VK Ads
We launch and manage VK Ads: targeted advertising on VKontakte and the VK network — for the Runet audience. Honestly and bluntly upfront: VK is a large platform for the Russian audience and a good alternative to social networks blocked in Russia, but like any advertising it brings traffic and does NOT guarantee sales/leads/ROI (depends on the product/offer/landing/creatives). Works while there is a budget; the auction/moderation decides; suitable creatives are needed. We honestly run campaigns and optimize by data, without promises of result.
VK Ads — overview
VK Ads is the setup and management of targeted advertising on VKontakte and the VK ad network (the new VK Ads cabinet): audiences (interests, look-alike, retargeting, communities), creatives, formats, goals, optimization. The work: analyzing the business/offer/landing, setting up campaigns, audiences, creatives, management and optimization. Honestly about 'a large Russian platform, but advertising ≠ a guarantee of result': VK is one of the main channels for the Runet audience (especially after the blocking of some foreign social networks), with broad targeting options. But competent advertising brings traffic/requests, while sales, leads and return depend on the product, offer, price, landing, creatives, competition. Advertising increases the chances, does not guarantee revenue; 'guaranteed leads/ROI' = a lie. Honestly about 'works while there is a budget': stopping = stopping traffic; regular expenses. Honestly about 'the auction/moderation decides': the cost per impression is determined by VK's auction; ads go through moderation (may be rejected); rules change. Honestly about 'suitable creatives are needed': effectiveness strongly depends on creatives and the offer; weak creatives will drain the budget (production is separate). Honestly about 'traffic ≠ sales': conversion depends on the landing/offer/product; advertising will not save a weak offer. Honestly about 'optimization is a process': a learning period, tests, data. Honestly about transparency: the ad budget (VK) ≠ commission. Honestly about the effect: it sets up and manages VK Ads for the Russian audience, bringing targeted traffic/requests and optimizing by data, but it is not a guarantee of sales/leads/ROI (depends on the product/offer/landing/creatives); works while there is a budget; the auction/moderation decides; traffic ≠ sales. Honestly about access: a budget, a landing/community, creatives, access are needed. An important boundary: this is VK Ads; myTarget/VK Ads (old) — 447; Yandex.Direct — 437; SMM — group 472; landings — 342. The base price starts from 22,000 ₽ for management (the ad budget is separate).

FAQ
Do you guarantee sales/leads/return from VK Ads?
No, honestly: VK is a large platform with good targeting, competent advertising brings traffic/requests, but sales, leads and ROI depend on the product, offer, price, landing, creatives and competition. Advertising increases the chances but does not guarantee revenue. 'Guaranteed leads/ROI' is a deception. We honestly manage and optimize by data, without guarantees.
Set up advertising — and it works by itself?
No, honestly: advertising works while there is a budget (stopping = stopping traffic) and requires management/optimization (the auction, competitors, creative fatigue). It is a continuous channel and work, not a one-time fix.
Good targeting — and sales will come?
Not by themselves, honestly: even precise targeting brings only traffic; conversion depends on creatives, the offer, the landing and the product. Weak creatives or an offer will drain the budget. We will honestly analyze where the problem is (campaigns/creatives — our area, or the landing/offer — they need work) and will not blame everything on 'bad advertising'.
