Anton Schulke He is Duda’s head of influencer marketing and is best known as an expert in organizing live stream events.
When war broke out in Ukraine, Anton was living in Kiev and was able to continue his live event management job while fleeing the conflict there with his family and cat.
After managing to leave the city, Anton continues to actively support his favorite charity, which helps the many pets left behind in Kiev after the outbreak of war.
SEO for Paws marks two years since the outbreak of war in Kiev, and Anton organized the event to provide even more support to the charity.

An emotional journey with my family and cat Dinia
When the war broke out, Schulke was living in Kiev with his wife, children and cat Dinia.
As the situation unfolded rapidly, Anton kept his friends updated on his situation by posting daily #coffeeshot on social media.

As the situation in Kiev became more serious, his frequent updates became a lifeline to SEO’s friends and network, who anxiously awaited news of his safety every day.
After managing to escape from Ukraine and traveling across Europe, it was actually Dinia who chose Spain as his final destination, where Anton sought asylum with his family.
Despite facing personal hardships, Schulke remains dedicated to small pet shelters and vulnerable animals in Ukraine that rely on donations.
Schulke said:
“Before the war, I tried to help out at a small dog and cat shelter, but only a little.
We are talking about very small shelters with 30 to 100 animals, located in private apartments. In some cases, you may live in a small apartment, such as a one-bedroom or studio apartment. And the owner lives there. Often it’s family. ”
These small shelters receive no government funding or support from large charities and operate entirely on donations.
War has led to increased animal abandonment and limited resources, making their situation even more dire.
