Global Inspiration: Janet Reports From Her Visit To Kiev, Ukraine.

Janet's recent Europe trip included many historic sites but since Kiev, Ukraine, is now a tech goldmine, she checked out an event company on her vacation as well.

"I originally met Sergey Rodinov during his business trip to the US. I contacted him once I knew my dates in Kiev and he graciously invited us to visit his offices. His global services and work are a trend worth exploring."

Silicon Valley companies like Google and Oracle outsource 100,000 jobs to Kiev, 

Seedstars director of business development Igor Ovcharenko: "We have 100 thousand developers and IT-related people officially working for outsourcing companies in Ukraine but you can easily triple that amount with freelancers and those who are not officially registered."

Janet: "Kiev is one of the hottest markets for tech startups in the world and this industry is global. During our lunch in Los Angeles I was impressed with the quality of the pre-visit renderings his company produced for event clients worldwide. We also talked about local event trends. Imagine my surprise when Sergey shared current themes that his Ukrainian clients want! Mexican Fiestas and American themed parties are top requests.

Since the cost of living in Ukraine is much lower than in the US, the rates and fees adjust. Rockets Events, Sergey's company, offers the graphic design and video services in many languages and he has fluent English speakers on staff. Since Kiev is 10 hours ahead of Los Angeles, they deliver smaller jobs literally overnight. It is a great new resource when your local team is in a crunch."

Sergey: "The majority of my team speak English. But if anyone of my team who is responsible for a specific task doesn’t we will translate all the materials before sending the project to you by the fluent speaking member of our agency.

The work speed and delivery time  of renderings depend on the materials you provide us with.

If you give us a project draft it can take 2-3 days to modify it upon your request/ideas/wishes.

If we have just your verbal ideas and some examples of works it can take a minimum of 5 days.

All these times are approximate because any rendering consists of details and the more we need to create and to add the more time we need to complete the full visualization.

As I wrote to Janet - interested clients can send us a test request which will be completed free of charge. I think it will help international clients evaluate our level of work, learn about the rates and find out if they will be comfortable working with us. Below is an example of a recent 3D rendering."

Sergey: "Global communication is easy these days. To get started you provide us with your brief, your technical request and ideas which we study. If necessary we can video conference to discuss. Communication can be online with myself or the project manager via WhatsApp/Viber/Telegram/Facebook/Email or in any way the client wishes.

We deliver materials through DropBox and clients have an opportunity to make comments and to observe the process.

We offer to deliver it through DropBox so the quality will not to be lost.

And about those American and Mexican Parties: these themed parties one of the most popular in our country. Most of the people here in Ukraine dream of visiting these countries. To attend the themed party is a chance to immerse oneself in the American Spirit and to feel the exotic atmosphere of Mexican."

Janet: "The atmosphere in Kiev was infectious. It is a young, enterprising, creative and hard working city. Please call me if you'd like to learn more. I will be happy to put you in touch with Sergey."
