 I have deep interest and experience in Marketing, social media  marketing, brand  strategy,  snowboarding, skateboarding, team management. 
Through my interests, experience and knowledge for the past 15 years, I managed to build brands from scratch and to turn them from local to global brands in arias where extreme industry is poorly developed. 

In 2002 I created Ninja Squad which is a soul driven brand that turned from a local Bulgarian only name to a well known among the snowboarding industry name. Currently known as NS Distribution the company distributes the biggest European Magazine - Method Mag to over 30 countries across Europe, North America and Asia. Stinky Socks is also part of the NS Distribution portfolio.  

 At 2011 I started Stinky Socks which now is one of the few well know socks only brands in snowboarding/skateboarding. For less than five years I managed to build a strong brand with roots in snowboarding and skateboarding, that is represented now in more than 20 countries around the world.

I've been also producing award winning full length documentary movies with the company that I co-founded - KAMAK FILMS. 

KAMAK FILMS is an action sports and documentary award wining production company with three full length documentaries and 200+ online video edits and series for sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, motocross, downhill bike and more. KAMAK FILMS is more than production company, we do create a new generation of video content. Content that engage the consumer with various of marketing tools both offline and online and create a long lasing impression that will keep your brand's efforts in spotlight.
