about us

who we are
We’re a small agency, but we primarily work with big companies. And campaigns.

Our services come at a pretty high cost, but everything is transparent: we explain, show, and justify the numbers. We also pay our employees and contractors well, so they can love their work, have time to rest, and contribute effectively to the outcome.

The results of the projects vary, but we’re definitely not ashamed of them. In fact, we’re usually proud of our cases.
our story
We came up with vinou in 2019 and became an independent agency in 2020.
In the spring of 2018, Yegor Bitkov joined the RTA agency as part of the accelerator program to establish a social media department and started working with new clients. At that time, only a few people noticed this update, aside from Yegor’s friends on Facebook.

It quickly became clear that the business was growing at a good pace: new clients were satisfied, the complexity of projects was increasing, and the quality of performance did not suffer from scaling. The department became large and noticeable in 2019. A strong team was formed.

To maintain and accelerate the pace, we made a strategic decision to transform the department into a separate advertising agency. Its team was strengthened by new members, and RTA provided support, ensuring stable work, necessary assistance, resources, and expertise. This way, the new agency, with the flexibility and focus of a small team, enjoyed all the advantages of a major player.

philosophy
vinou — because we know what we’re doing…
And if something is unfamiliar or unclear, we aim to understand it first. We advocate for a conscientious approach to marketing and social media.

We are against stock photography and strive to create unique content from "big production" to budget-friendly low-cost solutions. We enjoy involving remote content creators in projects, talented individuals from completely different corners of the world.

We don’t engage in anything shameful or questionable: we don’t cheat, inflate numbers, deceive, or offer kickbacks. The market is very small. Today a person works in our team, and tomorrow they may work on the client side, so any "secrets" will quickly come out. That’s why we prefer not to engage in anything we want to hide.

our team
The agency’s business is built on the premise that we seek capable and talented individuals, help them grow and develop, and our clients purchase the results and process of their work.

That’s why the team is regularly refreshed and expanding. However, the agency’s founders are its active employees, ensuring the quality of both the process and the outcome.

And we have no random people. Even interns — they’re all talented!

Strategic Director
Initiated the first major and costly projects in Russian SMM back in 2009, such as integrations into the social game "Happy Farmer". However, I am modest and rarely discuss it.
Headed a multi-channel media company — a startup with an audience of over 50 million subscribers.
Held the position of Director of Media Project Development at VK.
Founder of the nice MEH conference and presentation courses at the Storysharing academy.
Frequently speak at events, host them, and teach. Sometimes, even for payment.

CEO
Began my journey in advertising back in 2013 as a junior. Then, I honed my skills in sales and transformed a small department within a large agency into an independent business.
Did some creativity and media planning before transitioning into sales, which gave me insight into where everyone might be wrong.
In the agency business, I’ve won tenders about 20 times and lost even more, but eventually got the point.
Completed 7 marathons, all for the simple pleasure of enjoying a beer afterward.

PR Director
From the very beginning at vinou, I’ve been involved in building processes within the production unit. Now I develop the team, oversee content management, assist the agency in acquiring new clients (and much more). And I also love sharing 26,454 photos of my dog, playing squash, and enjoying New Zealand Sauvignon.
