As the SEO Expert for Solomia Home, a luxury furniture brand based in the UAE, I spearheaded a digital marketing campaign that transformed the brand’s online presence from nonexistent to globally recognized within one year, starting in December 2023.

Anvar Bogdanov has built a unique career by turning deep customer understanding into a powerful business driver. With roots in law enforcement and entrepreneurship, he has consistently applied psychological insight and structured thinking to the field of marketing. Today, as an independent consultant, Anvar leads customer development (CustDev) initiatives for businesses across the heating equipment, medical supply, and digital sectors — consistently delivering measurable sales growth and product-market alignment.
His standout contribution lies in a distinctive approach to CustDev, which he has refined into a practical framework that directly influences marketing strategy, sales funnels, and product design. Unlike traditional customer surveys, Anvar’s method uses in-depth psychological probing to uncover not only customer pain points but also subconscious drivers of purchase behavior. He carefully constructs each interview to create trust and provoke genuine insights — often culminating in the customer purchasing the product during the interview itself.

If payment is secured, the same script is reused for others. If not, the questions are refined — creating a continuous feedback loop that evolves in real time based on actual purchasing behavior. The learnings are then transformed into specific marketing triggers, updated sales scripts, blog content, and social media creatives. This system ensures that marketing speaks the language of the customer — literally using their own words, priorities, and emotions.

Thanks to this approach, Anvar has helped clients significantly increase funnel conversion rates and discover unmet customer needs, leading to the launch of new revenue-generating product lines. His strategy doesn’t just improve campaigns — it transforms businesses by putting the customer’s voice at the center of every decision.

This nomination recognizes Anvar Bogdanov’s outstanding work in creating a living, adaptive, and customer-driven marketing system that delivers both commercial success and lasting brand loyalty.

Short Summary Following McDonald’s exit from Kazakhstan in 2023, we faced the urgent challenge of building a new brand that could win consumer trust and compete in a fiercely competitive QSR market. In November 2023, we introduced I’M Restaurants, marking the start of our journey to establish a distinctive identity. I had a unique chance to lead the development and execution of the Qazan Burger campaign during Nauryz (March–April 2024) to accelerate brand recognition and restore sales momentum. This strategic initiative leveraged deep consumer insights, cultural storytelling, and a high-impact multi-channel strategy to position I’M as a locally relevant and emotionally resonant brand. The results exceeded expectations: +17% sales growth, record-breaking product performance, and a surge in brand awareness. By transforming skepticism into loyalty, the campaign proved that a locally inspired brand can not only survive but thrive against global competitors. Brief description of the setting and circumstances: McDonald’s sudden exit from the Kazakhstani market in 2023 presented a significant challenge for the company. We successfully launched the new brand “I’m Restaurants” with a smooth transition and overwhelmingly positive reception, not only in Kazakhstan but also across the CIS region. However, after an initial surge in sales, demand dropped sharply, marking the beginning of our journey to establish a unique brand identity. With intense competition in Kazakhstan’s quick-service restaurants industry, rivals quickly moved to capture the market share left by McDonald’s, using aggressive promotions, new product launches, and increased marketing efforts to challenge our brand. “I’m” found itself in a unique situation that required swift decision-making, a strategic approach, and effective communication to emphasize its local identity while maintaining international standards. This was a critical moment for the business, as we experienced a decline in customer visits and sales. Our main objective was not only to retain our existing customers but to strengthen their loyalty and lay the foundation for the brand’s long-term success. Rebuilding trust and reconnecting with our audience was essential to ensuring a smooth transition. We aimed to show that I’M was more than just a new brand—it was a part of local culture. We decided to launch a campaign during the national holiday of Nauryz, which is traditionally a time of heightened advertising activity, making it essential for us not just to attract attention but to forge a deep emotional connection with our audience. Goals: – Recover sales lost after McDonald’s exit. – Establish “I’m” as a familiar and trusted brand within the local market. Key Strategies: – Launch a Limited-Time Offer (LTO) featuring Qazan Burger and Chicken Qazan, tailored to local taste preferences. – Partner with popular Kazakhstani singer Raim to enhance emotional engagement through celebrity endorsement. Target Audience: Young adults aged 18–35 in cities where I’m Restaurants operate (Almaty, Astana, Karaganda, Kostanay, Aktobe, and Atyrau). This demographic is highly engaged with quick servicve restaurants and enjoys trying new menu items. Market research revealed that local consumers particularly value juiciness and spice in burgers. Using these insights, the Qazan Burger and Chicken Qazan were developed to cater to their preferences.

Over the past seven years, he has transformed the challenges of cross-border retail into engines for growth, scaling multiple Amazon businesses from Ukraine to the United States and redefining what’s possible in today’s hyper-competitive marketplace.

