I’m Nik, a creative leader and filmmaker with a 15 years marketing background who turned ideas into 150M+ views projects back in Russia, leading teams and launching my own content studio with original formats.
Now in NYC with an O-1 talent visa, I’m excited to team up with local creators and brands.
Got a story to tell? I’d love to help!
