Since launching Tech Suppliers Pro on the U.S. market in September 2024, Artem Kalashnikov has increased monthly turnover by more than 50 times, scaling from modest initial shipments to consistent monthly sales of $50,000–$100,000. In less than a year of operations, he achieved a single-record shipment of $56,000 and has maintained a strong, upward growth trajectory for the company.
Artem secured official partnership and distribution agreements with leading global technology brands—including Dell, Cisco, Lenovo, Western Digital, SanDisk, MSI, and Ubiquiti—as well as with major U.S. electronics distributors such as D&H and TDSynnex. Under his leadership, the company established an active client base of 24 companies, 6 of which are now regular customers. An impressive 80% repeat client rate underscores the trust and satisfaction he has fostered through exceptional service and reliability.
Artem has successfully built a thriving eBay channel, selling over 858 products since launch. He has earned an established monthly sales limit of up to $5 million on the platform. Customer satisfaction is reflected in 208 positive reviews with a 99% positive feedback rate, confirming his reputation for operational excellence and responsive service.
Artem implemented an integrated inventory and sales management system via Inventory Source, connecting Shopify, Amazon, and eBay for real-time synchronization of stock and pricing. This automation minimized errors, accelerated order processing, and enabled the company to scale rapidly. Using Shopify as a CRM and analytics platform, he elevated operational efficiency and significantly reduced order fulfillment time. Additionally, Artem pioneered the practice of developing custom procurement lists for regular clients, which deepened customer relationships and streamlined sales cycles. Targeted advertising campaigns further ensured a consistent pipeline of new business clients.
One of the hallmarks of Artem’s leadership is his commitment to European-level customer service.

His achievements have positioned Tech Suppliers Pro as a trusted, high-performing player in the U.S. electronics distribution sector in record time.

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.

Maestra.io is nominated as Best Marketing Automation Platform for revolutionizing how e-commerce brands automate and scale their customer communications. The context for this nomination is the increasing demand for omnichannel marketing efficiency. Modern marketers juggle email campaigns, SMS alerts, push notifications, pop-ups, and more – often across disjointed tools​. This fragmentation makes it hard to deliver a cohesive message or measure impact. Maestra was built to tackle this challenge head-on by providing a cloud-based marketing automation platform that unites a CDP, loyalty program, site personalization, omnichannel communications, and more into one interface​. Over the past few years, many mid-market e-commerce brands outgrew basic email tools (like Klaviyo) but lacked the tech resources for enterprise systems; Maestra stepped in as the ideal solution, offering drag-and-drop flow building and multi-channel campaign orchestration without coding​. The platform’s ease of use (each client gets a dedicated success manager for implementation) and breadth of capability allow lean marketing teams to launch complex automated journeys that previously required entire departments. In short, Maestra provides the context of a unified, scalable marketing automation hub where all customer touchpoints can be managed intelligently. This nomination recognizes Maestra’s role in enabling brands to do more with less – executing timely, relevant marketing actions at scale, which is the essence of marketing automation. Maestra Platform Customer Testimonials: George Granoff, CEO at REKS “They are designing, delivering, and managing our customer engagement which is resulting in producing 17% of our monthly sales.” Stephanie Bregman, Vice President Marketing at 4ocean “Maestra has become an essential part of our workflow. Its ease of use, reliable performance, and excellent support have exceeded our expectations.” Will Palumbo, Director of Marketing at Enlightened Equipment “I’m very happy with the product overall, and we’re even considering applying Maestra to our second brand as a 2025 project.” Etan Efrati, E-Commerce Manager at Magnum Bikes “We’ve not only significantly boosted our marketing efficiency but also created a cohesive omnichannel experience for our customers.” Kyle Cannon, Marketing Manager at Furniture Fair “Working with Maestra’s CSMs has set a new standard for what I expect from customer success. Instead of the usual monthly check-in and upsell, the collaboration is constant, communication is immediate, and the team is truly invested in our success.” Ceata E. Lash, CEO at PuffCuff “I’m super pleased with what we’ve achieved together and can’t recommend them enough.” Lana, Marketing Manager at Unidragon “Awesome! Effective client engagement, adaptable implementation, and rapid integration.” Jennifer Fenton, Sr Director of Marketing at Jolyn “I switched from Klaviyo and couldn’t be happier. The fee structure is straightforward and the features are already great but they keep adding new ones based on feedback.”

