Welcome. We’re Glad You’re Here.

We are Maggie Mark and Kai Cunliffe, the creators behind Riviera State of Mind™.

At the heart of our work is consulting.

We help founders, experts, advisers, property professionals, hospitality businesses and independent operators become clearer, more visible and more authoritative in the markets they want to own.

Our work covers business strategy, positioning, authority building, visibility, content, digital presence and strategic direction — especially for businesses operating in competitive, high-trust and premium markets.

Maggie brings a background in finance, marketing, writing, strategy, real estate and more than 25 years of expatriate experience. Kai brings expertise in technology, operational intelligence, digital systems, research and analysis.

Together, we look at the whole picture: what you offer, how you position it, how people perceive you, where your authority comes from, what is getting lost in your messaging, and what needs to change for the business to become easier to understand, trust and choose.

Riviera State of Mind™ is also the home of our growing collection of relocation and regional guides covering Monaco, the French Riviera, the Italian Riviera and the South of France.

The books are an important part of what we do. They combine research, practical experience and local insight to help readers make better decisions about where to live, buy, invest and build a life. They also reflect the same principle behind our consulting work: clarity before action.

Alongside this, we work selectively with opportunities in property, relocation, hospitality and related sectors where our network, regional knowledge or strategic expertise can add value.

So while the Riviera is the setting, the work is broader.

Business. Positioning. Authority. Visibility. Better decisions.

And, of course, the books.
