As a business consultant, being featured in a reputable magazine is always an honor. One such magazine is Brainz Magazine, which focuses on the forefront of business, leadership, and life hacks. Recently, I was fortunate enough to be featured on the cover of Brainz Magazine. In this blog post, I will share my entire process experience - from the initial contact to the final publication.
Also, I shared my experience on YouTube, so feel free to check it out here:
Becoming an executive contributor was the first step towards getting featured in Brainz Magazine. I got in touch with their editorial team, and after a few email exchanges, they were interested in working with me. They asked me to have a call with their team and detail what my story was. I discussed my journey as a business owner, my leadership skills, and how I dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic and also how I went from multi-six-figure debt to almost seven figures in less than two years. The highlights of that call were used to create a custom article and cover, which reflects my experiences as a CEO.
The next step was the cover shoot. We scheduled the shoot within a few days of the call. The magazine gave me full freedom to choose the location, and I chose my favorite spot – Warsaw. The shoot started in the early morning on a Monday and lasted for a few hours. The Brainz team was highly professional in their approach, and their photographer made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot. I’m so grateful for the whole team who assisted me during this photoshoot - that was such a fantastic experience!
After the shoot, the magazine contacted me to get my final approval for the cover. It was precisely how I envisioned it - professional and reflective of my personality. The article entry was also sent to me for final approval, which I was happy with.
One of the extras of being featured on the cover is also an interview with Mark Sephton on the Brainz Podcast, you can check out the whole interview here:
The final publication of the magazine was a moment of pride for me. I received all information via email, and I made sure to share them with me at any business events that followed. Brainz magazine has a wide reach, and the article acted as a great conversation starter with potential clients and partners. Additionally, the feature helped spread my business's message and values, increasing the number of inquiries we receive. Most important, one of my dream clients send me a message one day after the publishing and that only shows me the power of PR!

Getting featured in a magazine like Brainz can be an excellent opportunity for any business owner or CEO. It gives you a platform to share your experiences and insights with the world, and it helps you spread your message to a larger audience. Throughout my journey with Brainz, I was impressed with their professionalism and dedication to editorial excellence. I would recommend anyone to pitch their story to this magazine or others like it. As business owners, we should always look for ways to showcase our values and expertise to the world - and the media is a great platform to do so.
