Irina Titova
@irinatitova
Marketing leader at MarketerHire who repositioned Waterlift and nearly doubled conversion for a DTC wellness brand.
What I'm looking for
At MarketerHire, I advise founder-led consumer, DTC and digital businesses on positioning, market entry and go-to-market strategy. I help connect customer insight and proposition to the channels and teams that support growth.
At Hungry Minds, I owned a ~$15M annual marketing budget and led a ~20-person team across five markets. Revenue grew ~3.5× in six months, and I led expansion into Germany and Italy while building a brand book and proposition framework used across markets.
At Waterlift, I tested positioning across audiences and price points after identifying an audience–message–offer fit issue. CAC fell from ~$230 to ~$150, conversion nearly doubled, and CTR increased by ~40%. I’ve also built MEALTY’s UK go-to-market from market research and rebuilt onboarding and behaviour-based CRM at SberHealth.
