Artifact Agency
Market entry into CIS & Central Asia for foreign B2B brands. Based in Almaty.
Artifact is a market-entry agency in Almaty, Kazakhstan. We work with foreign manufacturers, equipment suppliers and brands that want to sell in the CIS and Central Asia but have no local team yet. The engagement starts with a one-month Pilot: demand and competitor analysis, a distributor map by country, local positioning, a localised landing page with SEO, one or two B2B channels set up and run, photo and video content, first distributor outreach, and an honest go/no-go read on the market. From month two, the Growth phase adds active business development, an ongoing content programme, warm-up of B2B contacts and a reported pipeline of warm distributor contacts handed to the client's own team. We don't sell or hold the client's product. We connect the brand with the partners who will: distributors and brand representatives. The digital assets built during the work stay with the client. Five specialist teams cover the work under one contract: strategy, production, channels and traffic, client-facing (translation and inquiry handling in the buyer's language), and management. Working languages are English and Russian. We work with companies only, not individual consumers, and we turn down gambling, weapons, drugs, fur and leather regardless of budget. 5 people in their team

Description A one-month Pilot that answers one question: is there real demand for your product in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan or the wider CIS? We size the demand, map the competitors already selling there, build a distributor map by country, test local positioning, and hand you an honest go/no-go read with the sources behind it. We are based in Almaty and do the checks on the ground: calls to distributors, meetings, trade-fair exhibitor lists. Everything built during the month stays with you, whether you enter the market or not. Pilot month: $5,000.
Learn more about Market ResearchDescription Industrial and product photography shot on site in Kazakhstan: production lines, people at work, finished goods, installations at a client's facility. The images go into the local landing page, distributor presentations, catalogues and social channels, so a buyer in Almaty or Tashkent sees the plant rather than a stock photo. Shot and delivered locally, without a crew flying in.Work in Photography (1) Client in Photography (1) ikerIndustrial Goods & Services | national
Learn more about PhotographyDescription Social channels run in Russian and Kazakh, written for a B2B reader rather than a consumer feed. We handle strategy, filming, editing and publishing across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and we answer incoming enquiries in the buyer's language so a distributor never waits on a translation. For a furniture manufacturer in Almaty this produced over 1.2 million targeted views and a list of 100 warm B2B contacts, including construction companies.Work in Social Media (1) Client in Social Media (1) ikerIndustrial Goods & Services | national
Learn more about Social MediaDescription A CIS distributor checks whether a foreign brand is serious before answering an email. Content is how that check is passed: Russian-language material that explains the product, the specifications and the service behind it, written for engineers and buyers rather than for a marketing audience. We plan the calendar, produce the articles, photo and video, and publish on the channels the buyer already reads. We run the same discipline on our own journal, where every figure is traced to its source before it is published.Work in Content Strategy (1) Client in Content Strategy (1) ikerIndustrial Goods & Services | national
Learn more about Content StrategyDescription Search in this region is split between Google and Yandex, and the queries that matter are in Russian. We build the localised pages a buyer actually searches for, structure them so both engines and AI assistants can read them, and handle the technical side: schema markup, sitemaps, IndexNow, Search Console and Yandex.Webmaster. Our own site runs on exactly this setup, which is how a foreign brand ends up findable in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan before its first trade fair.
Learn more about SEODescription Before you ship a pallet or book a stand at a trade fair, your buyers should be able to find you in their own language. We build the local digital presence a CIS distributor expects: a Russian-language landing page with SEO, the one or two B2B channels that actually work in this region, and a content programme that keeps the brand visible between deals. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Telegram carry B2B attention here far more than LinkedIn does. Everything we build is handed over to you.Work in Digital Strategy (1) Client in Digital Strategy (1) ikerIndustrial Goods & Services | national
Learn more about Digital StrategyDescription Filming in Kazakhstan without flying a crew in. Corporate films about a plant, its people and what it can actually make; product and application video for distributors to use in their own sales; podcast episodes and short vertical formats for social. We shoot on site, write the script, and deliver in Russian and English. Recent work includes a corporate film for Peschansky Repair-Mechanical Plant and an ongoing video programme for a furniture manufacturer in Almaty.Works in Video Production (2) Clients in Video Production (2) Peschansky Repair-Mechanical PlantIndustrial Goods & Services | nationalikerIndustrial Goods & Services | national
