Avito and Sber launch programme to fuel creative entrepreneurs' growth

Avito and Sber have teamed up to support businesses in the creative sector. The new partnership programme aims to help entrepreneurs already active on Avito's platform. Growth in this area has outpaced the national average, with a 10.6% rise in creative professionals over the past year. The programme welcomes a range of participants, from individual entrepreneurs to registered companies. Self-employed professionals listed under Avito's Services category can also take part. This follows a notable increase in creative industry activity on the platform.

Over 62,000 creative entrepreneurs have posted more than 730,000 listings across Avito's goods and services sections. These figures highlight the platform's role in the sector, where one in five creative industry activities now appears.

The most active categories include IT and software development, design, architecture, and engineering. Toy manufacturing, advertising, PR, and film and television-related work have also seen strong engagement. The growth rate for creative entrepreneurs stands at 10.6%, significantly above the 3.9% national average for all business owners. The collaboration between Avito and Sber will provide targeted support to a rapidly expanding group of professionals. With creative industries representing a fifth of the platform's activity, the programme could further boost opportunities for thousands of entrepreneurs. Eligible participants can now access resources tailored to their business needs.
