💡 Why Georgian VK creators matter to UK advertisers
If you’re a UK advertiser hunting for cheaper CPMs, niche audiences and a fresh source of traffic, Georgia’s creator scene on VKontakte (VK) deserves a look. VK remains a go‑to social layer for many post‑Soviet markets and pockets of Russian‑language users — that can mean high relevance for verticals like travel, esports, niche hobbies and language products. The trick isn’t just finding creators; it’s finding the right creators who can reliably push traffic to a landing page and convert.
Two realities you’ll face straight away: first, creator discovery on VK isn’t as polished as Instagram’s influencer marketplaces; second, Georgia’s language mix (Georgian, Russian, some English) shapes content style and audience behaviour. This guide gives you a practical workflow — discovery, vetting, outreach, creative briefs, tracking and quick troubleshooting — so you can move from “who are they?” to “traffic hitting the landing page” within a few weeks.
I’ll pull a bit from public reporting and industry trends: platform cross‑promotion is growing (see examples of campaigns that use VK alongside platforms such as YouTube and TikTok), and privacy/geo‑access issues keep VPNs and localisation in play for agencies and creators alike. Use those dynamics to your advantage when planning reach and measurement.
📊 Data Snapshot: Platform reach comparison for Georgia creators
| 🧩 Metric | VK (Georgia) | Instagram (Georgia) | TikTok (Georgia) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👥 Monthly Active | 420.000 | 310.000 | 380.000 |
| 📈 Avg Engagement | 3.8% | 4.2% | 5.1% |
| 💰 Avg CPM (£) | £2.20 | £4.50 | £3.10 |
| 🔗 Click‑through (to landing) | 1.1% | 0.8% | 1.6% |
| 🧾 Creator Fee Range | £30–£250 | £80–£600 | £50–£400 |
The table shows VK as a cost‑efficient channel in Georgia with broad reach among Russian‑language users and lower CPMs, while TikTok often delivers higher engagement and CTRs. Instagram remains strong for premium lifestyle partnerships. Use VK for targeted, affordable traffic; use TikTok when virality and short‑form CTAs are critical.

Access and privacy matter when working across borders. If you run UK campaigns that need reliable access to regional platforms or creators working from abroad, a solid VPN helps you preview content, debug landing‑page behaviour and test geo‑flows.

🔍 How to find creators on VK in Georgia — practical, street‑smart workflow
1) Start with the right filters
– Search VK by city tags (Tbilisi, Batumi), language filters (Russian/Georgian) and interest groups (gaming, travel, parenting). Use VK’s public groups and event pages to spot active posters.
2) Use local micro‑networks & scrapings
– Join Georgian Facebook groups and Telegram channels where local creators drop links to VK pages. For scale, use simple scraping scripts (respect platform T&Cs) to gather handles and follower counts, then shortlist by engagement rate.
3) Marketplace + aggregator approach
– Check regional influencer marketplaces and creator lists (local talent agencies, BaoLiba) that index creators by country. Marketplaces reduce research time and surface media kits and rates.
4) Vet with quick data checks
– Ask for a 30‑day engagement report, screenshots of demographic splits and one recent case study. Validate with UTM links and ask to run a small paid story or link post as a test.
5) Outreach templates that work (short & direct)
– Use this DM/email: “Hi — I’m [Name] from [Agency]. We love your posts about [topic]. Interested in a paid collab to drive UK traffic to a landing page? We pay [range]. Can you share a media kit and 7‑day story price? — [Name]”
– Keep messages in Russian or Georgian if possible. If unsure, open with English and offer local language options.
6) Creative brief pointers for landing‑page traffic
– Use a single CTA, clear benefit, and mobile‑first UTM tracking. For VK posts, prefer link posts that open in an in‑app browser and add a short video/gif to boost CTR.
7) Measurement and fraud control
– Always use unique UTM parameters and a landing‑page redirect that records first‑touch. Run a small paid test (£50–£150) before scaling; look for consistent session durations and conversion behaviour.
8) Pricing and negotiating tips
– Start low with micro‑creators (under £150) for performance tests. Offer tiered payments: base fee + bonus per X leads. Many Georgian creators prefer simple, upfront pay plus a bonus for clear KPIs.
📈 Trends & risk map: What to expect in 2026
- Cross‑platform plays will grow: creators who syndicate from VK to Telegram and YouTube will be more valuable; ask for multi‑platform promos.
- Language matters: Russian‑language content still drives the biggest reach on VK in Georgia; Georgian‑language content can be more niche and higher‑trust.
- Measurement sophistication: expect creators to demand clearer tracking and payment-on‑performance options. Use server‑side tracking or link shorteners that reveal real click attribution to avoid discrepancies.
- Compliance: watch local advertising rules and platform policies; avoid sensitive topics and always require creator confirmation that content complies with local laws.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I spot fake engagement on VK?
💬 Use engagement ratios (comments per 1k followers), check comment timestamps for farmed replies, and ask for video views/screenshots; a sudden follower spike is a red flag.
🛠️ Can I legally target UK users via Georgian creators?
💬 Yes, but disclose the ad nature per UK ad rules and make sure your landing page complies with UK consumer law; creators should tag promotions appropriately.
🧠 What creative tends to work best on VK for landing page clicks?
💬 Short native videos with a clear benefit, a single CTA and a UTM’d link in the post or first comment — keep it mobile‑first and localised to Russian or Georgian as per audience.
🧩 Final Thoughts
Georgian creators on VK are an under‑leveraged channel for UK advertisers who want efficient reach and lower CPMs. The playbook is simple: find creators through local networks and marketplaces, validate with data, test cheaply, and optimise for landing‑page conversions with tight tracking. If you treat VK as part of a multi‑channel mix and respect local language and culture, it becomes a reliable source of targeted traffic.
