I built a business from the ground up, creating a company that produced and sold colouring-in wallpaper and scaling it into a nationwide dealer network.
Over three years, I built a regional blog around a personal brand and made it the leading regional blog for monetisation and audience loyalty (as of 31 December 2023).
Companies I work with include:
Kia Motors, Leroy Merlin (Lemana Pro), Rostelecom, VkusVill, MegaFon, Tele2, Haval, jewellery manufacturers Sokolov and Kabarovsky, Buyskiy Chemical Plant, and others.
