Effie Awards Ukraine 2017 by vrcoalition

Congratulations to everyone involved in the 2017 Effie Awards Ukraine program. It has been an exciting year for Effie Ukraine as it continues to expand and grow even stronger. Effie’s role as a forum for the industry is one of which I am immensely proud: from Effie judging sessions, to Effie workshops, to this evening, the Effie Gala, where the industry comes together – from all disciplines across client, agency and research organizations – to recognize and celebrate best-inclass examples of marketing effectiveness. As a marketer who has spent much of my career on the client-side, I’ve been an Effie judge, worked for many Effiewinning brands, and have always supported what the Effies represent. Today, as Effie Worldwide’s President & CEO, I believe more than ever in the value of winning an Effie and in the importance of its mission to champion and improve the practice and practitioners of marketing effectiveness through recognition and, importantly, education. The Effies celebrate more than just great work, they recognize the marketers who are delivering meaningful business growth for their brands and clients. They represent the core of why we do what we do. It is important to spotlight our successes, learn from them and continue to provide benchmarks and proven examples of success for our industry. To all of the 2017 Effie Awards Ukraine winners, congratulations on your success and thank you for continuing to raise the bar and push our industry forward. Thank you to Maxim Lazebnik and the All-Ukrainian Advertising Coalition for leading such an esteemed program, and thank you to all of this year’s entrants, judges, sponsors, and program supporters for your outstanding contribution to the Effies and to the evolution of marketing effectiveness in Ukraine. We look forward to seeing continued success into 2018. Cheers,

How from a practically “niche” exotic product – soy sauce, which has been perceived exclusively as a sauce for sushi, to grow a universal guest in the kitchen of Ukrainian audience and, moreover, to expand this audience? Impossible is nothing, decided the Client`s and the Agencies` teams, and embodied an effective integrated case from the change of product perception to the stage-by-stage rebranding that allowed not only to receive admirable results but, moreover, continues to work in real time for further achievements. The Challenge: A stranger among his own: soy sauce – only for sushi. The Idea: A new look at ordinary products.

Lvіvsky holodkombіnat Yuliya Kopytko, board member Oksana Yaremko, Head of Marketing Communication Without a doubt, ice cream is a product from childhood. At the same time, it’s surprising that there is a most children’s product in the world, but there is no ice cream brand for children. Looking in the freezer with ice cream, you won’t find any pack that can attract a child the same way Kinder Surprise does. Therefore, we decided to fix this and make LIMO the most ‘ice-creamiest’ ice cream in the country. And this means the most childish. The Challenge: Being the No. 3 player, declare ourselves as leader The Idea: There’s simply no adult way to eat ice cream Bringing the Idea to Life: We have collected the situations that accurately show that no matter how old we are, ice cream brings us back to childhood. The Results: We managed to show 5 SKUs in the video and they all showed significant growth. On average, increase in volume share was 20%, and in value share – almost 70% (considering the emergence of 2 more expensive SKUs and slight price increase in general).

Ogilvy & Mather Ukraine Metro Cash&Carry Ukraine Oksana Kulikova, Head of Marketing Vadim Ishchenko, Marketing Manager Dmytro Pastukh, Digital Marketing Specialist Within the scope of the communication campaign “Breaking Prices”, METRO launched repricing in the category of ready-made sauces expecting to double their sales according to the outcomes of the campaign. The complexity of the task consisted in the fact that the sales in the category of ready-made sauces in METRO as well as on the market as a whole - for a number of reasons, such as drop in income, a trend on healthy lifestyle and healthy nutrition - has been declining for 5 consecutive years, having dropped to 1.4 kg of sauces per person per year, and the goods themselves are not traffic-forming, that is the customers won’t drive to METRO through the whole city just to buy some sauce. Having formed an insight, that food should be not only healthy, but also delicious, we used a number of unique creative ideas and slogans (for example, “pasta + pesto = the besto”) within the advertising campaign in the Internet. In our media strategy, we focused only on the top-priority segments of the target audience: existing buyers of sauces from METRO, as well as similar consumers who are not yet customers of the network. As a result of the campaign, we managed to increase the target sales of sauces per customer by 5.5 times over a month, having increased the penetration in the category by 31%. The Challenge: To double the sales in the category of sauces, despite a 5-year decline in the consumption of sauces in Ukraine. The Idea: By means of the BIG DATA processing tools, to highlight the key consumer for the category, to scale it in a digital channel, as well as to encourage these customers to purchase sauces from METRO by demonstrating a wide range of memorable creative ideas. Bringing the Idea to Life: Having formed an insight, that food should be not only healthy, but also delicious, we used a number of unique creative ideas and slogans (for example, “pasta + pesto = the besto”) within the advertising campaign, having focused only on the top-priority segments of the target audience: existing buyers of sauces from METRO, as well as similar consumers who are not yet customers of the network.

The yeast market is almost unfamiliar to a consumer, and housewives live in the same old way – they buy yeast from ‘a woman they know at a local farmers’ market’. There is a stereotype that live yeast cannot be found in any other point of sale – but this is exactly where Duhmyana Hata is sold. We’ve achieved a genuine breakthrough in the category and redirected consumers to supermarkets. The time of flight was chosen very competently and allowed us to focus consumer’s attention on our yeast and to make them to look for Duhmyana Hata in stores. The Challenge: To overcome the traditional attitude that live yeast can only be bought from ‘a woman at a local farmers’ market’. The Idea: To animate Duhmyana Hata Yeast and to attract the audience of moms and grandmas through their children. Bringing the Idea to Life: A cartoon featuring small yeasts, little kitchen helpers, who immediately won children’s hearts and stuck in parents’ memory.

On the background of food price increase, leading company on the sunflower oil category and premium brand in refined oil category managed significantly increase market share in volume. We managed to exceed targets due to insight, which contradicted communicational stereotypes of the category and touched deep feelings of target audience. Instead of “ideal happiness around the family table”, TM “Oleina” used contradiction in relations between man and woman. True talk about what really woman waits in family relations influenced consumer more than rational proof-point about product. Campaign not only attracted new consumers but also led loyal to choose TM “Oleina” more often. The Challenge: How to boost sales in the category, when people do not see value in the branded product. The Idea: Happiness is cooked together Bringing the Idea to Life: Two emotional life stories, which answered on strong woman’s tension build strong emotional connection with the brand and helped women see, that TM “Oleina” understands her needs and feelings The Results: Advertising campaign significantly increased planned market share in volume. This jump was possible because 2 influence on 2 factors – attraction of new customers and enhancing loyalty of existing customers.

