About us

UPDATE AGENCY is a strategic partner for conscious entrepreneurs. We build coherent brand platforms for sustainable growth and design systems that add value to the business.

AGENCY

UPDATE AGENCY — ‍a Ukrainian strategic marketing and branding agency based in Kyiv. We bring cross-sector experience and our own methodology, and we cover the full set of services that add value to a business.

We founded the agency in 2020, when the market was changing fast after the Covid-19 pandemic. We started with branding and rebranding for Ukrainian companies. Since then, our work has earned recognition for its expertise and delivered strong results across strategic marketing, creative and branding.

Our mission — to make Ukrainian businesses more effective and competitive, and to empower conscious entrepreneurs through coherent strategies, resilient brand platforms and creative support.

‍Our clients — Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Canada, the USA, Cyprus, Azerbaijan and other countries.

We admire Ukrainian businesses and entrepreneurs.
We firmly believe in the country’s potential and want to empower true professionals in their fields — at home and in international markets.

CEO

Anton Beschastnyi — founder of UPDATE AGENCY, a visionary, a creative and a strategist. For more than twenty years he has helped Ukrainian businesses find their true meaning, bring structure to chaos and build resilient brand systems. He launched the agency in 2020 after a personal transformation, with a methodology of his own: an individual approach instead of assembly-line solutions. The agency is built on his personal expertise and hands-on involvement — the basis of a real strategic partnership and of reaching business goals.

We work with companies whose business makes the world better and whose values match ours. We do not take on projects in gambling, alcohol or the meat industry, or anything involving opaque schemes. For us, ethics is not a statement — it is a filter for every request. We stand for conscious, responsible business and for culture in all its forms.

We always offer special terms to cultural initiatives, artists, charitable foundations, the Defence Forces of Ukraine and everyone who defends the country and keeps it resilient. This support is our deliberate choice and an expression of our civic position.

We help Ukrainian companies become brands that compete globally.
Our big goal is for Ukrainian exports to outweigh imports — for Ukraine to export not raw materials, but quality, technology and added value.

We admire Ukrainian businesses and entrepreneurs.
We firmly believe in the country’s potential and want to empower true professionals in their fields — at home and in international markets.
Anton Beschastnyi, founder of UPDATE AGENCY, and Anastasiia Kolesnyk, COO of UPDATE AGENCY

FAQ

Which companies do you work with?
We work with owners and executives who see their brand as a tool for growth, not a formality — from boutique author-led studios and start-ups to companies with more than a hundred employees. Our projects span architecture, agricultural distribution, fashion, IT, healthtech and aerospace. What we share with our clients is not the size of the business but the will to build it consciously.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. Our clients include companies from Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Canada, the USA, Cyprus, Azerbaijan and other countries. We work remotely across time zones, in English and Ukrainian. We also help Ukrainian brands enter international markets: the Promin Aerospace and LUMINIFY cases show how Ukrainian technology gains visibility worldwide.
What experience stands behind the agency?
We founded the agency in 2020, but its methodology rests on the founder’s 20+ years of practice: from graphic design and some of Ukraine’s first large-scale visual identities to leading marketing functions and teams in the corporate sector. Studies at MIM-Kyiv, Deloitte and UNIT.City complete the picture. That is why we speak to business in the language of numbers, and to audiences in the language of images.
Why do you focus on Ukrainian business?
We believe in the potential of Ukrainian entrepreneurs and see how a strong brand helps them compete at home and globally. Our mission is to make Ukrainian businesses more effective and competitive through coherent strategies, resilient brand platforms and creative support. Our approach works just as well for any company that wants a strategic partner rather than a contractor — and we welcome international projects.
How do we start working with UPDATE?
Send us a request or message us on WhatsApp. We will set up an introductory call to hear your request, understand your business and see how we can help. Then we will suggest a format: from focused strategic support to a full branding cycle.
