customized version of her presentation, workshop or keynote depending on the audience, focusing on the following key topics: mindset, marketing strategy and its alignment, communication and leadership. Presentation may include graphically displayed frameworks, critical introspective questions and live audience interaction if needed.

Background questions to help get the conversation started:
  • What’s the biggest challenge that SME owners are facing in their marketing? How are you tackling it?
  • In your opinion, what is the most important personality trait/strength that SME owners need in order to build their business?
  • After decades in sales and marketing you decided to launch your own signature program. What made you come out with that? 
  • What is the most important lesson that you’ve learned in your career?
  • You talk a lot about how to overcome distrust in marketing, constant overwhelm, distractions, lack of clarity etc. but how to overcome all of those common day success saboteurs at once?
