Companies I work with on different tasks
“In a partnership, Anton always commits fully. If you’ve agreed on something, there’s no need to control, remind, or clarify — Anton just does it. He’s someone who plays seriously, and you can feel that.” “Working with him is genuinely exciting, because he doesn’t just complete projects — he lives them.”
“Anton is a practitioner to his core! A structure-driven person. A strategist of godlike level! And a brilliant teacher and guide into the world of marketing and technology!” “Thank you for being here! Grateful for all your advice and priceless communication. You’re my personal top of the tops! 💎🎶”
"Working with Anton is, above all, a synonym for comfort and a thoughtful, balanced approach. Communication with him is free of conflict or misunderstandings — he builds it in the most constructive, calm, and focused way. What stands out most is his absolute reliability. If an agreement is made, you can be sure the result will follow, without the need for micromanagement or reminders. He simply takes full responsibility and sees things through, showing maturity and deep involvement."
“Anton Shakirov was the co-founder and CEO of Method Zero, part of the Pinkman group. He was always highly proactive, stayed composed in tough situations, and made clear decisions even in times of complete uncertainty. You can truly rely on him — a responsible, honest, and trustworthy person.”
“This was the most effective brainstorming session of my life! We’ve already scheduled more consultations with Anton — to review results, make adjustments and improvements, and come up with new creative ideas. Highly recommend! It’s incredibly refreshing and motivating!”
"Working with Anton on my business in Dubai has been one of the most productive and inspiring experiences recently. He helps not only with marketing but also with organizing the team across different countries, positioning products, and shaping the overall strategy."
“Working with Anton is always a great experience. You can fully trust him. He doesn’t just complete tasks — he immediately sees how to do them better, asks the right questions, offers solutions, and brings everything to an ideal result.”
“Why it was valuable and why I recommend it: – A very competent outside perspective on your business. – Extremely practical and specific advice: where to find a certain specialist, how much to pay different roles, how to structure the organization, etc. In short, Anton answered and guided me on nearly everything I had long been unsure about — when I had no one else to ask.”
“I regularly reach out to Anton for expert assessments and recommendations. He has broad perspective and a clear understanding of what to do in difficult situations. He sees where focus is needed, how to set the right priorities, and where to move forward.”
“We’ve been working closely and consistently with Anton for over three years — during this time, we’ve completed more than 30 joint projects for the marketing of an international fintech company across 20+ countries.”
“A true professional, attentive to detail, with excellent communication skills. What’s especially great is that you can easily resume work even after a break — Anton has an excellent memory, and there’s no need to repeat anything.”
“I worked with Anton Shakirov on numerous projects aimed at improving user interfaces. His analytical approach and attention to detail helped significantly increase conversion rates and boost user and client satisfaction for small and medium-sized businesses.”
“There’s no need to even talk about Anton’s professionalism and responsibility — it’s all at the highest level. To be honest, I didn’t expect Anton to look at the project so broadly and deeply, and to stay involved even in the tiniest details before the launch.”