Ketchup category has been in decline for several years due to the growth of retail prices, and for the trend of healthy lifestyle. Torchyn suffered the most as being one of the higher priced products in the category. Many consumers switched to cheaper ketchups, trying to save money, or preferred those ketchups, which they considered more natural. Forming the right perception of quality of ketchup is pricey and complicated: for one group of consumers it’s about the ingredients, for others it’s about expiry terms, and also about recipe, additions, and healthiness aspects. So many various facets of quality – but communication should answer at all question at once! Implementing an integrated campaign, we managed to put a stop not only to the sales of Torchyn, but we also managed to drive the growth of the entire category with the growth of Torchyn market share. The Challenge: Put a stop to decrease of the Torchyn market share, tackling the perception of both quality and naturalness of the product, hence justifying inevitable retail price growth. The Idea: Torchyn Quality – it is a constant internal Challenge on every stage of production process, it’s honesty and an attitude of “non-concealment”. Bringing the Idea to Life: Torchyn disclosed all facets of production process to a wide audience. We invited international professionals in order to stress adherence to the standards, - namely we brought to Ukraine famous Agronomist, Technologist and Chef. In their work, these professionals used to rely on European standards, which are tougher than Ukrainian standards. So that they tested the production of Torchyn applying European standards. “Quality” campaign was developed and realized as integrated 360’ campaign. The Results: We managed to put a stop not only to the sales of Torchyn, but we also managed to drive the growth of the entire category with the growth of Torchyn market share.

Juice is not a top-priority product bought by an average family during recession. That is why it is not an easy task to find and launch successfully a necessary product in this category. The needs of a big city dweller – energy, health, slenderness – require great efforts and self-improvement, and there is no simple solution. We offered this solution. All three needs were considered in each SKU of the range, which enabled us to launch a new product successfully, enhance the brand, and to take even more care for our consumers.

The Results: - the first goal: to achieve 1% market share for the first half a year. We achieved it faster – for the first 5 months; the excess of the goal for that period was 80%; market share for the reported period was 1,8%. It is a very high index for the juice category. - the second goal: to get above average in the quantitative testing of the creative. We achieved this and even more – communication and message delivery were estimated as “almost perfect”. - the third goal: to influence the whole Sandora portfolio, reflecting in the main attributes for the product: it helps me to live a healthy life, it powers me up, useful product, - thus, enhancing the main brand and the category in general. All set goals are perfectly achieved and the indexes have grown (Helps me to live a healthy life from5 to 11, powers me up from 0 to 7, Useful product from -6 to 7).

STOLI STOLICHNAYA – it is a premium vodka, which is represented in more than 170 countries of the world and is included into 3 largest vodka brands in the world. Despite the fact that STOLI STOLICHNAYA has been produced in the European Union (Latvia) for many years, the majority of Ukrainians still perceived this product as a Russian, by associating with the historic homeland of this brand, the Soviet Union, and its capital Moscow. After the military aggression of Russia social protests began all over the country: Ukrainians massively announced a boycott to Russian goods. Loyalty to STOLI declined and sales dropped dramatically. The Challenge: The brand was faced with the task of changing the perception of STOLI vodka as a Russian product among Ukrainian consumers to save the life of the in Ukraine. The Idea: In Slavic languages, the name Stolichnaya means «A Country’s Capital». But… who said it is about Russian capital? Everyone has its own capital. Bringing the Idea to Life: STOLI STOLICHNAYA is the original vodka enjoyed by original people, so we decided to bring this idea to life in an original way: we organized a national graphic design contest for legendary international vodka STOLICHNAYA “Draw Your Capital” as you see it. We implemented an integrated project with PR campaign in mass media, involving people in social networks and in retail. The Results: The project formed a high PR-resonance and interest in the brave brand, which significantly influenced the fate of STOLI STOLICHNAYA in Ukraine, radically changing the negative sales trend into the direction of growth

The category of make-up cosmetics in Ukraine is highly differentiated and is represented by a huge number of brands that are fighting for popularity among users. The threat from own brands of trading networks and direct sellers via catalogs constantly grows. For Maybelline New York it was increasingly hard to keep the leadership position in the category of make-up cosmetics, which reflected in the decline in market share in 2016. Also, according to the results of the study, it turned out that the consumer is not ready to pay more for the value of the brand, believing that its products could be cheaper. Increasing the value in the perception of the consumer was possible only through strong image support and the formation of an emotional connection with the brand. For successful communication with the goal of retaining market leadership and building the image of Maybelline New York, standard communication with high coverage was not enough. That’s why we used the insights of our audience to build a single communication platform that would convey the brand positioning and help build a connection with the consumer. For our audience of young girls, we created video content with the coolest brand ambassador. The involvement of the audience and the growth of the YouTube channel surpassed all our boldest expectations! We can proudly say that thanks to a set of solutions based on the study of the motives and interests of the target audience, the brand managed to achieve incredible business results, as well as media efficiency indicators. The Challenge: In the conditions of tough competition and switching to cheaper brands, it was extremely important for us to retain the market share, but not through promo and price wars, but by creating an emotional connection and increasing the value of the brand in the minds of the consumer. The Idea: Maybelline New York allows each girl not just to upgrade her cosmetic bag, but to become self-confident, easily try on the trendiest make-up from the New York podiums and MAKE IT HAPPEN! Bringing the Idea to Life: Taking as a basis the international platform Maybelline New York “Make it happen”, we adapted it according to the insights of the audience, built not just a campaign with high coverage, but a full communication with the consumer, using our own content, online video and outstanding and most suitable brand ambassador (Nadya Dorofeeva).

