Digital infrastructure of Chukotka

The region's investment portal, the department website, procedure navigation and an advertising campaign. The portal was taken over at mock-up stage and carried through to public launch.

Scope of work

  • Investment portal: taken over at mock-up stage and carried through to public launch, coordinating development together with the head of the department. Runs in three languages.
  • Website of the Department of Economy and Investment: everything except the code - structure, content, UX/UI mock-ups in Figma, specs for the developers.
  • Thirteen procedures for an investor dealing with public authorities, turned from legal text into clear flow charts with the deadline of every step.
  • Targeted email campaigns on behalf of the governor, using verified Forbes and RBC-500 lists.
  • Monthly analytics dashboards covering four or more of the region's digital resources.
  • Regional marketing strategy: the 2025 plan was delivered in full.

Advertising campaign

The campaign was designed: media plan, channel economics and creatives. The email channel ran (36% open rate), the other channels are ready to book - what follows is a media plan and a model, not a report on placements. Part of the marketing strategy of Chukotka. The task: attract private investors into priority industries - hospitality and subsoil use - and drive traffic to the investment portal. Every channel was designed around a measurable result: reach, cost per thousand contacts, response rate and cost per lead. Digital touchpoints carry UTM tags, so the path from impression to application is visible end to end.

Outdoor advertising

Trucks with LED screens along Moscow's ring roads and business districts at rush hour. A five-slide reel with the region's key figures and a QR code to the portal.

OTS · CPM

Direct mail

Premium personal packs for decision makers from a verified list: a governor's letter with gold foil, a brochure, a sticker pack and a QR card.

Response rate · CPL

Banners with UTM

Display banners on investment and industry platforms. Every link is tagged, so a click can be traced through to an application.

End-to-end analytics

Business media

News hooks and publications in business media and on subsoil-use industry portals. The package is prepared for each investment season.

PR

Whitepaper and decks

Investment decks for four industries in Russian and English; a whitepaper as a lead magnet. One style, following the regional brand book.

Content marketing

Procedures visualised

Thirteen investor procedures plus public-private partnership and concession schemes.

Outdoor media plan: LED trucks

Promoting the region's investment potential with digital trucks along the ring roads and business districts, at rush hour when traffic crawls and exposure peaks. Move the budget:

RUB 300,000
Formulas
  • Hours = Budget ÷ RUB 20,000 per hour
  • Trucks = 2 if the budget is at least RUB 600,000, otherwise 1
  • Days = Hours ÷ (4 hours a day × Trucks)
  • Reach (OTS) = Hours × 7,000 contacts per hour
  • Unique reach = OTS ÷ frequency of 1.8
  • CPM = Budget ÷ OTS × 1000

Why this matters: outdoor advertising is judged by reach and cost per thousand contacts. That shows what every rouble bought, rather than just how much was spent.

Interactive model

Direct mail model

An image mailing on behalf of the governor: a kraft envelope, a letter on designer paper with gold foil, a sixteen-page brochure, information sheets, a sticker pack and a QR card. Move the print run:

100 packs
Formulas
  • Variable cost = Run × RUB 6,583 per pack
  • Total = Variable cost + RUB 9,375 for the foil die, one-off
  • Delivered = Run × 80-90%
  • Leads = Read × response rate (12-28%)
  • CPL = Total ÷ Leads

Cost per lead (CPL)

Why this matters: a premium physical object sent by a public official cuts through digital noise and reaches the decision maker directly. The economics are measured by response rate and cost per lead, not by print run.

A procedure as a chart

Regulatory procedures are hard to read. I turned thirteen of them into flow charts: the investor sees the route, the deadline of every stage and the decision point. Here is a public-private partnership project initiated privately.

01Proposalprivate initiative
02Efficiency assessmentup to 90 days
03Decision to proceedup to 30 days
04Competing applicationsyes - tender, no - direct agreement
05Agreementup to 30 days

Why this matters: a clear chart removes the main barrier to entry, which is fear of the procedure. The investor sees the whole path and its deadlines instead of scattered clauses.
