We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Anna Konstantinova. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Anna below.
Anna, so happy to have you with us today. You are such a creative person, but have you ever head any sort of creativity block along the way? If so, can you talk to us about how you overcame or beat it?
You can’t make a different soup with the same ingredients so it is important to shake it up. When you’re feeling blocked try something different than your typical day to day. Take a day off, go for a walk in a new neighborhood, smell a new scent – anything to get all 5 of your senses firing and wiring differently.
Also take your attention off the thing and allow your body to answer the questions for you- this happens for me in yoga, on the bus, on a run, walking next to water, getting a massage any thing that feels like its moving energy.
Try some breathwork to move stuck energy around too but the main thing I do is switch it ip!
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I help impact and sustainability brands tell their stories with my brand consultancy, annako.co.
I come from the world of Fortune 500 advertising and wanted to do things a little differently and more human. I work to elevate the brands that are working to change our world for the better whether in terms of climate, mental health, wellness, and beyond.
I work with my clients to take the brand out from their heads & hearts and into a strategy we can share with others and see come to life all around us.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Relationship building is super important, never discount a potential relationship as you never know what might happen.
Deck Design/Building is key to what I do as well as presentation skills
Improv helped me with all the above and more
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am looking for founders, designers, developers, artists all creative folks to work deeper with on creating brands and stories that can change the way we do things.
