= About Setka =

Setka’s innovative content management tools were born, tested, and refined at a leading digital media company in Russia, Look At Media, whose web publications boast more than 7 million unique monthly visitors. Our tools include Setka Workflow, Setka Editor and Setka Stream.

Look At Media was founded in 2006 by Alexey Amotov, Vasily Esmanov, Katya Bazilevskaya, Anton Gladkoborodov, and Kirill Ten. It maintains the sites The Village, Look At Me, Wonderzine, and the US-based Hopes&Fears. The company has won over 65 international advertising awards, including Cannes Lions, One Show, New York Festivals, and D&AD.

In 2014 Setka spun off from Look At Media and became an independent software company focused on building state-of-the-art tools that make content creation easy, beautiful, and accessible to everyone.

In the past two years, more than 300 brands and 100 editors have used Setka’s publishing products to create award-winning content and advertising experiences including giants like Conde Nast.

In 2016 we decided to take Setka global and launch one of our first products — Setka Editor plugin for WordPress. This was announced last December at WordCamp US in Philadelphia where Setka was a sponsor.