Creating an IT School: steps to reach educational horizons In a world where information technologies are rapidly developing, the importance of education in this field cannot be overestimated. The idea of creating an IT School was proposed by the PR team, as well as by Karapet Hakobyan, an experienced web developer from DataArt. His more than ten years of experience became the basis for creating this unique educational program aimed at helping new professionals eventually expand their technical knowledge and skills. As part of DataArt’s commitment to education and empowerment, the QA for the Women of Artsakh program provided women who were forcibly displaced from their homes in Artsakh with an opportunity to gain valuable IT skills. Through hands-on training and mentorship, participants learned the fundamentals of Quality Assurance (QA), helping them transition into the tech industry and rebuild their professional paths. The program not only equipped them with technical knowledge but also fostered resilience and new career opportunities in a supportive community. Classes are held twice a week, allowing participants to balance their studies with other responsibilities. The focus is on the offline format, which creates an opportunity for face-to-face interaction between instructors and students. This approach promotes better learning and allows for a friendly classroom atmosphere. Each course has specific requirements, which makes learning more structured and effective. A basic knowledge of English is a prerequisite for admission. This is a crucial factor, given that most modern technologies and resources are available in this language. Thus, IT School participants not only gain technical knowledge, but also develop their international communication skills. The project focuses on the creation of QA School for Artsakh Women, a course specifically aimed at supporting the socially vulnerable group of “Artsakh women”. This course has been designed to help women who find themselves in difficult circumstances and provides them with new opportunities for employment and professional development. QA School for Artsakh Women provides access to training in the field of software quality assurance, which opens new horizons for the participants in the IT field. The training is on the same terms as other courses: free of charge and in a convenient format, making it even more accessible to the target audience. Supporting socially vulnerable groups in such difficult times is an important aspect of IT School’s work, which emphasizes the importance of social responsibility of educational initiatives. In addition, the project was made possible thanks to a highly qualified team of organizers and marketing specialists ready to take care of recruiting participants and promoting the program. It is also important to note the presence of a senior staff member who shares their experience and supports students throughout the program. IT School has become not just an educational project, but a real platform for creating communities where people can share experiences and inspiration. This project aims to create a new generation of professionals capable of making a positive contribution to the world of technology. Thanks to the commitment of the organizers, the inspiration of the mentors and the participants’ desire to learn, IT School has turned into a significant event in the educational space. Thus, we take pride in the impact of our IT School programs, which provide hands-on education, career opportunities and industry-relevant skills to aspiring tech professionals. By equipping participants with essential knowledge and connecting them with mentors, we help shape future IT specialists and foster growth in the tech ecosystem. We look forward to achieving even greater successes and contributing to the advancement of the industry.

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.

Serhii Novosel stands at the forefront of global e-commerce, setting a new benchmark for excellence, innovation, and community contribution among Amazon sellers. 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.

Serhii’s reputation as a thought leader extends far beyond his business performance. In 2021, he was named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Ukrainian Business Awards (UBA)—one of the nation’s most prestigious honors for founders and executives. This is not an accolade granted lightly; the competition attracts hundreds of accomplished entrepreneurs across sectors, and the selection process is rigorous and highly competitive. Winners are chosen through a combination of peer review, independent evaluation of financial and operational metrics, and assessments of innovation and impact on the business community. For Serhii, securing this title meant standing out not only for outstanding commercial results but also for integrity, vision, and industry-wide influence.

His approach to e-commerce is rooted in rigorous system-building and automation. Serhii developed proprietary procurement and inventory frameworks leveraging spreadsheets, Google Apps Script, and AI-powered analytics, enabling his teams to execute at scale and minimize errors. He is the author of Amazon Wholesale Advantage: Winning Playbook, a tactical guide now used by many aspiring sellers. His strategies for negotiation—such as simulating purchase orders and optimizing global discounts—are recognized case studies in efficiency and margin improvement.

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.

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. Initially, the website had no traffic, no rankings, and zero visibility in the highly competitive luxury furniture market. Facing challenges like frequent Google algorithm updates in 2024, I drove exponential growth in organic traffic by targeting a discerning luxury audience searching for premium furniture brands and interior design solutions. My SEO strategies not only generated clicks and users but delivered a highly targeted audience, boosting Solomia Home’s visibility—including in AI-powered search answers—and establishing it as a trusted name for affluent customers worldwide. This nomination reflects my ability to achieve exceptional results, building a luxury brand from scratch and securing global reach through innovative SEO.

One of the unique features of this project was the argumentation of the SEO team’s solutions to the METRO team. Each task was discussed not only from an SEO benefit perspective but also from a business standpoint — how each solution could impact revenue.
This case illustrates the importance of cohesive teamwork. When everyone strives to achieve a common goal, we not only improve and optimize but also work towards business objectives.

We worked on demand, the catalog, and search visibility, achieving results that exceeded our annual plan. In 2024, non-branded SEO traffic to catalog and product pages increased by 27%, while revenue grew by 28%. We calculated revenue based on the entry page — “category|product|dynamic” within a single session.
In December 2024, we recorded a year-over-year traffic increase of 40%, and our forecast for 2025 is already 11% ahead. We have planned even more ambitious goals for 2025 compared to 2024.

In this project, we performed both basic search optimization tasks and came up with ways to scale solutions with minimal effort.
From experience, we know that in e-commerce, it’s crucial to monitor the indexing of pages to ensure that all catalog pages appear in search results. This way, users will see exactly what they are looking for. To achieve this, we set up proper indexing.

Daria Shiian is a strategic brand designer redefining how small and medium businesses leverage branding as a growth engine—not just a visual asset. Her unique contribution to the field lies in developing a data-driven model that quantifies the impact of branding on core business metrics such as revenue growth, customer acquisition, and brand trust. By linking branding investments directly to financial outcomes, Daria has equipped agencies and clients alike with a clear argument for seeing brand development as a strategic investment with measurable ROI.

She also pioneered a system of “premium branding democratization,” enabling local businesses to access high-quality, emotionally rich branding once reserved for large corporations. This approach combines human-centered insight, atmospheric design, multisensory experiences, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to create brands that function as cultural and emotional communities—not just commercial entities.

Among her key innovations is the introduction of multisensory branding and “atmospheric DNA” into visual identity systems, where elements like lighting, music, and spatial design become integral parts of the brand experience. Her “living brand architecture” framework ensures brand identities evolve naturally with changing markets and audience behaviors, minimizing the need for costly rebranding while maintaining cultural relevance.

Furthermore, Daria’s integration of AI-generated mockups into prototyping workflows has cut MVP development time by up to 40%, reduced budgets by 50%, and accelerated time-to-market for startups, helping them secure investment faster. These innovations make her work a reference point for modern brand-building—at once strategic, artistic, and scalable.

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.
