Masha has been with an affiliate for over two years, including almost a year with 1win Partners. Even before joining the team, Masha was inspired by the bright stands and recognizable brand style.

She keeps up the pace of her work, but does not forget about herself. He says the best thing to do when you are overwhelmed is to give yourself a break, put your phone down for at least a day and turn your attention to your needs. A simple thing that really works.

Nasa is when you have a background in television, digital agencies, and another 9 years of experience in PR. Today, she heads PR and SMM at Gorilla Partners, an affiliate of a licensed Ukrainian iGaming brand.

She is the kind of person who does not panic when something is on fire. Because everything is already calculated. Her superpower is crisis management in the style of “I see a risk, I neutralize it by morning.” She believes that 90% of communication failures are caused by the human factor, and she knows how to neutralize this factor through logic, analysis, and a cool head.

For her, PR is not about “sprucing up the image,” but about an influence strategy that really affects the trust of partners and sales. NASA works not for gloss, but for depth.

Kirill is not just a PR specialist, but a walking media machine. Arbitrage, crypto, marketing, NFT – everything in his cases is intertwined like in the best whitepaper. He writes analytics, analyzes the market, generates ideas – all of this pumps up both his personal brand and the entire niche.

His recent article on crypto, gambling, and the Benner cycle is not just a text. It’s like a trailer for the future. (We’ve added a link – search, read, bookmark).

Nastia is a person who “makes things beautiful.” As PR Director for several projects at once, she is in charge of communications, events, market relations, and brand awareness.

Everyone sees it at confabs, but few people know that it is often the reason why people hear about a brand before they see it. It is the “invisible engine” that makes publicity work.

Konstantin Golubev, WWL

Golubev is not just a PR person, but someone who creates traffic. In the literal sense. He has a network of resources, fintech knowledge, and a deep understanding of arbitrage. His approach makes G Partners sound loud and confident.

In short, it’s when your PR person is simultaneously digging into KPIs, SEO, and how best to sign an influencer at a conference in Budapest.

Artem is an Affiliate Manager, but he can give any PR specialist a run for their money. His area of responsibility is communication with partners, program management, and optimization of everything that moves in the iGaming niche.

Three promotions in three years. Because when you have strategic thinking + empathy + drive, only a cap can stop you.

Oleksandr Slobozhenko, owner of Traffic 

PR Heroes: who really pumps up a brand in a Ukrainian affiliate

Slobozhenko is already a brand. He is the founder of Traffic Devils in Ukraine. The person who made the biggest media campaign in arbitration. He writes a blog, shares cases, and speaks the language of the market.

And most importantly, he understands that PR is not about a press release, but about a community. It is about communication that lives, breathes and inspires. That is why he was named the most influential arbitrator of the year.

Vika Bakalova, I AM BRAND 

PR Heroes: who really pumps up a brand in a Ukrainian affiliate

Vika is a person in the truest sense. She is a blogger, PR director, YouTube show host, affiliate event host, singer, and now the founder of the I AM BRAND agency specializing in affiliate marketing.

Everyone knows her, because she is like a litmus test: if she appears somewhere in a story, it means that the event was a fire. She knows how to rock the community, create activities and keep the focus on people. And that’s all you need in PR.

Katya Aslanova, FROGO Anti-Fraud Platform

She clearly knows that being a boss is not a challenge, but a norm. And most importantly, she doesn’t just adapt to changes, she changes the rules of the game. It is this mindset that creates a new culture of PR and marketing in the industry

🔮 What’s next for affiliate PR? Spoiler alert: everything is serious but fun

Do you remember the days when it was enough to appear in some “industry media”, make a couple of posts and hold a champagne event – and you were already the “PR person of the year”? Well, forget it. Today, PR is not about press releases, but about real numbers, trust, and the ability to be proactive.

People trust people.

If your brand speaks to the audience in the dry language of a novice lawyer, it is simply drowned out. Now personalization rules: your CEO should blog, your PR director should make fun of himself on TikTok, and your ambassador should tell how he raised ROI in the middle of a game of padel.

The meme is a new press release.

Videos, reels, TikTok, memes, emotional stories from behind the scenes are not just “entertainment”. This is a new currency of trust. If your communication doesn’t keep up with the pace of the market, get ready to be left in the archives.

Anti-crisis is not about “the crisis is already here.”

It’s when you see it on the horizon before Reddit has even started to boil. And you have a meme, a comment, and an action for each scenario. Because in arbitration, 5 minutes of silence = loss of loyalty.

IT, hello.

Automated analytics, neural networks, blockchain in reputation – it sounds like science fiction, but welcome to reality. Whoever is the first to get into these things will be not just a PR specialist, but a strategist of a new era.

🧩Conclusion

PR is no longer an “auxiliary” department. It is the heart of communication and the brain of strategy. And the future belongs to those who can adapt faster than TikTok’s algorithm changes.