His operational achievements are extraordinary in an industry where just 0.01% of U.S. Amazon Marketplace sellers ever surpass $1 million in annual sales. After relocating to the U.S. amidst the war in Ukraine, Serhii rebuilt from scratch and quickly achieved over $100,000 per month in FBA wholesale sales. These results were independently audited and recognized by AmazonLit—the leading Amazon wholesale seller community in North America—through their $50K and $100K/month verified performance awards, an achievement reached by fewer than 10% of their 1,000+ members.

As a community leader, Serhii contributes actively to the top professional networks in Amazon wholesale, including The Wholesale Network’s “Mastermind” tier and the EsellersRI group. He shares tested systems, automation tools, and actionable frameworks that empower sellers worldwide. His role as a featured speaker at the Ukraine Seller Conference and Harper College Business Club in Illinois further amplifies his commitment to education and mentorship.

Serhii’s academic credentials—a U.S.-equivalent Master’s in economic analytics and a Bachelor’s in Economics with honors—equip him to bridge data science with business execution, driving sustainable, year-over-year growth.

In a marketplace where the average seller generates $250,000 annually, Serhii Novosel’s seven-figure, cross-continental businesses and proven leadership distinguish him as a true industry exemplar. His verified results, peer recognition, and national honors—earned in rigorous, highly competitive environments—position him not only as a top seller but as an architect of the future of e-commerce.

Digital Marketing Leader of the Year As the Digital Marketing Manager at Summit Properties USA, I specialize in increasing foot traffic to shopping malls across the United States. This task is particularly challenging due to two significant factors: Not all malls are in ideal condition, requiring creative strategies to enhance their attractiveness. The rise of e-commerce, which has shifted consumer shopping behaviors toward online platforms, reducing physical store visits. To address these challenges, I developed a comprehensive digital marketing strategy tailored to each mall’s unique circumstances. My approach includes: Social Media Management for Malls: I implemented a structured content strategy across Facebook and Instagram to engage local communities, showcase mall offerings, and highlight tenant success stories. By leveraging targeted advertising and organic engagement, I successfully increased reach and interactions with potential visitors. Support for Local Businesses: Recognizing that tenants’ success directly impacts mall traffic, I initiated a support program to amplify their presence on social media. This includes collaborative promotional campaigns, content creation guidance, and featuring tenant businesses in mall-wide marketing efforts. This strategy has strengthened the relationship between malls and their tenants while driving customer engagement. Event-Driven Traffic Growth: I designed and executed an event program to attract additional visitors. These events range from seasonal markets and community gatherings to interactive experiences that encourage repeat visits. To maximize attendance, I implemented targeted event promotions through social media advertising, influencer collaborations, and strategic partnerships with local organizations. Strategic Planning and Performance Tracking: We have developed a structured event and marketing program for 2025, ensuring consistency and strategic growth. Each month, we track results using the Placer AI platform, allowing us to measure the impact of our initiatives and adjust strategies accordingly. The results of my digital marketing initiatives have been significant, with increased social media engagement, higher attendance at mall events, and positive feedback from both tenants and visitors. Notably, in the first two months of 2025, event attendance increased by 27%, post views on social media grew by 67%, and the number of followers on Facebook and Instagram continues to rise each month. Through data-driven decision-making and innovative marketing tactics, I have contributed to revitalizing physical shopping experiences and enhancing community connections within the malls Summit Properties USA manages.

My transition from architecture and teaching architectural design to content creation began in 2016 when I started collaborating with hotels as a content and UGC creator and social media manager.
What’s truly interesting is how my architectural background has become an unexpected (even for me) advantage in content creation. I apply fundamental design principles — composition, spatial awareness, and color theory—to create visually sophisticated content that resonates with audiences.

This unique perspective has led to amazing partnerships with over 32 hotels across 15 countries from 2017 (14 for the last 3 years), where I’ve curated content strategies that drive engagement and deliver measurable results in social media traffic and audience growth.
These successes opened doors to collaborations with global brands like Lancôme, Penhaligon’s, Huawei, Lenovo, Yves Rocher, NYX, Milka, Nutella, Purina One, Pfizer, Sony, and many others. Since 2018, I’ve also expanded my impact by developing comprehensive courses on brand collaboration and hotel partnerships. As a mentor to over 1,000 students who now work with industry leaders like Vogue, Four Seasons, and Mandarin Oriental.

The strategy is very simple:
Keep your finger on pulse of marketing, be creative, and develop your powers of observation.
Develop a teaching methodology in which everything will be clear and structured, so students can apply the information as instructed step by step.
