So Long, Spreadsheet Queen: Farewell to Our Head of Content

Margo joined Epom with two things: a borderline concerning love for K-pop and a vision for content that turned clicks into conversions. Her suggestions of songs in our Slack channel were often Korean pop ballads, and we still don’t know if one of her content briefs was secretly a BTS fanfic.

“If Margo were a genre, she’d be K-pop meets tech-punk meets gritty startup realism.” — Lena, Designer

Also, never forget her McDonald's roots — where she mastered the art of FIFO (First In, First Out), a method she later applied to everything from food containers in the fridge to how she handled blog post deadlines. Efficient? Yes. Slightly intense? Also yes.

She’s always been down to earth, chill when things were harsh, and demanding when things were too lazy. It’s almost impossible for Margo to be full of corporate BS, insincerity, or bad faith. Even when things got sour, we could always talk it out like friends — not like bosses and employees.

The Power of Pessimism (and Precision)

Where others saw “let’s just wing it,” Margo saw “let’s run this through a 9-tab content calendar with conditional formatting and at least three backup options.” Her slightly pessimistic outlook wasn’t a downer — it was her strategic edge.

If something could go wrong, she’d already written the damage control post, built a dashboard, and color-coded it in Google Sheets.

“Marharyta is a deep soul. Working with her was a great adventure — and it was always deeply interesting. She spent exactly 2,765 working hours with us from March 1, 2023 to April 12, 2025. It was a true honor to work with such a multifaceted human and copywriting professional. Thank you, Margo, for every single one of those hours.” — Lina, CMO

How Margo Rocked the Content World (and the Drums)

Outside of crafting killer strategies, Margo was known to drum up energy (literally), juggle a dozen tasks, and still make it to a new bar opening or corporate party. She had a knack for turning even the driest analytics doc into something actually fun to read.

“Margo brought her unique vibe into every workflow, skillfully charging the whole team with her morning stories and facts. I think she’ll now dedicate more time to her health, go on long forest walks, and just enjoy being in nature.” — Vlad, Developer

From Blog Posts to Books: What’s Next for Margo?

She’s off to finish her book — possibly a darkly witty story with spreadsheet metaphors and subtle commentary on the tech world. We imagine it’ll be written in Google Docs but exported through Notion, then cross-checked in Excel.

One thing’s for sure: wherever she goes, she’ll carry her unique brand of sarcasm, structure, and strangely impressive knowledge of how to keep lettuce fresh longer.

“I have no idea what Margo’s cooking up. Maybe she’ll finally finish that book she’s been writing. Or maybe she’s planning an epic trip to South Korea to rock out at her favorite band’s concert.

Or—plot twist—she starts her own rock band and takes the stage as the badass drummer. Or hey, maybe she’ll do all of that at once. Then again, she might just catch up on sleep like a true legend — and honestly, that sounds pretty amazing too.” — Alice, PMM

And finally, Stepan — the copywriting visionary and chaos theorist — leaves us with this: “So, what next? Margo never told us what she’s gonna fill her hiatus with, so let’s speculate:

• Good Ending: Margo buys a 1968 Mustang and becomes a drummer in an underground band. The war in Ukraine ends. Things get good. Money flows. She writes a feature track with me as her producer.
• Neutral Ending: Margo touches grass and deals with some kind of unknown grass virus, rescues a wild raccoon and secretly marries — all in one day, as usual. A couple of days of solid rest. She misses Epom. Comes back as a freelancer — but not as Head of Content.
• Bad Ending: Margo gets tired of constant wars and stress. She moves to South Korea and becomes a K-pop idol. Unfortunately, her fame never heals the wound of leaving Epom. Be careful what you wish for…”

No matter the outcome, our doors are always open for you, Marharyta. Don’t forget us — we’re going to miss you dearly.