In 2016, Color Naturals was in a rather difficult situation: the brand lost market share and reduced the gap with its main competitor Palette ICC by 1.6 p.p., which was extremely dangerous and could undermine our market leadership, which, in the current situation, would be extremely difficult to return. This happened because of the scarce funds of the consumer, who, in the conditions of economy, preferred cheaper offers (both Palette ICC and private brands). We understood that it was necessary to urgently strengthen the equity of the brand and our decision was to create an image of a brand with which a woman could associate herself and for which she would pay more. The choice fell on the well-known Ukrainian singer Tina Karol, as the brand ambassador, which best translates the brand values. Thanks to Tina’s involvement and smart media support, Color Naturals grew faster than the market (by 17.0%, with the market growing by 15.5%), increased market share, and the shade of Tina #8 grew in popularity (from 17th place in 2016 to the 13th place in 2017 in the retail chain Eva). The Challenge: In the face of increasing competition from private brands, competitors, that are breathing down our neck and limited funds of consumers, we had not only to attract our consumer with one-day promo, but to increase the value of our product, work for the long term perspective. The Idea: Nourished hair means better color. Approved by Tina Karol. Bringing the Idea to Life: Tina Karol, who was chosen as the ambassador of the Garnier brand in general and the product of Color Naturals in particular, with the help of various media channels, broadcasted the values and benefits of our hair dye to the audience. The Results: By June 2017, the brand grew faster than the market: by 17.0% while the market grew by 15.5%; the market share increased by 0.2 pp. in units; Blond segment in the portfolio of Color Naturals grew and amounted to 22% in units.

The project is a great example of non-standard approach to engaging users in digital channel. Our emotional campaign showed that women are tender and they deserve better.

It is a unique case about tea for flu and cold TylolfenHot campaign on a tight market, in a falling category with a late start. A new drug with a difficult name was able to break through a huge competitor’s clutter and win consumer choice, show growth while others fell. Consumer trend - fuddism was put in the basis of communication. People become obsessed with food, more often they go to restaurants. Taste and comfort become extremely important for them, even when they choose a medicine. Medicine like food/ drinks can be tasty and bring pleasure, in addition to its direct action against flu. The Challenge: Break through the clutter of multimillion investors in the Ukrainian media market without the required 10 million USD entry fee to the leadership club, to convince the consumer that his choice should fall precisely on the very memorable new name of the unknown remedy TylolfenHot. The Idea: TylolfenHot is a delicious flu and cold remedy, and it’s not a joke. Bringing the Idea to Life: The action of an amusing commercial takes place in a gourmet restaurant - in the place where everyone comes for pleasure and comfort, the greatest connoisseur of taste, the chef who removes symptoms of flu, gets pleasure from the taste of TalolfenHot. The Results: The campaign period was characterized by a rapid market decline, but Tylolfen grew by 37% - the best result in the category and it’s not a joke

Having moved the competition from the market of sorbents to the territory of cosmetic products, Eliminal Gel has become the only product solving the problem from inside. Thus, we have achieved the increase of the market share by 2.38% among sorbents, having managed to take the audience from the adjacent market of cosmetics. The Challenge: We have taken up the market share in the oversaturated category of sorbents, having positioned ourselves in the new territory. The Idea: Spend time on emotions, not on their treatment in photo editors. Bringing the Idea to Life: The key message – Eliminal Gel is the only filter your skin needs – was delivered through the TV commercial playing up a life situation of the target audience, where they are taking selfies. The Results: With the smaller amount of investment into communication (as compared with the previous one), the rate of sales and, consequently, the market share have been increased

Polpharma Ukraine Irina But, Marketing Director Olena Boichenko, Product Manager Bobotic is a drug for treatment of newborns’ intestinal colic. The main competitors are on TV with large media scales, where they show traditional videos “problem – solution». But the means for newborns don’t have a permanent target audience. The group of people who are wondering how to save a baby from colic quickly and safely changes every 2-3 months. That’s why we turned to young parents living in a world of rapidly emerging and just as rapidly losing their relevance trends. They are prone to quick methods of solving problems and don’t want to think about how to cook dill water. The Challenge: Being a 3rd to tackle as much as possible. The Idea: When Daddy manages to calm the baby, he feels as cool as Mom does. Or even a bit cooler. Bringing the Idea to Life: Instead of showing the crying baby, we start from the moment when it already sleeps, because the medicine worked, and show what happens after that. The Results: Bobotic became the second player in volume share and reduced the gap with leading players by more than 7 p.p.

The Gentos Forte promotion “Terpi, muzhik” is the best example of efficiency, because this idea is not standard for the pharmaceutical market, which has multiplied the marketing results by more than three times. The advertising of the most pharmaceuticals is based on the standard “problem-solution” scheme. But we went beyond that scheme and added a social context to the advertisement as well as came up with a creative idea, which proved to be beneficial in the advertising field. Due to the relevance of the problem and the social component of the promotional TV clip for Gentos Forte, we have achieved high results and have become an example of an effective campaign of the pharmaceutical brand. The Challenge: Provide one-sentence summary. The Idea: The definition of the deep insight of the post-Soviet men has helped us to create a creative concept for the Gentos Forte. Based on the client’s data on concealment of the problem, we analyzed the behavior of these men. Why are they silent? Why do they endure the pain? The answer was found in their childhood. Harsh upbringing and the unspoken rule “men do not cry” have affected all spheres of their lives. The standard market communication is often comprehended as a problem of an imaginary non-existent husband and is not perceived at his own expense. Only horribly familiar situation on the screen, when a man says to himself once again “Be tough, man” has helped them to see themselves, to see themselves in this problem. Bringing the Idea to Life: “The true man can endure everything, but there is something, that is dangerous to endure “ The Results: Such results inspire, because they mean that a huge percentage of men drew attention to their symptoms, stopped “suffering”, and took their health seriously

“Family Idyllic” campaign advertises a potency and libido strengthening medicine. On one hand - it’s easy to sell what people want. On the other hand - in consumer habits we were going head to head with products boasting nearly magical properties of “here and now” effect. Not only Pravenor was never intimidated by such competition, it has identified changing consumer habits as its long-term objective - starting with this campaign! Judging by the fact that by the end of campaign overall category volume has grown by nearly 50% driven by Pravenor - some of Ukrainian men did listen to us! The Challenge: Our challenge was to come up with communication that would get our consumerы so interested and inspired by the product that they would agree to a “postponed” effect - compared to the products they are using now. The Idea: An “impossible” man in his 40s - demonstrating sexdrive and capabilities of a 16-year-old. Bringing the Idea to Life: Juxtapose a life of tireless love-hungry man “inspired” by Pravenor Forte to dull dramas and tragedies category pictures as a rule. The Results: Our communication worked so well - that it has tripled Pravenor Forte MS for the campaign period and has also driven a 44% growth in category volume.

