Who Am I?

I’m Kirill Samarits — creative director, brand strategist, and founder of two international companies bridging design, business, and impact.

I’ve spent the last 10+ years building ideas into brands, and brands into businesses.
What started as a one-man creative hustle has grown into two global operations:TERAMOK LLC, a full-service marketing and content production agency based in Chicago and Athens, working with clients across real estate, wellness, architecture, and luxury.BUY GREECE LLC, a next-generation real estate company connecting international buyers with handpicked properties and developments across Greece.
My work lives at the intersection of aesthetic excellence and strategic growth. I believe creativity without direction is decoration, and strategy without soul is forgettable. My approach blends both — emotion and execution — to build brands that feel good, perform powerfully, and stand out for the right reasons.

My Philosophy

Branding is a feeling. Marketing is the toolbox.I create brands and campaigns that people remember — not because they’re louder, but because they’re deeper, smarter, and more human.My Journey
I grew up obsessed with storytelling, visuals, and design — long before I had the tools or titles. I taught myself everything I could, worked my way into every room I wasn’t invited to, and built a career that spans cities, cultures, and industries.
Today, I work between Chicago and Athens, lead a team of international creatives, and advise companies on how to elevate their positioning, content, and presence. I’ve directed cinematic brand films, built multi-channel strategies, and led projects across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.
I’ve been fortunate to work with world-class clients, grow high-performing teams, and push boundaries in every direction — from AI-driven content to real estate marketing to immersive brand experiences.What I Stand ForCreative Excellence — I don’t do average. Every detail matters.Business Clarity — A good idea must be built to last.Growth Mindset — I believe in always learning, evolving, and building.Global Perspective — My work is shaped by working across borders, cultures, and industries.Honest Ambition — I’m not here to follow. I’m here to lead — and bring others with me.Let’s Connect

Early Life & Background

I was born on February 19, 1994, in Stavropol Krai, Russia, and moved to Athens, Greece, with my family at the age of four. Growing up between cultures — Russian roots and Greek life — shaped the way I see the world: open, layered, and deeply connected to both structure and emotion.
From an early age, I was drawn to visual storytelling, business, and technology. I explored everything from film editing and photography to early entrepreneurial experiments — long before I knew I was building the foundation of a creative career.
I pursued my academic path at the University of Peloponnese, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Systems, which gave me the technical grounding to complement my creative instincts. I continued to expand my education through certifications and hands-on learning in digital strategy, content production, and business leadership, with programs and projects that took me across Athens, New York, Las Vegas, and Miami.
Throughout my early years, I balanced my love for design and branding with a strong work ethic shaped by personal challenges, competitive sports (including handball at a national level), and even a period of service in a Greek special forces unit. These experiences taught me discipline, resilience, and the power of vision paired with execution.
Today, I draw on this foundation every day — in how I lead teams, build businesses, direct creative work, and mentor the next generation of entrepreneurs.
