The Success Story of Karolina Geits
Karolina, despite all the quarantine barriers, your career is rapidly developing. What is your secret to success?
When restaurants, public places, and cinemas got canceled for the first time in New York City, of course, I’ve panicked along with everyone in the industry. The contracts flew one by one because we could not carry out the planned filming and travel as part of the advertising projects. For a while, we all mobilized at home, but sometimes I continued to go to the park for personal training in the fresh air with a trainer because it is important for a model to stay fit. A popular publication became interested in this and we made a video for them about sports during the quarantine. After that, other brands began to write about cooperation, offering to become an ambassador, advertising contracts - and this is how my quiet quarantine life ended. Now we are shooting with a small team for brands and their online sales, as it is no secret to anyone that online sales have increased significantly.
Which brands have you collaborated with lately?
There are a lot of them, only in the last month, I worked with Arutiunova, All Saints, Kamica Hampton, Lady Hunter Lingerie, Monosuit, Solomeina, Elena Rudenko, Caprice Decadent, AnnieCouture and became the ambassador of one of the emerging Ukrainian brands.
Karolina, have you already mapped your wishes, what do you expect from next year?
Of course, every year I make a list of desires and goals for myself - this is very motivating for moving forward and developing. I can surely say that in the past year I managed to realize most of what I had planned. Next year, I plan to finish a book about my life and launch it in bilingual sales, do a Times Square advert for a brand, and travel around the world.
You are an ambitious girl! What qualities do you value in people?
Our environment creates our reality. I believe that you need to surround yourself with confident, positive, and ambitious people in order to move forward and develop together. One’s company must, first of all, motivate and be interesting. I also really appreciate honesty, professionalism, and sincerity in people. I do not like deceit and cynicism, therefore people around me do not possess those qualities.
Can you share with us two tips for our readers for the next year?
Do not be afraid to set ambitious goals! Even if they are partially implemented, you will feel the result! And surround yourself with motivating people, together with them you will develop and reach new heights.