For 3 years in a row Huggies leads the emotional communication, delivering the main brand values. More than that: they carry the charity mission, drawing the attention of the society on the children deprived of mother`s hugs and providing help for them. In 3 years Huggies Elite Soft outran the leader in the segment in the main criteria (brand awareness, market share, trial purchase). The Challenge: How to take a share from the competitor, who’s brand name has became an appellative for the whole category, in a multi-year declining market and in terms of the competitor’s superiority at investing in TV advertising? The Idea: Haggies believes in the power of hugs and helps to provide them for those babies to whom they are most vital. Bringing the Idea to Life: Born For Hugs 2017 is a project that promotes “Kangaroo Method” for nursing preterm infants through demonstrating the magical power of mother’s embraces and helping to provide prematurely born children in Ukrainian perinatal centers with diapers. The Results: Huggies Elite Soft has took #1 position in market share and brand awareness in the diaper segment for the newborns. “AguMoms Check” had become the first unique educational and marketing project in baby food category. It was aimed not only to develop “Agusha” brand, but the category in general. With “AguMoms Check” project we not only have reached our marketing goals but “Agusha” brand had become the “category driver” - Agusha is the only brand what performed growth during promo activity compared to previous year. The Challenge: To develop and bring to life the project aimed not only to increase the brand’s performance but also builds up the Baby food category in general. The Idea: Mothers do believe to other moms, experts’ recommendations and moreover they love series. Bringing the Idea to Life: Educational and marketing project “AguMoms Check” was composed of 5 YouTube series where “AguMoms team” (Olena Kravets and Yana Solomko) were checking personally all the truth about Baby food by the example of AGYSHA dairy. The Results: Because of right choice of chief personalities for the project and the project’s format (educational and marketing series); we had improved image indicators according to goals set. As a result of non-standard communication, Agusha brand is the only rising in sales brand inside the baby food dairy category in comparison to the same period in the previous year.

Hasbro is one of the world’s largest makers of toys and board games. Well-known brands such as Transformers, My Little Pony and others are in high demand in Ukraine. However, the company’s portfolio includes a number of games that are little known or sought-after, but which have a sales growth potential. These are Operation, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Elefun & Friends, Crocodile Dentist and Shark Chase. Our objective was to unlock their potential. The solution that we found to generate a demand for these “little-known” games cost several times cheaper than direct TV advertising but was nearly as effective. The content (Play & Learn show) produced in cooperation with one of the country’s largest children’s TV channels helped the products stand out from advertising clutter while integration into the content of the show provided for the natural perception of the games, increased attention to them and allowed us to meet all the objectives. The Challenge: Generate a demand for five little-known Hasbro games without a budget for direct advertising. The Idea: Children never get bored with Hasbro and their moms are confident that these games are good for their little ones. Bringing the Idea to Life: Tailor-made content on a TV channel specifically for Hasbro games The Results: A ~1,5 increase in demand for the games with minimal media investment

Uber makes it possible to connect any bank card. This advantage became a main consumer barrier in relation to Visa. Ukrainians pay little attention to which payment card they use, caring more about which bank issued a card. Our task was to get people to consciously choose a Visa card, not a competitor, when registering on Uber. Progressive people have begun to become conscious of consumption. Visa and Uber created an offer exactly for these people. Campaign resulted in increasing active cards by 32%; the numbers of Uber transactions using Visa grew by 95%, almost doubling the pre-campaign figures; moreover, post-campaign result was a 195% increase in the number of transactions on Uber using Visa.

End of 7th generation Toyota Camry life cycle meant for official dealer to sell all of old cars by December 31, 2017, without getting into a price war and fighting grey market. Rather than a price campaign, Toyota-Ukraine launched a brand image campaign, conveying a respectful message to current Camry drivers: prints with quotations from people who understood life brought drivers to the foreground in communication, unlike the rest of the market did. Official stock of cars sold by now. Grey sales fell by half. If you wanted to buy a 7th generation Toyota Camry to the New Year, you know it will no longer be for sale. The Challenge: To sell 1,400 old cars by December 31, 2017 – before new model arrival, without price war, and fighting grey market. The Idea: The Toyota Camry is the car for those who understand life. Bringing the Idea to Life: Brand image campaign, conveying a respectful message to current Camry drivers: prints with quotations from people who understood life brought drivers to the foreground. The Results: At the time of writing, 97% of official stock of cars already sold, grey sales fell by 62.5%. Consumers overlook Lexus, because they’re judging the car’s image, not the car. However, when we hold a product in our hands, we immediately want to buy it, even if it would be irrational choice. We knew that people just needed to sit in a Lexus. So, our goal was to increase test drives. Instead of showing the car people desire, we decided to show that desire itself. As a result, official test drives exceeded the plan. Moreover, every 3rd of those who got behind the wheel on the test drive – purchased a Lexus. The Challenge: Consumers overlook Lexus, because they’re judging the car’s image, not the car, so, our goal was to increase the number of test drives by 10% where people would sit in a Lexus and try it. The Idea: Admit it. You want a Lexus. Bringing the Idea to Life: Instead of showing the car people desire, we decided to show that desire itself, so, to accomplish this mission, we needed a man, a woman and dozens of meters of flowing red latex. The Results: Official test drives exceeded the plan by 25%; every 3rd of those who got behind the wheel on the test drive – purchased a Lexus; the brand’s sales increased by 24.5%.

