Ana Calin built her career in marketing and brand strategy, from luxury brand marketing to personal brand consulting, before turning her focus to helping writers grow their newsletters. She serves as Marketing Chair for the Forbes Business Council and holds executive education credentials from Harvard Business School, giving her a strategist's eye for what actually moves an audience.

That strategic background led her to found How We Grow and create the 30-Day Substack Growth Sprint, a daily coaching program for writers stuck under 500 subscribers. Calin built the program around the same real strategy, no fluff approach she uses with her own brand clients, pairing daily action steps with live feedback so writers build momentum instead of just collecting advice.
