Company's Evolution

Founded by Bogdan Dubylovskyi and Roman Melnyk in 2010, Wikibusines emerged as a leading player in the native advertising and PR space. The founders, Bogdan with his political expertise and Roman's acumen in urban planning and digital marketing, recognized the potential of paid Wikipedia editing. This foresight paved the way for their leadership in the industry.

The company’s trajectory saw them innovate in the paid editing space, expand into the CIS market by 2013, and further tap into European and North American territories by 2017. 2018 marked the introduction of new offerings, including SERM and political marketing. Private investments in 2019 powered them to bolster their sales, R&D, and global outreach.

In honor of its 9th year, 2021 saw a rebranding, leading to the name "Wikibusines". This name change signaled a leaner approach, as reflected in their revamped logo. By 2022, they expanded services to platforms like Reddit, Quora, and LinkedIn.

Services

Wikibusines' expertise lies in creating and managing Wikipedia articles. Their editorial team ensures compliance with Wikipedia's rigorous standards. Not only do they draft articles, but they also incorporate backlinks to enhance clients' SEO standing.

Their commitment extends beyond creation. They offer continuous support, ensuring articles remain updated, accurate, and adhere to Wikipedia's rules. They are adept at handling intricate scenarios, such as editing conflicts and misinformation.

Philanthropic Initiatives

In 2020, the firm established the "Ukrainian Wikipedia" organization and introduced "Wikipatrol" on Patreon, focusing on combating Russian propaganda. This initiative led to collaborations with military and SBU personnel to counter Russian misinformation.

2021 was marked by the release of "Zvyzdobolid", a book anthology celebrating Ukrainian modern futurism. Roman Melnyk, in September 2022, spoke at the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium in Berlin discussing their anti-propaganda efforts. On the home front, Wikibusines has been actively supporting the Ukrainian military through various initiatives, like donating vehicles and satellite internet facilities.