Interactive TV is still innovative product for Ukraine. Innovations are usually sold to early adopters or innovators. Ukrtelecom entered IPTV market 4 years after competitors, when this TA was already covered. Instead of fighting for innovators company focused on traditionalists with average income. Communication based on high importance of family values to Ukrainians and formed a need in service for TA with limited possibilities for entertainments options. We showed that with Ukrtelecom it’s easy to keep family values without scarifying your own interests. The goal to increase the consumer’s base of Interactive TV service database was successfully reached. The Challenge: The necessity to promote the service at the reducing market of paid TV filled with competitors that almost totally engaged active users of innovative products. The Idea: To promote the service for untypical TA – traditionalists for whom TV is an important part of their leisure time what conflicting with their family values. Bringing the Idea to Life: With Interactive TV service favorite TV content will wait for you while you are giving your time to your family. The Results: In result of campaign the communicational objectives as well as business goals were exceeded – the growth of consumer’s base was overfulfilled, high rates of communication knowledge with prompting and of intention to subscribe were achieved. In 2015 mobile operators surprised users with plenty of new opportunities provided by digital communication. At first, companies competed mainly for innovators. Just like the other operators, we continued to open up new technologies. However, we paid much more attention to the search of opportunities to create high-quality 3G experience for people who consider human values more important than trends and innovations. Our advertising campaign is interesting because it showed the product part, but we made 3G not only a technology but also provided it with real human value. In addition, the indicators of its effectiveness fully met the goals. The Challenge: Our main challenge was to not engage in a communications war and thus turn the category into a “commodity”, but to make the 3G connection really close and valuable to most consumers. The Idea: When it seems that fine threads that connected you are lost, maybe forever, Kyivstar helps to fill your relations with warmth, making them valuable, deep and strong. Bringing the Idea to Life: We managed to show the main differentials of 3G communication from Kyivstar - 3G coverage, closeness to consumer, and the opportunity to share impressions, wherever you are - in a story about lost toy chicken Tsypa. The Results: As a result of the campaign, all business and communication goals were successfully overcome, and the increase in the share of 3G users from the Kyivstar subscriber base by 9 percentage points was indicative in quantitative terms.

The launch of 3G has opened a lot of opportunities to make communication with the operator easier and more comfortable. One of these opportunities is to control the expenses quickly and to activate additional services without tiresome calls to a callcenter or coming to service centers (operators’ shops). Kyivstar decided to provide this opportunity as soon as possible. Our campaign has become a successful example of how in a short time it is possible to increase the base of users of mobile app due to communication, removing the main barriers to using mobile services. In addition to the business goal, we also managed to retain superiority over competitors and in several image attributes. The Challenge: Kyivstar’s main competitors also have self-service systems, so the main challenge for us was the first to tell the wide audience that our service is really simple and useful and to do this simple and affordable. The Idea: “My Kyivstar” is so easy and convenient to use that even granny feels more confident than her up-to-date grandson. Bringing the Idea to Life: In our communication we remove the barrier of difficulty on the way to installing simple and convenient service by showing referential groups of “less up-to-date” than anyone of us. The Results: The business and marketing goals were fully achieved, and the increase in the number of users of the My Kyivstar application to + 21.48% more than planned was an indicative quantitative measure.

When national 3G networks were built, the main barrier to 3G use was low smartphones penetration. Traditionally the biggest retail chains are the main channel of smartphone sales. When consumers buy a smartphone, they either connect 3G of a current mobile operator or buy an additional SIM-card for the second slot. Therefore the structure of the market hardly changes. The main business opportunity for Kyivstar is selling smartphones in dealer shops with the opportunity to connect Kyivstar 3G. And Kyivstar successfully used this opportunity. The main business objectives became: 1. to increase the number of smartphone users and 3G users among Kyivstar subscribers; 2. to increase the sales of smartphones and other phones in Kyivstar retail shops. The Challenge: Kyivstar and creative agency has faced the challenge: to change the pattern of traditionalists’ behavior in buying mobile telephones, when they would rather go to big retail chain shop than to a Kyivstar shop (former customer service center). The Idea: Kyivstar shop is a place where common people can find a good smartphone for a reasonable price. Bringing the Idea to Life: The important goal for Kyivstar was to get through the clutter of retail chains advertising, which focus on promo, discounts, and specific phones, that’s why we decided to create a creative format that would help to convey ease, simplicity and affordability of up-to-date telecom goods for common people who don’t consider themselves to be trendy, rich or progressive. The Results: The business objectives of the campaign were fully implemented: during the campaign, the penetration of smartphones in the Kyivstar network grew by 1%, while the number of active 3G users increased by 2%; the number of smartphones sold in the Kyivstar shops for the week increased by an average of 35%.

In 2017 international roaming segment still remains not highly developed, therefore traditional competition within the segment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have great potential. We have chosen the strategy of segment development. Many travelers used to turn their phone off travelling abroad, because they used to regard international roaming as expensive and uncontrollable. Our advertising campaign has successfully overcome the set of business and communication goals and initiated a global change in the behavior pattern of mobile subscribers in roaming. Thanks to the offer from Kyivstar and its communications, we clearly and fascinatingly explained to Ukrainians that in roaming you really have not worry about the fact that the money on the account will suddenly end. The Challenge: The main challenge for us was the perception of our prices by subscribers as high, at the same time, the price wars did not seem to be perspective. The Idea: Kyivstar roaming is so affordable, that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry using unlimited 3G mobile Internet connection. Bringing the Idea to Life: To illustrate the fact that roaming from Kyivstar is truly affordable for everyone, we put the protagonist in a situation where he is not able to control the usage of mobile Internet communication in roaming. The Results: The communications and business objectives of the campaign were fully implemented, and the consumption of mobile Internet in roaming exceeded plans by 7 times.

Our campaign solves a complex and very relevant task – bring consumers from offline to online. In fact, this means scrapping the habit of buying bus tickets at the ticket office and developing trust to buying tickets online. The problem is that bus tickets aren’t household appliances or clothes (after all, Ukrainians have already been taught how to make such purchases on the Internet). Being the absolute leader in its segment, Busfor company came out with communication, moving forward the whole ticket E-commerce. Thus, “more purchases of bus tickets online” in our case turned into “more purchases of bus tickets on busfor.ua”. The Challenge: To change the attitude of consumers to buying a bus ticket via the Internet. The Idea: It’s time to respect the auntie from the bus cash desk and let her finally rest by buying the tickets on busfor.ua. Bringing the Idea to Life: Based on the national peculiarities of our citizens, we managed to find a suitable language and tone of communication. The Results: We grew volume 2.16 times.

In Ukraine, the drogerie retail market has been actively, though extremely extensively, developing over the last several years. Top players, including Watsons, doubled the number of stores, which led to a fierce struggle for the customer with the most unfocused attention to the proposals of drogerie retailers.

To achieve such goal, we used an immediate benefit we promoted through pictograms on creative materials a set of short-term promotions for the most famous brands relevant only for the online store with free delivery throughout the country.

