My name is Boryana Dimitrova McDonald. I am a Marketing Strategy Coach based in Philadelphia specializing in wellness businesses. I am also a Marketing Professor at Drexel University.

By combining academic insight with real-world experience, I guide wellness business owners in building strong foundations so their marketing feels focused, aligned, and effective (not overwhelming or inconsistent).​​​​​

Marketing for Wellness Businesses

 

Who It’s For​

​My work is designed for wellness businesses who are ready for the next level but feel stuck in how to get there.

You might be here if you are:

  • Experiencing stagnant or plateaued growth

  • Aware of untapped potential but unsure how to unlock it

  • Feeling a disconnect between where your business started and where it needs to go

  • Caught in day-to-day operations with little time to think strategically

I help you step out of the day-to-day and into a clear, confident strategy so your business can grow with intention, not guesswork.

How We Work Together

I offer 1:1 coaching for wellness business owners who are ready to move from scattered marketing to a clear, strategic approach that drives consistent growth.

My approach goes beyond quick tips and trending tactics.

I help wellness businesses build a strong marketing foundation rooted in proven, timeless principles, not guesswork or short-term hacks.

  1. Clarify – Your value, ideal client, customer journey, and positioning

  2. Build – Your brand foundation and core messaging

  3. Align – A strategy that consistently attracts and converts clients

The result: you can step out of the daily noise, focus strategically, build trust, and grow with confidence.

If you’re ready to build marketing that feels authentic and aligned with your “why,” I would love to help you grow.

About Me

I hold a PhD in Marketing from Drexel University and am an Associate Clinical Professor at the LeBow College of Business. I have been featured three times in the Drexel News blog, where I shared expert insights on the 2023 Super Bowl ads, the #Cancel Kellogs campaign, and AI use in 2026 Super Bowl ads. I have also appeared on The End in Mind podcast and contributed to Green Philly and the Mango Marketing Co. blog.

 

I’m also a mom of three, an immigrant from Bulgaria, and a dedicated yoga practitioner. After becoming a parent, I was inspired to study brands that truly align purpose, sustainability, and customer experience and to help wellness businesses do the same.

Black Sea is a personal name rooted in my childhood in Varna, Bulgaria. It represents family, connection, and a sense of home. These are values that guide my work and approach to marketing.

What People Who Have Worked With Me Say

The lessons on the voice of the customer (VOC), design-driven innovation, problem-solving analysis, and new product innovation have directly connected and further my learning as I am able to apply them to my projects at work. 

For example, we have just released a new condensate removal pump that is outfitted into our standard bottle-free coolers. Based on the teachings of the voice of the customer and what customers are looking for in new products, we made sure to prioritize function to enhance performance... As we put the voice of the service agents and customers first, we were able to understand where exactly the market gap lied and what the most effective way to fix it was.
