Dmytro Bushmakin, Marketing Director of the Ukrainian development company Budhouse Group, has joined the jury team of the prestigious European SOLAL Marketing Awards 2026.
The SOLAL Marketing Awards are considered one of the most prestigious marketing awards among developers worldwide. The competition recognizes the best marketing campaigns for shopping malls, recognizing innovation, excellence and effective marketing results.
"It is a great honor for me. There is a lot of work ahead. And most importantly, interesting work. I am convinced that this will be an extremely valuable and exciting experience. I would like to express special gratitude to the award team for their trust," said Dmytro Bushmakin.
The marketing director of Budhouse Group also appealed to Ukrainian colleagues to submit their applications for participation in the competition. According to Bushmakin, the new marketing award of the Ukrainian Council of Shopping Centers — UCSC MRKTNG AWARDS — demonstrated that Ukrainian shopping centers have extremely interesting cases worthy of presentation at the world level.
