eCOM
2020 - 2023
One of the areas where I consistently grow my expertise is MARKETPLACES and eCommerce in the fashion industry, as the largest segment in eCom
My first involvement with marketplaces dates back to 2011, when Maksim Nogotkov (Svyaznoy) launched the ENTER project — a multichannel retailer with a universal range, selling through online platforms, physical retail, innovative terminals, catalogues, and phone-based call centres
In 2015, I worked on a strategy for Adidas Russia, where I clearly concluded that the company needed to enter marketplaces and convinced them to launch on WB and LAMODA (for reference, Adidas had previously stopped working with marketplaces like Amazon and eBay in 2012 and began developing its own online retail store)
In 2022, I conducted a full analysis of all segments on WB and saw that Adidas ranked #1 in revenue among all brands on the platform

In the past few years, I’ve worked across various market segments — from basic clothing and lingerie to growing sewing workshops and highly niche designer brands. I’ve designed online clothing stores, developed branding for manufacturers, and created marketing strategies based on my own in-depth market analysis
Vintage fur coats KUMANDINKA, DE MOi (a modern vintage aesthetic inspired by 1920s–30s France), OLGA BABICH Fashion (Novosibirsk), and also created the Corsetta brand (women’s lingerie) from scratch and launched it on WB

2016 - 2017
AutoBusinessReview magazine published a series of my original articles on automotive marketing and the future of internet and car sales development
“Consumer behaviour has changed fundamentally.
Today, the battle among car companies for hearts, minds, and money is being lost (or won) in so-called micro-moments. This term, introduced by Google, refers to the moments that follow a consumer’s intent during the decision-making process and shape their preferences.
These moments can be traced throughout the entire customer journey towards buying a car. Users no longer sit in front of a screen for long periods. Research — including that related to cars — now happens in short bursts, across various devices.
As mobile devices become an inseparable part of our daily lives, we are witnessing a fundamental shift in how people interact with media.”

“In the fight for traffic in an unstable market, dealers have stopped doing real marketing. The internet has played a cruel joke on advertisers — now it’s possible to ignore the quality of the advertising itself.
The winner is simply the one who can pay more.
But in most cases, dealers are more focused on spending the budget than on truly monitoring the effectiveness of online advertising. For many marketers, the only metric left to evaluate their work is the number of calls to the dealership.”