The problem is – a lot of people think that Rozetka sells only home appliances and electronics. “Rozetka” means plug. Probably that’s the problem – people strongly associate the name with home appliances. So we decided to add one more word, which would describe the range of products much better. If one could describe Rozetka in 1 word, it definitely would be the world’s longest word ever. In order to underline our main message that “Rozetka’s got everything and even more” we’ve launched “The longest word” campaign. As a result – the knowledge of Rozetka’s universality got much better. Rozetka occupies leading positions even in new categories. The Challenge: Rozetka sells not only home appliances and electronics.

We chose “BAM” not by chance. We were looking for a word that would not only be emotional and convey how easy it is to launch a chain of positive changes, but which we could take over. And as the results showed, “BAM” “went to the people” and made the campaign “viral”.

Despite good dynamics of turnover growth over the current financial year (October 2016 - September 2017), METRO team faced an almost impractical task: in one month by the end of the financial year, to fulfill an ambitious monthly sales plan equivalent to the New Year sales plan, in order to strengthen its position among the TOP 3 of the largest food retailers in Ukraine. The complexity of the task consisted in the fact that over the last 8 years METRO had not opened a single new store, while the competitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; networks have been extensively developing all that time, as well as in the fact that the advertising activity of the company was already at nearly the maximum level. To achieve our goal, we decided to use a media allocation model based on the mnemic theory. This approach allowed us to show METRO advertisements to 94% of the target audience at least 12 times, which was enough to exceed the planned targets by 1.8 times in September 2017 and attract 4.5 times more new customers than it had been expected. The Challenge: In one month by the end of the financial year, to fulfill an ambitious monthly sales plan equivalent to the New Year sales plan. The Idea: Using the mathematical model of multichannel planning in each of the three sub-segments of the METRO target audience, to reach out to 7 out of 10 consumers at least 12 times per month, which as a result will allow both to increase traffic in September 2017 in order to fulfill business tasks, and to strengthen the desire to visit shopping centers in October-December 2017 according to the outcomes of the advertising campaign. Bringing the Idea to Life: Having developed a mathematical model of multichannel accumulation of coverage, based on the mnemic theory, to cover at least 70% of the target audience of METRO at the frequency of 12+, taking into account the accumulation of coverage in other media. The Results: METRO advertisements were shown to 94% of the target audience at least 12 times, which was enough to exceed the planned targets by 1.8 times in September 2017 and attract 4.5 times more new customers than it had been expected.

Work in grocery retail is associated with rude salesladies, difficult work and total hopelessness. How could it become attractive for job seekers? Silpo has always been special thanks to its gentle attitude towards people. We leveraged this to build the visuals for outdoor advertising and digital. The number of applicants increased by 24%, instead of 20%. The website’s recruitment section saw a 244% visitors increase (instead of 50%). Moreover, we once again proved that all products exist first and foremost in our head. Silpo earned the top place in the “Supermarket Employer” ratings, jumping from third in just a year. The Challenge: What could we say to make Silpo attractive to job seekers— without making offers similar to competitors’ or changing their stores. The Idea: Silpo employees are our strength, the main feature that distinguishes us from other supermarkets with their hospitality and positive attitude. Bringing the Idea to Life: We created a series of visuals showing bear cubs, kittens and bunnies working in Silpo. They became a cute and kind part of Silpo’s brand image. The Results: Like always, good won in the end. We received a ton of likes and repots, increased the number of visits to the recruitment section of the website and increased the number of CVs submitted. The Silpo supermarket chain became the top employer in the “Supermarket Employer” ratings.

While all category was focusing on rational benefits only and promising to their consumers more discounts only, we made the main focus on an emotional component, and turned consumer’s attention on satisfaction their wishes, but not on the shortterm profit. That made it possible to exceed our initial campaign-goals and take a break in TV campaign till the beginning of July. Because positive effect of campaign on company’s turnover level occurred over three months after the end of the flight. The Challenge: During interviews respondents couldn’t give exact answer what is the difference between 2 brands. At the same time competitor was winning in two categories - cheaper prices/ more discounts propositions. The Idea: To introduce store, like space where wishes come true and built an emotional connection with image of Jinn. Bringing the Idea to Life: Large-scale campaign which including TV and Digital videos and using resources of loyalty program Prostor Club. The Results: Campaign made it possible to exceed initial goals regarding knowledge increasing and brand perception.

A long time ago METRO was a desired place for shopping for final costumers. But when a lot of supermarkets appeared close to door everyone forgot about Metro with cards system only for self-employed and located in remoted area. Brand opened its doors for everyone and launched new communication platform «Wholesale for all» to re-conquer costumers. During two years we were revealing that Metro added new meaning of wholesale, namely: wholesale is not only for self employed, it is for everyone; wholesale is for all life situations and begins with only 3 items; wholesale is truly low prices, and after all wholesale is joyful. As the result sales growth outpaces the category growth by 1.5 items during last two years. The Challenge: METRO couldn’t withstand in the fight for business clients with small unfair suppliers. Because of that the company made decision to restore in shopping centers end users who chose a lot of supermarkets near the door instead of METRO. At the same time METRO planned increase sales only for already existing shopping centers, while competitors are growing due to the expansion of their networks. The Idea: At METRO, there is wholesale for ALL and it is appropriate for ALL life situations. Bringing the Idea to Life: METRO launched new platform “wholesale for all”. And told costumers what is Wholesale from METRO with the help of few campaigns: - it is appropriate for all life situation and begins with 3 items - wholesale is for ALL ALL ALL, because Client card is easy to get - wholesale is truly low prices - after all wholesale is joyful The Results: As the result sales growth outpaces the category growth by 1.5 items during last two years. And this result is achieved without opening new shopping centers!

The Idea: The ability to create your own burger recipe for McDonald’s has led to total burger obsession. Bringing the Idea to Life: The campaign consists of 4 stages: 2 virtual and 2 real ones. Each stage solves its communication task. The Results: As a result of the campaign, we not only did not tolerate the deterioration of brand attitudes due to changes in trends in consumer expectations, but also significantly increased image attributes, attendance and sales.

