I was hired via large HR agency to the St.Petersburg branch of AlphaGraphics Russia. At the beginning I spent 2 months in HQ in Moscow where I was trained sales and operations standards of AG. In St.Petersburg my clients were big international companies and local advertisement agencies.Due to my efforts AG started to adopt print brokerage deals. I arranged and completely realised the first order of this sort. It was order for printing of commercial magazine "Food Russia". Previously it was printed in Finland, but I affirmed the magazine's owner to print it in AG and then arranged all stages of production: buying paper, contract with printing house and logistic to other cities. Everything was made by myself from scratch as AG at the moment had no experience in commercial printing. It specialised only in business cards, envelopes, digital printing etc.
