Who are the founders and co-founders of the company?

Leila Salieva is a seasoned marketing veteran who has significantly contributed to the success of numerous blockchain projects, from DAOs and startups to established protocols. Her career began in the fashion industry, where she pioneered digital marketing and PR. Over time, she became a top-level strategist, guiding Fortune 500 companies in marketing their products and services globally. In 2017, she became an early adopter of web3 and joined Xsolla’s team in 2021 to be a part of X.LA, a web3 division that builds bridges between web2 and web3. She led the marketing efforts for Xsolla Metasites, a product that combines 3D environments, AI, gaming fintech, and web3.

In 2023, Mrs. Salieva was elected as one of the Special Council members for the Horizen Ecosystem, and in 2024, she was one of the Apecoin DAO Special Council candidates.

A complete journey about the company? When you have started, how and where?

The agency was launched in April 2024 in Dubai by Leila Salieva and a group of marketing professionals she knew. Composed of industry experts, the Sombrero Galaxy Agency team provides a full range of specialists. The agency has all the resources you need, from a team of schillers and community managers to illustrators and PR managers.

Quote from Leila:

“When I entered the Web3 space, I was amazed at how many projects needed help with marketing strategies and old-fashioned creative ad campaigns. So the recipe was my experience, plus a creatively experienced team, adding an AI twist, and Sombrero Galaxy started to shine as it was supposed to. By the way, the actual Sombrero Galaxy is considered one of the most unusual in space.”

The journey of founder and co-founders?

Leila Salieva grew up in a small town where she realized that foreign languages and computer science would be crucial for my future. I started focusing on studying English and coding at the age of 10. Despite facing financial constraints, she was determined and received several scholarships and grants, including the Future Leader Exchange program by the U.S. Department of State.

Since she was young, Ms. Salieva has dreamed of working in advertising and believed that marketing was a superpower she wanted to possess. She pursued a degree in business administration in Helsinki, Finland, majoring in marketing and international strategies. Unknowingly, a course titled “Doing Business and Working in the Arab Countries” in 2010 laid the foundation for her marketing agency in Dubai 15 years later.

Her most recent academic achievement was obtaining a specialization in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from Harvard Business School.

Her career has been diverse and colorful, spanning six industries and various roles. Ms. Salieva went from being an event coordinator for the Olympics to serving as the PR director of one of the first online fashion aggregators and from working on the branding of mass-market chocolate to building metaverses.

Over time, she evolved into a top-level strategist, advising Fortune 500 companies on the global marketing of their products and services. In 2017, she became an early adopter of Web3 and, after 4 years, was hired to help build a Web3 division for a fintech giant, bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3. Later, Leila led the marketing efforts for metaverse development. In 2023, Ms. Salieva was elected as one of the Special Council members for the Horizen Ecosystem, and after 8 months, she became one of the Apecoin DAO Special Council candidates.

Finally, at the beginning of 2024, she co-founded Sombrero Galaxy Agency.
