Olga Topchieva, head of events and advertising “Gallery of Novosibirsk”: “Victory in the “people’s prize” – a very important event for us, especially since we surpassed many other shopping and entertainment centres who are older than us. Of course, it is a confirmation of the successful development of the Mall, the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, the demand for our pool of tenants. It was especially nice to receive this award, under the applause of so many people from the hands of the mayor. I have the feeling that everybody voted for us again and again.
We received Federal awards, and, apparently, it did not surprise us, but the “popular prize” will be remembered as one of the most valuable. It is very nice! Thank you to everyone who chose us! And be sure to come to “Gallery Novosibirsk”! You help us become better!”.
Alexander Sysoev, the founder of the company “2GIS”: “WITH whom to compare our city NGS? With whom to compare “2GIS”? I am grateful, of course, thanks to NGS, but it was not a competition. Of all such ceremonies in the city, this was the most colourful and representative – the mayor, the Governor, the Opera house. Overall a well organised event, except for the blurry beginning. From my point of view, the appearance on the stage of the national heroes aroused great interest. That’s great.
The founder of the company “2GIS” was struck by the speech of the winner in the nomination “investor of the year”
Actually I was most shocked by the project, which was presented by the Governor. He said that he chose the “Investor of the year”, the company “Russian Field” Kargatskogo district, despite the fact that there are investors who invest more money. Further, from my point of view, a miracle happened, when she came Konashkov Vladimir, head of the project. I immediately arose Association with the film “Thomas crown affair”. When there is a tour for schoolchildren in the Museum of the Impressionists and tell them: “Here’s a look at a Monet, it marked the beginning of impressionism”. All bored. Tour guide: “Okay, let’s try something else – a picture is worth 100 thousand bucks.” Oh! Here it was the same: a person says something, all bored, and then he continues about how they Barcelona received the prize as the most modern farm in the world. That is a blow! It was the most beautiful, unexpected. In Kargatskogo district is the most modern farm in the world!”.
Julia Ryzhkova, Deputy Director, GK Extreme Fitness: “a Huge thank you to everyone who voted for us! Our company is on guard of beauty and health for over 12 years, and it is very important to feel that we labor not in vain.

Thanks to NGS for creating the first “people’s award” where everyone could become the best.”
In Extreme Fitness are confident that this recognition underlines the company’s image
Alexander Fomintsev, CEO of “Brighter!”: “Amazed that this independent opinion, people can be compared to voting for a ruble or voting with their feet when people come to you. What is unusual is that we began to receive these assessments of businesses. Definitely struck a serious attitude to business, which achieved a high success, focus to breakthrough moments. This PR spin is popularized, it becomes prestigious to be so successful. Perhaps this is new in Russia, because before it was more envy of successful businessmen, and now – the whole gala event at the Opera house with the mayor and the Governor 1200 people, the business elite, Moscow’s leading.
General Director of “Brighter!” notes that attention to the business enhanced: were more likely to receive a similar assessment
Really did not expect. We are a company, you understand, not PR. The owners are humble – that is the corporate culture. It’s the sort of thing: today you are the first on the wave, but the world does not stand still – everything is developing, there is always a more successful business. No one can guarantee tomorrow will be someone stronger than you. But definitely nice. Because we went late to the market. When six years ago it opened the first stores, serious people from the business community twisted at a temple and said, “You will die, you crazy: the whole drank, it is monsters, it is busy, where are you going to get up.” It takes six years – and the people that choose us among the major national chains including”.
