Val (Valdas) Samonis
If you're reading this, I'll wager you're sitting on something genuinely valuable — a seminar concept, a body of expertise, maybe even a program that's already run a few cohorts — and you're frustrated that the marketing side doesn't match the intellectual caliber of what you've built. You know exactly how a current account deficit ripples through emerging market currencies. You can model sovereign risk in your sleep. But "setting up a LinkedIn campaign" or "writing a landing page" feels like translating into a language you never studied. That gap is real, and it costs experts like you real revenue every single year.
I built Global Economy Lab to solve that specific problem. Not marketing in general — marketing for high-stakes, premium-priced, expertise-driven seminars aimed at audiences who are professionally trained to be skeptical. C-suite executives, senior policy-makers, and business school faculty do not respond to the same triggers as consumers buying a $49 online course. They evaluate credentials, peer networks, and intellectual rigor before they ever look at a price. The entire system inside this program is designed around that reality.
What we cover is both strategic and operational. We start at the foundation: carving out a defensible niche in the global economics space and building a brand identity that signals authority before a prospect reads a single word of copy. We move through landing page architecture, sales funnel design, tiered pricing logic, and registration flows — all calibrated for high-ticket professional buyers. Then we build the content and thought leadership engine that earns trust over time, because for a seminar at this price point, the nurture sequence matters as much as the ad spend.
I want to be direct about something, because I think you'll appreciate it: this program will ask you to do work that feels unfamiliar. Writing ad copy. Configuring a Campaign Manager account. Diagnosing a funnel drop-off in an analytics dashboard. None of that is intellectually difficult for someone with your background — it just requires learning a new set of instruments. The payoff is a marketing system you own and understand, not one you're perpetually renting from an agency and hoping works.
The professionals who get the most from this program are the ones who treat it the way they'd treat any serious domain: methodically, with attention to the underlying logic, not just the surface tactics. If that's how you operate — and I suspect it is — then you're in the right place. Let's build something worth filling.
