Working with Vadim and his team on an advertising campaign (focus: Russian-speaking YouTubers) for our PC space simulation game "X4: Foundations" was professional, responsive, and targeted. No fairy tales, but facts and realistic implementations. I am satisfied with the results of the campaign and the probability that we will work with RMAA again in the future is high.

The people who were most interested in buying property were those who came after seeing our advertising. On average, each manager had 3-4 such “hot” clients ready to buy in the near future. I personally completed a transaction on the first day of the event with a client from Yandex. We are very pleased with the results and see great potential in your work.

It was a pure pleasure to work with RMAA from the very beginning because they were always specific and precise, without any double talk. I felt that I was properly taken care of in terms of information and communication. I would like to thank Valeria (auth.
