From tests and beauty gizmos to soothing buckwheat tea, here's a brief look at what the items in your bag say about working for an affiliate. 07.08, Mayachok, Sempro Fest pre-party — you come in with the thought “I’ll drop by for an hour,” and leave after a dozen acquaintances, three impromptu stand-ups near the prosecco zone, and with a cardholder full of new business cards. We decided to look at the profession from the side: not through presentations and complex professional pitches, but through… handbags. The things that people carry with them on the day of the event can say something unique about them that we would never have known otherwise. So let’s start discussing our friendly “bag raid”! Sabrina, Head of Sales, Affiliate World  Her starter pack of a trendy cappuccino handbag seems like it couldn't be...

SEO is not the same anymore That's what various experts say, and they're right. Do you remember the days when it was enough to write an article with +- properly selected keys, add a couple of links, and you were in the top? There is still a chance for this, but at the same time, a new world has emerged where artificial intelligence decides what to show the user first. Today we are dealing not only with Google Search but also with AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity. This means that we deal not only with SEO but also with AEO - Answer Engine Optimization. This is a new approach to how to create content so that it gets in response, not just in the SERPs. AEO vs SEO - what's the difference? SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is about how to...

You don't have a "Buy" button on your website. You don't drive traffic to a landing page with a counter. Your marketing is a blog, newsletter, podcasts, and media presence. And then you launch a new campaign, spend time, budget, and effort, and there's silence in CRM. No applications. No sales. The team starts to look at you askance. The founder asks: "Why are we doing this at all?" You know? Most companies get lost here. They try to measure the deep funnel as if it were a regular performance ad. But there is a nuance: not all marketing should sell directly, and that's okay. Content marketing, PR, brand awareness, expertise, loyalty, and audience engagement are all marketing. Just with a longer cycle and thinner signals. And if you look only at leads, you will miss the moments when the...

Is corporate identity in creatives a must or an invention of designers who just want to "look like a portfolio?" Can it be done quickly and beautifully without losing identity? And how not to get burned when the client adjusts everything to his mood? Read a frank conversation with a creative expert and learn how a recognizable style is born and why templates are not always evil, but our friend. And finally, what does a design that doesn't work look like, even if it's beautiful and the founder likes it. About this and even more in a conversation with our heroine - Kateryna, graphic designer at Lead Panda. About "corporate identity in creatives": does it exist at all? Of course, it does. Personally, I divide them into two options: the corporate identity of the company's brand and the corporate identity...

HR in our heroes' niches is not just about "finding a candidate." It's a marathon with obstacles: when there are either impostors with glossy resumes or seniors who still need to be persuaded to take a call. It's a speed work, where a candidate can "disappear" in 48 hours in arbitration. It's stress, deadlines, and situations where your online interview falls apart along with the ironing board. We talked to top HRs from MUUS, Leadpanda, and MI Agency about the most scarce candidates, aptitude testing, the most epic firings, demotivation, and keeping a team together when everything is on fire. No theories here. Only real experience, working tools, and a little professional humor. About the candidates who are the hardest to find today Alina, Founder of MUUS Recruitment Agency We work with different niches, and analyzing the market over the...

Tired of hearing about Temu, where everything has already been bought before you? In 2025, Ukrainian CPA will change dramatically, having grown out of scrolling banners: instead of hackneyed offers, we'll have local stories, TikTok uploads, and "yesterday's delivery." Why CPA in e-commerce is still alive and active in Ukraine In 2025, Ukrainian e-commerce is not just staying afloat - it has learned to squeeze out leads even when other players are putting their business on hold and catching drawdowns. CPA is still in the game because it's not about "dumping for luck" but about a clear reaction to the market. The war, hryvnia fluctuations, constantly relocating brands, broken delivery chains - all this is no longer "force majeure" but a background. This is why CPA works: you are paid only for the result, not for abstract promises. If you...

The world is changing before our eyes, and the buzzers scroll through the tape without blinking. Anything that doesn't catch the eye in the first seconds simply disappears. That's why brands are changing not only their presentation. The strategies themselves are changing. Don't explain - engage. Not to sell - to start a game. Why does Gen Z lose interest in 2 seconds? In times when there is more information and opportunities than the psyche can digest, users simply break down under their pressure. But "inattentive" is not about buzzers. Gen Z are not the ones who get lost, but the ones who filter. They grew up in an endless scrolling mode, where they turned from passive consumers to active participants. Therefore, everything that doesn't catch you from the first frame automatically goes away - at best, to that dead...

Once upon a time, TikTok was associated with teenage dancing, strange challenges, and questionable humor. But that's long gone. Today, TikTok is not just a video platform, but a powerful marketing tool. And while "serious" brands are cautiously holding on to Facebook and Instagram, it is TikTok that gives a chance to restart the image, restore trust, or even revive a business of any size. In this article, you will see real cases of Ukrainian brands that have used TikTok and changed their perception of themselves dramatically. Some of them were successful. Some - not. However, each case is worthy of attention. Why TikTok has become a platform for image relaunch TikTok works according to a unique logic: it doesn't matter how many subscribers you have. If the video is interesting, it will get views. The algorithm opens the door...

Do you still bet on the "review of Irina from Kharkiv" that every third grandmother saw on the Internet? The bad news is that in 2025, this won't work anymore. The audience is tired of fakes, screaming "minus 14 kg in a week" and landing pages that look like artifacts from 2016. Users are no longer led by triggers - they are led by trust. And that's why the winner is not the one who drives more traffic, but the one whose creative evokes the feeling of "this is real." UGC 2.0 is entering the arena - a new format of user-generated content that sells through empathy, recognition, and a "one of a kind" format. It can be: screenshots from Telegram conversations, voice "feedback from a friend", stories in the style of "well, I just tried it and I was...
