I’m Laryssa Wirstiuk,
Marketing Expert
I help brands build lasting connections through thoughtful, customer-focused marketing – and the systems that support their growth.


Rooted in story.
Driven by strategy.
Committed to results.
For more than 15 years, I’ve been shaping brands from the inside out – building strategies, writing stories, and creating systems that connect.
I’ve worked across industries like tech, education, wellness, and luxury jewelry, with experience that spans in-house, agency-side, and independent consulting. You might know me as the founder of Joy Joya, the author of Jewelry Marketing Joy, or the one other agencies call when they need someone who just gets strategic email marketing.
I’m here for the creative thinkers, the thoughtful brands, and the people who want to grow without compromising their values.
What I Do
I’m not just a strategist – I’m a builder, a communicator, and a creative force.
Over the years, I’ve shaped brands from every angle: behind the scenes, in front of an audience, and through the stories I tell.

Marketing
Strategist
Through my agency, I help product-based brands build smart, sustainable retention marketing systems powered by email, SMS, and stories. My work is data-informed, customer-centric, and built to last.

Entrepreneur
& Team Leader
Since founding Joy Joya in 2016, I’ve grown a remote, values-driven team I love working with. Together, we’ve supported dozens of creative businesses, combining strategic vision with collaborative execution.

Creator
& Educator
I’m the host of Joy Joya Podcast and co-host of Success With Jewelry, with 400+ episodes published across both shows on thoughtful marketing for creative entrepreneurs. I’m also the author of two books and countless articles.

Speaker
& Collaborator
I speak globally on marketing, storytelling, and brand growth—and I partner behind the scenes with agencies as a white-label strategist. Whether I’m on stage or deep in a shared doc, I bring clarity, discernment, and energy to the work.

My Approach
I’m not here to push tactics. I’m here to build relationships – between brands and their customers, between strategy and storytelling, and between intention and execution.
With an MFA in creative writing and a strategist’s mind, I merge intuition and analysis to bring clarity to complex problems. My work is shaped by discernment, empathy, and a no-BS approach that values depth, clarity, and actual results.
