Values:
ITForce was founded in 2015 in Kharkiv.
From the start, we focused on performance marketing and online business promotion: SEO, pay-per-click advertising, SMM, and other digital tools. In the early years, the team worked with clients from Ukraine and English-speaking markets.
Right from the beginning, our goal has remained unchanged: not just to drive traffic, but to help businesses achieve real results.
In its second year of operation, ITForce began actively expanding its expertise within the Google ecosystem.
The team completed Google Rising Stars, an international development program for agencies with high growth potential. That same year, we participated in professional Google events: Google ThinkMobile and Google Partners CEE Agency Day in Athens.
This was an important milestone: the team gained access to new digital tools, exchanged experience with international specialists, and deepened its expertise in performance marketing.
In 2017, ITForce earned Google Premier Partner status.
Since then, the company has continuously confirmed its compliance with the Google Partners program requirements every year. Maintaining this status year after year has become one of ITForce’s key professional achievements and proof of the team’s consistent expertise in managing Google Ads.
That same year, the team continued participating in international Google Partners CEE Agency Days, including the one in Prague. In October, ITForce sponsored the Ukrainian Digital Conference in Kharkiv, operating its own booth.
In July, an ITForce specialist presented at the PPC Day conference by WebPromoExperts with a report on specific rules in Google Ads Editor.
ITForce completed Google Partner Elevator — a leadership development program for selected digital agencies demonstrating high performance for their clients. The final conference of the program took place in 2019 in Warsaw.
That same year, Maksym Yevsiukov, co-founder and CMO of ITForce, joined the official Google Product Experts program.
In April 2018, ITForce partnered with Google and the European Business Association for the “Internet Opportunities for Business” event in Kharkiv. Our specialists ran a dedicated consultation area, answering entrepreneurs’ questions about online business promotion.
Team representatives presented at industry conferences, including the Ukrainian Digital Conference, covering effective PPC strategies for small businesses. We gradually built a culture where expertise means not only working on client projects, but also sharing experience with the professional community.
2019 was a milestone year for ITForce’s professional growth.
The team participated in the Google Partners CEE Elevator Summit in Warsaw, Google Partners Kyiv, Guru Conference, Dnipro Marketing Conference, 8P Conference, and other industry events.
ITForce specialists delivered presentations at key industry platforms: in August at the CPC Real Talk #9 meetup on search ad features, and in December at PPC Day by WebPromoExperts featuring a practical case study on reducing CPO for an e-commerce store.
ITForce also contributed to the growth of Kharkiv’s IT community. Partnering with the Kharkiv IT Cluster, the team took part in Kids2IT — an educational initiative introducing children and youth to IT and digital professions.
By this stage, ITForce successfully combined client practice, international expertise, professional partnerships, and active engagement with the local IT community.
In 2020, ITForce entered the Top SEO Companies in Ukraine ranking by SuperbCompanies, securing 9th place among the featured Ukrainian SEO agencies. This became one of the first prominent external validations of our SEO expertise in an independent professional rating. Since then, ITForce has maintained an annual presence in SuperbCompanies rankings.
That same year, Tetiana Tomenko achieved the status of Google Partners Digital Champion in Smart Bidding — a Google program recognizing specialists who demonstrate top-tier mastery in specific Google Ads areas.
In 2020, ITForce also became a Google Cloud Partner, further expanding its partner ecosystem.
In 2021, Nelli Khliapova achieved the status of Google Partners Digital Champion in Performance Excellence and Retail. Having ITForce specialists selected for the Digital Champions program two years in a row confirmed that the company’s expertise relies on a strong team rather than an individual.
In May 2021, Google Ukraine invited ITForce to a virtual roundtable titled “The Economy of Ukraine under COVID-19 Pandemic Conditions,” where market research results commissioned by Google were presented.
Concurrently, ITForce continued to scale its performance marketing direction and work with large-scale e-commerce projects, deepening its focus on Google Merchant Center, Shopping campaigns, and end-to-end analytics.
On February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian digital market changed forever.
ITForce remained a Kharkiv agency, but the operating format shifted: the team fully transitioned to remote work and restructured its processes accordingly. Selected client projects resumed already in the spring of 2022 following forced pauses, and in September, we opened a small office in Kyiv.
The experience of ITForce during the full-scale war was highlighted by the Kharkiv IT Cluster in the article “ITForce: Creative Resistance of the Kharkiv Agency“.
In February of the same year, Google completely restructured the Google Partners program with significantly stricter requirements—all partners had to re-qualify, and not everyone passed. ITForce confirmed its Premier Partner status.
In 2023, ITForce continued working with Ukrainian and international clients, strengthening its focus on SEO, PPC, and other performance marketing directions.
The team participated in iForum 2023 — one of the largest Ukrainian conferences on technology, business, and digital.
Concurrently, ITForce expanded its expertise and managed large-scale SEO projects for e-commerce and B2B sectors.
2024 became one of the most event-filled years in ITForce’s modern history in terms of professional recognitions.

In September 2025, the ITForce team visited Seoul at the invitation of a client. Our client — an e-commerce store for aesthetic medicine products with whom we have partnered for over three years — organized a business trip to meet in person for the first time. Four specialists from project management, SEO, and PPC worked from the client’s office, synchronized strategy, and immersed themselves in the specifics of the Korean market. Today, we manage two websites for this client.

During this time, we have:
Yet, ITForce’s greatest achievement isn’t our award count.
Our greatest achievement is the long-term trust of our clients and the real growth we help their businesses achieve.
We don’t just push websites to the top—we also know how to unwind: team parties, team-building events, and casual hangouts with like-minded colleagues happen regularly in our office.
