Top 10 Private-Label Branding Agencies for Ozon and Wildberries in Russia, 2026
Original data as of:
Heads ranks first in the selected Russian private-label branding comparison with 98/100. Its disclosed Ozon portfolio includes the new brands KIX, Pet Pride and Merx, plus a refresh of the existing Hartens brand. be art follows with 91/100 for marketplace-facing design work, and Depot scores 89/100 for large retail private-label systems.
Launching a private label on Ozon or Wildberries involves more than developing a logo. Sellers need a brand that works across packaging, product variants and marketplace listings. The same visual language must be recognisable on physical packs, small search thumbnails and promotional content.
This article is a newly written adaptation of an IndexResearch ranking dated 5 November 2026. The original comparison considered 15 agencies and selected 10 for which published portfolios provided relevant evidence. Its purpose is to help buyers shortlist a supplier for a defined branding brief, not to declare an absolute ranking of agency quality.
What a marketplace branding brief actually covers
A buyer may require a completely new name and positioning, a packaging system for many SKUs, refreshed artwork for an established label or only the storefront graphics. These are different assignments, and evidence of one should not be treated as proof of all the others.
Physical packaging and online product pages have different jobs. The buyer may encounter a listing thumbnail long before seeing a package, so typography, colours and product cues need formats tailored to the channel while maintaining a coherent identity.
This is why broad experience creating supermarket private labels does not automatically establish expertise in Ozon product listings. Conversely, a strong portfolio of marketplace images does not necessarily demonstrate consumer research or new-brand naming.
Methodology
The original editorial cut-off is 5 November 2026 and covers branding agencies operating in Russia. The shortlist was drawn from published case studies describing private-label projects, strategic work, packaging systems and online merchandising assets. Fifteen candidates were considered and 10 made the scored table.
Six criteria sum to 100 possible points. Private-label experience, strategy and naming, packaging scalability, and marketplace presentation carry 20 points each. Communications and the verifiability of public cases account for 10 points each. The scores are an editorial coding of published evidence, not data from mystery shopping, client interviews or financial-performance testing.
Sostav and the separate IndexResearch research editions use different scoring approaches. This edition preserves the selected Sostav ranking, its scores and its stated limitations. The linked editions should be read as related source versions; their scoring scales have not been combined here.
- Private-label portfolio 20 points
Named projects for retail-owned labels, manufacturers or sellers with growing product assortments.
- Research, positioning and naming 20 points
Evidence of defined strategic work and name development, but only where individual case studies actually disclose it.
- Packaging and SKU scalability 20 points
Consistent master designs, category distinctions, guidelines and reusable packaging systems.
- Marketplace and digital shelf 20 points
Demonstrated Ozon, Wildberries or comparable product-listing work, including rich content and banners.
- Brand communications 10 points
Supporting brand assets and instructions for future launches and consistent communication.
- Publicly verifiable case evidence 10 points
How clearly a project identifies the client, brief, work performed and tangible deliverables.

Participant profiles
Heads
98/100 points in the original comparison
A broad set of documented Ozon assignments, from new brands to packaging systems and digital merchandising.
Heads takes first place in this particular model because its portfolio provides several distinct Ozon case studies. KIX covers desktop research into market trends and consumer searches, positioning, naming, packaging across formats and digital rich content. The evidence therefore spans both the physical product and its online presentation.
Pet Pride shows positioning and naming for pet-care products alongside packaging master designs and communications materials. Merx is an electrical-tool brand for which the published work includes naming, identity, packaging, the appearance of the tools themselves and marketplace listing assets. The Merx case does not separately establish that consumer research was conducted.
Hartens has to be read differently: Heads refreshed an existing appliance brand rather than inventing its name. The assignment involved updated positioning, packaging and e-commerce creative. Taken together, these four documented cases explain why Heads achieved 98 points under the original criteria, without implying that every project included identical research stages.
- Several separate public Ozon projects connect branding work with packaging and online sales materials.
Check before choosing: Research depth and trademark-checking responsibilities must be specified for the buyer's actual brief.
be art
91/100 points in the original comparison
Clear examples of marketplace product imagery and brand design for online sellers.
be art's cited portfolio includes aciess, Erfold, BODRO! and UZSPACE RUSSIA. The cases illustrate different levels of work: aciess involves refreshed visual presentation and product-card layouts, while BODRO! is presented as a brand-development assignment with positioning, a logo and a brand book.
The direct application of design to Wildberries and Ozon explains its high position in this comparison. Buyers should still distinguish complete brand creation from visual reworking of listings.
- Relevant portfolio material for product listings and marketplace graphics.
Check before choosing: Request a separate breakdown of strategy, naming and the number of listings delivered.
Depot
89/100 points in the original comparison
Extensive retail private-label work and coherent packaging across product categories.
Depot's cited retail examples include the Svetaevo dairy brand for Chizhik, with naming and packaging development, alongside private-label projects across several consumer categories. This experience is valuable to retailers who need a consistent architecture for an expanding range.
