Prior to co-founding ContentRadar together with Riccardo Buzzotta, Katia Yakovleva worked for media giants such as EMI Music Publishing, Coca-Cola, and Spotify, where she recognized a common problem that diminished the value of every creative in marketing.
Marketers who wanted to create outstanding and effective content for clients were being buried under an avalanche of repetitive, mind-numbing tasks: drafting content, repurposing it for different platforms, and managing multiple tools just to stay on top of their daily workflows.
The process was time-consuming and inefficient, leaving little room for the creative lifeblood that lured them to generate new content in the first place. For Katia, this caused a lot of frustration, and she wasn’t alone. Her marketing colleagues, who normally loved their jobs, were overworked and recognized that the problem was growing worse over time.
“I wanted to give marketers superpowers, liberating them from manual and tedious tasks. It’s about simplifying content creation and repurposing,” said Katia.
When creativity suffers, it breaks the connection with audiences and derails the content strategy. Put simply, if you show up to work hating your job, your output is going to reflect that.
But Katia believed deeply that there had to be a better way. If creatives could outsource those mundane tasks that proved to be a grind, they could take back their power and love their jobs again. That belief led to the creation of ContentRadar.
Traditional Marketing Workflows Are the Death of Creativity
For years, Katia watched traditional marketing workflows struggle to keep up with the pace of modern content creation.
Having started her career in marketing, she experienced firsthand how fragmented and outdated processes slowed teams down. Despite all the advancements in technology, marketers were still juggling multiple tools. Whether it was writing content in one place, designing graphics in another, switching tools to track performance, and using yet another tool to schedule posts and coordinate.
It was a chaotic, disjointed system that drained creativity and left little room for strategic thinking.
Even though Katia loved her career at Spotify, where she’d spent over a decade, she knew that she had something more to offer the world.
Even a highly-paid professional at a fantastic company eventually hits a wall and wonders what’s next. According to Katia, “It’s been more than a decade, two countries, five different jobs. At some point, you have to close the chapter and do something new.”
If inefficiency is the problem that leads to burnout for marketers, she knew that it needed to be fixed.
The Solution Became the Salvation with ContentRadar
The constant back-and-forth between platforms and specialists adds unnecessary layers of complexity in marketing. As Katia put it, “Marketers spend more time managing their tools than they do creating content, thinking strategically, or talking to their customers. It’s clear that something needs to change.”
By streamlining these processes, marketing professionals can reclaim their time, focus on creativity, and truly unlock their full potential. This realization became the driving force behind Katia co-founding ContentRadar, a platform designed to give marketers “superpowers” by automating the tedious, time-consuming tasks that bog them down.
Katia’s vision is clear. According to her, “If marketers spend less time on manual work, they can focus more on innovation, creativity, and driving real results.”
ContentRadar was born on the premise that a clear to-do (and thus a clear mind) can let creatives get back to being creative. The platform leverages AI to automate the repetitive tasks that eat up valuable time, allowing marketers to work more visionary, less ordinary.
It allowed Katia to rediscover the joy that originally lured her to work in creative industries, media, and tech.
The way it works is surprisingly simple: ContentRadar takes a piece of content — like a blog post or a YouTube video — and uses AI to repurpose it across multiple platforms. Normally, it might take all day for a human to transcribe, then write out text into numerous apps and relaunch it across various platforms.
With just a few clicks of ContentRadar, a marketer can transform that single piece of content into a series of LinkedIn posts and Twitter threads, with support for Instagram stories and more coming soon.
What used to be hours of manual reformatting can now be done in seconds
Real-World Impact: How ContentRadar is Changing the Game
Since launching ContentRadar, Katia Yakovleva has seen firsthand how her platform is transforming the content marketing process.
For example, an early-stage venture capital fund that struggled to manage its online presence was spending hours every week creating content, only to find themselves short on time when it came to repurposing that content across platforms.
With ContentRadar, they were able to streamline the entire process — taking a single blog post and turning it into a week’s worth of social media content, email campaigns, and newsletters in a fraction of the time and cost. This allowed them to focus their energy on strategy and deal flow rather than getting stuck in the weeds of content creation and spending too much resources on marketing ops.
Other clients include marketing managers and marketing teams from tech companies, ghostwriters, and social media agencies.
Katia herself has been able to experience outstanding results with her own workflow and content that she posts about ContentRadar. She was excited to report that, “Marketing is fun for me again, because I don’t have to worry about all that back-end stuff that nobody loves. I can start my week with a simple content plan that I’m excited about, not a to-do list of tedious tasks.”
This shift can be transformational.
Take Back Your Time with ContentRadar
As ContentRadar continues to grow through win after win, Katia invites marketers, business leaders, and creatives to join the movement. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur trying to manage your own content or part of a large marketing team, ContentRadar can help you take your workflows to the next level.

Imagine being able to plan out an entire content calendar with AI-generated suggestions for text, graphics, and video content, all tailored to your audience and backed by data. The future is happening right now–and it’s available to everybody.”