Atlas Weekend is the largest music festival in Ukraine. Launched in a politically and economically difficult for Ukraine in 2015, as early as 2016, the festival attracted 140,000 spectators, united the best Ukrainian artists and was accommodated on the site suitable for such an event - VDNKh. In 2017, the Festival set an ambitious goal: to gather 300,000 spectators during 5 days of the festival. For qualitative changes, funding was needed. Sponsors are a strategic source of money for the festival, but the budgets necessary for the festival traditionally went into the media, and the remaining projects were financed by a residual principle. To meet growth goals, the only option was to help marketing directors completely rethink the value of the festival for their brands. The Challenge: QUANTITATIVE INDICATORS: 1. Increase sponsor revenues 2. Increase the average check of the sponsorship contract QUALITATIVE INDICATORS 3. Improve the quality of the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsorship portfolio by attracting major international brands The Idea: Millennials with a guarantee for brand growth Bringing the Idea to Life: 1. Audience as the main value of the festival 2. The sponsor buys the involvement and response of the target audience, expressed in a specific action, and not just a media package 3. The sponsor receives guarantees for the implementation of marketing KPIs 4. This approach completely rebooted the perception of the effectiveness of the festival. The Results: 1. Increase in proceeds from sponsors by 2.9 times 2. 2.3 times the average check of the sponsorship contract 3. In 2017, among the sponsors of the festival for the first time appeared such international brands as Martini, Toyota, BUD, Coca-Cola

We realized that in fact Good Wine is not a store, but a link that allows farmers to share the fruits of their work and people - to live a healthy life. For Good Wine, the whole thing is not in Good Wine. Therefore, our campaign has become a declaration of love for farmers. We did not hire actors and did not wash the perfect cleanliness of their worn shirts. Our heroes are those whose bread we can eat for breakfast, those whose cheese we sprinkle with sugar, those whose milk we warm before bedtime. The Challenge: To tell about Good Wine Farmer’s Food Category. The Idea: Remove a series of movies about farmers who create products with their own hands and deliver them on the Good Wine shelf. Bringing the Idea to Life: We took an operator, a photographer, rented a bus with a driver and drove through four farms, where we talked with the farmers about their daily work and their dreams. This is how the movies were born. The Results: Sales have grown significantly.

There were no similar products in Ukraine before the launch of “KinoMama” sessions! We were able to create a new product and to find an unfilled niche not only in the growing film market, but also in the whole entertainment field. Our discovered audience - digital moms - allowed solving business problems. Without any investments in PR, we received a large number of positive reviews in the national media. We created a product: unique and in-demand for our market. The Challenge: To fill the cinema in a non-business time and make it “convenient” for children with parents and for childfree audiences: to solve the problem of “baby-hating”. The Idea: Young moms have become the key to solving the two challenges facing us: they are able to come to the cinema in the morning and they won’t mind seeing the same moms with kids in a room. Bringing the Idea to Life: The solution was the creation of a new product - KinoMama - a special session only for moms with kids 0+ with a muffled sound, a brighter light during the screening, so that children would not get scared and could even fall asleep, and moms would be able to rest. The Results: We increased the occupancy of morning sessions by 2 times, income grew by 300%, we were praised in media publications, but most importantly – we made moms happy!

This case demonstrates how communication dedicated to such a habitual thing like financial services and payment technologies might be brought to life in an outstanding and emotionallyway, still delivering outstanding business results. Visa was the official partner of Eurovision 2017 and conducted a huge ad campaign. Visa Innovation Stand that we developed and built in the center of EuroVillage, full of versatile contactless activities, made people experience the emotional side of both the brand and contactless technologies. The results of the activation topped the expectations the client and the agency had. The Challenge: To engage consumers into experiential activity that will inspire them to get Visa contactless payment products and to use them in everyday life. The Idea: Visa brought to you the once-in-a-life experience of versatile contactless technologies in Eurovision Village: сome, see and be on the same wavelength! Bringing the Idea to Life: While contactless photo-mirror – the tangible dramatization of payWave technology – immersed visitors into experiential activity, they were exposed to Visa contactless products by four bank partners. The Results: More than 12000 contactless photos had been made by photo-mirror, more than 30 000 Visa contactless products were issued at the stand, the ‘innovative’ perception of the brand became visibly higher. PrivatBank leads the market with a 50.9% share of bank cards. However, when half the country withdraws money on payday, that market share is actually working AGAINST you, rather than for you. People think that keeping money on bank cards is unreliable. But the fact is that possessing physical money creates a physical danger. Solution was atmospheric video clip on social networks and in buses developed by Visa & PrivatBank conveying the idea that by using your bank card, you’d leave pickpockets without work. In just one month: The number of ATM cash withdrawals using PrivatBank cards in Ukraine was reduced by hundreds of millions UAH, and the number of active PrivatBank cards grew by hundreds of thousands. The Challenge: We had to overcome mental barriers and convince people that it is safe to pay by card, in order to reduce the number of ATM cash withdrawals using PrivatBank cards by 300 million UAH and increasing number of active PrivatBank cards by 2%. The Idea: When you use your bank card, you leave pickpockets without work. Bringing the Idea to Life: Solution was atmospheric video clip on social networks and in buses developed by Visa & PrivatBank conveying the idea that by using your bank card, you’d leave pickpockets without work.

You might notice such people. Suddenly they are dramatically changed: they become hermits, abandon their habitual way of life and began to eat ascetic food. It seems they are approaching enlightenment... These are witnesses of the last week to the salary. The only thing they want to approach is a salary. And we significantly reduced this sect by showing its members a simple way out of it – a credit card from OTP Bank. The Challenge: How to persuade people to use credit cards if they afraid of them? The Idea: It is unwise to deny yourself in basics, when there is a credit card from OTP Bank. Bringing the Idea to Life: We talked about the life of “witnesses of the last week to the salary” – people who deny themselves in normal life, and break all ties with the world. Their “holiness” simply turned out to be a screen that hides the inability to properly use a credit card. The Results: The use of credit cards among OTP Bank clients grew by one third: from 25.2 % to 34.4 %. The growth in the number of active cards was 19 %, despite the fact that the market as a whole increased by only 0.8 % in the same period.

The “Banda-Banda” music video is not a typical social advertisement, but rather an entertaining and interesting project that talked about a serious problem in a light and casual tone, and thus was able to draw attention of young people and change their view on smuggling, making them think about the right values and goals in life.

