Our story

Built by operators who have run media, not only advised on it.

ViSTARS Agency is led by Victoria Starts. She spent more than a decade in enterprise IT and business consulting, including years at EPAM Systems, where she rose from Account Manager to Director, Client Partner on Fortune 500 and major advertiser accounts, managing a portfolio of more than $30 million a year across managed services, consulting, and media.

Before EPAM, she built her career in New York media agencies, starting as an ad operations manager. She has run campaigns from the trafficking desk up, which is why our engagements start with how media is actually bought, not how it is reported.

With Yana Conrad's Big 4 audit background, financial rigor is part of every engagement. Our strongest fit is consumer and retail, luxury and lifestyle, and professional services.

Daria leads ad operations and DevOps for ViSTARS Agency and works alongside Don Enikeev on the technical side of every media engagement. She owns trafficking, tagging, and quality assurance across programmatic and CTV, and manages the integrations that connect our DSP to supply and demand partners. When delivery numbers disagree between platforms, Daria traces the discrepancy to its source, whether a pixel, an endpoint, or traffic quality, and resolves it before it reaches a client report.
