Vladyslav Bendasyuk
CEO & Founder
Charismatic, youthful, and highly motivated—this is how Vlad’s mom would describe him.
Vlad approaches tasks with a structured mindset, aiming for sustainable, long-term success rather than just immediate results. He has a natural talent for strategic thinking and long-term planning. Vlad focuses on the "big picture," setting ambitious goals and then breaking them down into incremental steps to achieve them.
In late 2024, Vlad founded Avansta after years of working on the business idea. His motivation for starting the company stemmed from witnessing the alarming decline in the quality of digital marketing products and services following the pandemic. Vlad's vision for the company is simple: to help businesses push the boundaries of what's possible for their online presence. This dream has been years in the making, and he aims to establish Avansta as Canada’s leading web design and digital marketing agency, offering comprehensive products and services.

Brands Vlad Has Worked With
Here are some brands Vlad has worked with over the years to help grow their online presence.





Experience
Vlad brings a wealth of hands-on experience to his work, with a standout portfolio featuring collaborations with Federated Co-operatives Limited, the Saskatchewan Automobile Dealers Association (SADA), and the Saskatchewan Oil & Gas Show. His campaigns have even attracted high-profile leads, including the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Before starting Avansta, Vlad served as an independent digital marketing contractor, helping numerous Canadian start-ups. He provided comprehensive digital marketing strategies, established operational procedures, conducted campaigns, and led various teams to lay solid foundations and enhance the online presence of these start-ups.
Vlad also worked as a digital marketing consultant and educator for Blue Moose Media, Saskatchewan’s award-winning digital marketing company. He educated over 200 business owners and decision-makers on topics such as social media marketing, digital advertising, and search engine marketing. His efforts on various projects opened new digital marketing opportunities and optimized existing channels, including Google Ads, SEO, blog content marketing, social media marketing, and advertising.
Additionally, Vlad was the Project Lead for Go Digital Sask, a program designed to assist small to medium-sized businesses in improving their online presence. He played a key role in growing the organization from a team of 3 to 12, overseeing 150 client projects that ranged from website design to social media marketing, search engine marketing, branding, logo design, and other digital marketing services. Before leaving the organization, he helped expand the program's reach across the province while establishing operational procedures for all services.
Interests & Lifestyle
At Avansta, we value work-life balance. After all, what's the point of enjoying the simple things in life if you spend all your time working?
Movie Enthusiast
Vlad maintains an extensive list of reviews for every movie he watches and loves writing scripts for his own films. If you ask to see his movie watch list, be prepared for a long conversation—he could talk for hours.
Mario Kart Champion
Having grown up on video games, Vlad views them as an art form. He owns more video games than he can count, across all consoles, and confidently claims he can beat anyone at Mario Kart.
Fitness Fanatic
Vlad is passionate about fitness and enjoys going to the gym. He also engages in activities like longboarding, yoga, and kayaking. In addition, he loves helping other people on their health and fitness journeys.
Work-Life Balance
One of the reasons Vlad founded Avansta with a focus on work-life balance is his love for spending time with his girlfriend and their cat, Sniffles. Quality time with loved ones is a priority for him.
Collector of Shoes & Lego
Vlad has an impressive shoe collection, adding 13 new pairs just this year. He admits this may have been a result of a quarter-life crisis. He's also expanding his Lego and alcohol collections.
Music Lover
Vlad listens to a wide range of music genres and often has his AirPods in throughout the day. He particularly enjoys indie, pop, and soundtracks, as well as podcasts.
