In Israel, many local companies aspire to reach potential markets in developed countries. One of the most desired markets for advertisers today is the Russian market – a market with great potential and many penetration chances.

Yandex has more than 80 different and diverse services that enable it to create a unique ecosystem, that significantly eases the export process for some of the services to foreign markets.

Advertising in the Yandex platform allows the advertisers to reach thousands of partner websites in the Yandex advertising network, where the exposure potential is of more than 110 million users every month.