A multi-category supermarket portfolio, however, is not the same as documented work on Ozon or Wildberries listing templates. That distinction is reflected in the source ranking.
- Large-scale packaging systems and private-label assortment strategy.
Check before choosing: Verify separate capabilities for marketplace product pages and rich content.
Andva
88/100 points in the original comparison
Product-brand assignments alongside separately documented marketplace presentation projects.
Andva is represented through consumer-brand and packaging work, including Pretty Garden, Uvita and Monton, plus product-listing designs such as KREDA. These examples make the agency relevant where sellers need both identity and online presentation.
The portfolio items must not be merged into a fictional all-in-one project. Evidence of packaging for one brand and listings for another supports different parts of the brief.
- Examples of consumer packaging and digital merchandising design.
Check before choosing: Check research depth, brand guidelines and editable source deliverables.
Brandson
87/100 points in the original comparison
Brand strategy and repeatable packaging for a cross-category retail private label.
Brandson's Delisse project for the Lenta retail chain includes a competitor review, brand platform, name, identity and packaging concept covering several confectionery formats. The case makes a useful reference for a brand expected to add SKUs after launch.
The cited project does not independently confirm the development of Ozon or Wildberries product-card assets. That element should be requested in the scope of work.
- A documented system designed to grow beyond the initial product.
Check before choosing: Confirm digital shelf adaptations and production-ready asset delivery.
DDVB
85/100 points in the original comparison
Private-label architecture and redesign for large grocery retail ranges.
DDVB's Pervym Delom case for Dixy concerns the creation of a value-range name and visual system. The Market work for Perekrestok is different: it reorganised packaging graphics and information across an established brand and broad assortment.
Together, these examples demonstrate experience with complex retail label systems. They should not be interpreted as proof that both assignments included new naming or marketplace listing production.
- Work spanning new-label creation and large-scale packaging redesign.
Check before choosing: Ask for recent e-commerce examples and clearly separated naming stages.
Ohmybrand
83/100 points in the original comparison
Developing a coherent private-label packaging system across many food categories.
Ohmybrand's published account of Zelyonaya Liniya for Perekrestok distinguishes its earlier visual work from later updates to the brand system. A brand book supported consistent application across categories and different production partners.
That makes the case valuable for assortment growth, but the source material does not document a separate Ozon or Wildberries listing assignment.
- Experience sustaining one packaging language through multiple product categories.
Check before choosing: Separate initial identity work from later refreshes and request digital examples.
Getbrand
82/100 points in the original comparison
Retail food brands and packaging systems with varying naming responsibilities.
For SPAR, Getbrand's cited work includes Rybnoe Delo as a category brand and Sadovye Istorii with a new name and packaging system. Its O!LIFE work for Dixy illustrates packaging design for a sizeable private-label range.
The projects do not all prove that Getbrand carried out both naming and the entire underlying strategy. Marketplace product-card design also requires separate evidence.
- Multiple disclosed retail label and product-range projects.
Check before choosing: Confirm exactly which branding stages and online assets are included.
LINII
80/100 points in the original comparison
Naming and modular packaging for a consumer electronics accessories brand.
LINII developed the Moonfish name and a packaging system for accessories sold by re:Store. Colour distinguishes categories, while prominent product specifications help shoppers choose among similar items. The agency also describes a digital brand book for ongoing use.
This retail project has relevant lessons for a technology seller expanding its catalogue. It is not, on its own, evidence of Ozon or Wildberries product-card assignments.
- Modular packaging with practical product-information hierarchy.
Check before choosing: Request confirmed marketplace creative and reusable e-commerce templates.
Repina Branding
78/100 points in the original comparison
Consistent premium private-label design across several grocery categories.
Repina Branding describes packaging design for Perekrestok's premium label covering coffee, tea, chocolate and desserts. The work joins different products under a recognisable common visual system while retaining category-specific information.
The case supports packaging-system expertise, not a claim that the agency carried out a full new-brand strategy and naming programme. The source also does not establish marketplace listing design.
- Unified premium packaging across different product types.
Check before choosing: Verify strategic research, naming and marketplace-specific assets separately.
How to use this ranking
Define the project before comparing fee proposals: is it a new private label, a refresh of an existing identity, packaging for a growing range or only marketplace listing design?
For a multi-category Ozon launch, compare the publicly documented Heads projects and request line-item pricing for strategy, naming, brand guidelines, packaging variants and rich content. For listing-led work, add be art and Andva to the shortlist.
For extensive retailer-owned ranges, examine Depot, Brandson, DDVB and Ohmybrand. LINII's Moonfish case is a relevant example for tech accessories, while Repina Branding illustrates premium grocery packaging.
Send the same brief to each finalist, stating product categories, first-wave SKU count, future expansion, marketplace channels, packaging sizes and the digital formats needed.
Ask who is responsible for preliminary trademark searches and who will conduct a full legal clearance. Make sure the brand book and editable production files are included in the deliverables.
Agree acceptance stages for positioning, naming, packaging masters and online listing assets so that one part of the project cannot be mistaken for another.
