Hi, I’m Marcus Anthony Cyganiak — a Canadian-European entrepreneur, writer, and digital media technologist.
I wrote my first line of code in 2000, and I’ve been building on the internet ever since. Over the years, I’ve created platforms, co-founded a company, and developed media brands that now reach millions of people across the globe.
In 2009, I teamed up with my dad to launch BuyRIC, a real estate site focused on the Vancouver market. That led to The Pinnacle List in 2011, which evolved into a global luxury real estate media brand. By 2016, we were publishing travel stories through TRAVOH. And in 2017, we brought it all together under Solespire Media, the digital media company we co-founded to power those brands and more.
But this blog — Marcus.Blog — is something else entirely.
It’s not a business. It’s not a brand. It’s a place for me to write as myself.
Here, I share thoughts, experiences, and ideas I’ve picked up — and continue to wrestle with — across entrepreneurship, digital media, SEO, technology, design, branding, and the process of turning vision into digital reality.
It’s also where I reflect. On mindset. On philosophy. On the human side of building.
I’m not trying to be perfect. I’m just trying to be present — and publish consistently.
If you’re building something, thinking differently, or just curious about the journey behind the platforms, this space is for you.
Thanks for reading.
— Marcus