The Idea: Idol of youth DZIDZIO talks about how smuggling is a waste of life. Bringing the Idea to Life: The music video was filmed in a Kiev school and at a real military unit; it showed the future of a smuggler through a real-life story—no prospects and wasted years, while others, choosing legal and rightful paths, achieve much more, slowly but steadily. The Results: The video became the top of the YouTube-channel in the first two days and kept leadership for a week, teenagers from different cities of Ukraine created more than twenty versions of their own cover music videos of the song “Banda-Banda”, and the total coverage for the project amounted to 25 million that is 8 times more than the main goal!

Among many social videos in support of the army and constant repetition of insights frequently covered by “direct competitors”, “Ballad of the Infantry” became a real 2-minute movie that highlighted heroism in a new way and showed the reality of life and service of the largest unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which undeservingly remained behind the scenes. An image that was used as the basis of the campaign was a simple soldier’s shovel; traditionally representing “an instrument of humiliation of the infantry”, in our video it became a new symbol of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. Let’s exceed the target for contract recruitment and return mobilized Ukrainian soldiers home. Let’s stop the next wave of mobilization! The Challenge: In a state of war, to attract the maximum number of contractors to the service, and with the help of building a qualitatively new image, to highlight the Ukrainian Ground Forces among other divisions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Idea: Only infantry knows what great deeds for the sake of the Motherland can be accomplished with the help of a simple soldier’s shovel. Bringing the Idea to Life: The video takes place on a real military training ground, where we used thousands of rounds and hundreds of shells to get the desired result, and instead of the actors, 150 active military personnel of the Ukrainian Ground Forces took part in the shoot. The Results: Overachievement of the target for contract recruitment allowed us not only to bring mobilized Ukrainians back home, but also to stop the next wave of mobilization!

Kiev, one of the greenest cities in Europe, has become a giant dog toilet. And it’s not a surprise: less than 1% of dog owners, walking with their pets in public places, clean the excrements after them. But at the same time 78% of Ukrainians consider themselves as Europeans. And cleaning dog feces is not just an aesthetic problem. In the poop, there are dangerous bacteria for human. Therefore, this situation affects negatively on the living conditions of us all. PO “Tse Nash Kyiv” tried to solve this problem, borrowing the European experience. But there were no changes in situation… The Challenge: So we had to create the culture of cleaning after the pets from the scratch: we had to relieve the Kievans from the belief that cleaning up after their pets is shameful, and to change the perception of people who do it from “what a freak!” to “heroes”. The Idea: By cleaning poop after the pets we take care of our children’s health! Bringing the Idea to Life: Within total absence of advertising budget, we bet on the provoking creative message that had been placed on the citilights and billboards provided by Kyiv City Administration. The Results: Without spending a hryvnia on this campaign we’ve got such results: - High public resonance due to publications in internet media provided 1.8 million views, and active discussions on social networks - In only 1 month after the campaign the number of dogs’ latrines has increased in 5 times in Kiev with support of City Administration! - Most importantly, the percentage of pet owners who clean feces after their pets has increased from 1% up to 20-50% in locations where dogs latrines are installed.

As a topic finding people missed in armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine is emotionally demanding and much ignored by local media. With no funds budgeted for TV or radio broadcasts, we faced a task of encouraging people whose relatives or loved ones missed in action to call the hotline launched by the International Committee of the Red Cross to get proper help. The campaign resulted in many target calls to the hotline received, new cases to search for the MIAs opened and valuable information on the existing cases obtained. We produced video and audio spots all of which were granted status of socially-oriented advertising and aired free of charge by national and regional TV and radio channels. The Challenge: Persuade people that the ICRC understands their problems and could help The Idea: Tell the story that would use an emotional image for the target audience to associate themselves and be appropriate for TV broadcasts. Bringing the Idea to Life: Social Good advertising in media and narrowly-targeted advertising in social media The Results: Over 2,000 calls to the hotline; over 250 calls directly related to finding particular persons; 10 successful cases within the campaign itself; 147 new cases opened Pay for Peaceful Sleep is the case showing how to creatively solve the problem of decreasing donation for ATO zone army needs caused by the ignorance to the war arising among Ukrainians. Campaign was developed and aired using little investment in creative materials and no investment in media. Yet, as the result, not only did the Fund slowed down the decrease in donations, but also received a new tool for raising funds. The Challenge: The Fund needed an engaging campaign that would be executed with little or no investment and, nevertheless, would help the Fund slow down decrease in donations caused by the fact that Ukrainians had got used to the war in the East. The Idea: Mobile application (alarm clock) Wake App In Peace, would remind Ukrainians to pay for their peaceful sleep to those who guard it and would easily be used as a tool for transferring money directly to the Fund. Bringing the Idea to Life: For the realization of the idea, we created the mobile application, and developed communication with specially written and performed Lullaby in its center used as ringtone in the alarm clock, tune in advertising materials and separate content. The Results: With the help of the application Wake App In Peace and communication around it we have successfully actualized the problem of financing of the Ukrainian Army, slowed down decrease in donations to the Fund «Come Back Alive» and, moreover, created the system of micro donations as an additional tool of raising donations to the Fund.

This is an example of a comprehensive approach to communication of traffic regulations and altering the attitude towards observing and enforcing speed limits among the most impervious audience – drivers. Instead of general statement or gruesome demonstration, bound to impair the perception, we worked out several pinpoint messages, grounded in sociological studies of insights. Each message addressed one of the three main fears of drivers, creating the direct causal link between speeding and the fears coming to life. This approach enabled us to break through the wall of skepticism, working on a basic emotional level, and reach feasible positive response. The Challenge: To change the attitude towards observing speed limits and toughening their enforcement among the most impervious audience – drivers The Idea: To pinpoint the most prominent fears of drivers, their “soft spot”, and strike them precisely where it hurts Bringing the Idea to Life: The insights were delivered through the characters of a nurse, an undertaker, and an emergency serviceman, who directly engaged the audience with short phrases addressing fears as if they had already come to life The Results: 75% of audience who has seen the video materials stated, they make them observe speed limits, and among drivers the attitude towards more strict enforcement of speed limits changed positively across the board, i.e. 20% more agreed to the necessity of harsher fines

Last years Ukrainian marketing actively uses patriotic themes. Communication and brand attributes are lavishly flavored with yellow-and-blue colors, embroidered blouses, horseshoe moustaches and Cossack trousers, but marketers already realize that both long and short-term effects from these speculative actions are highly questionable. 300-year history brand cannot go this way, because it really appeals to the values of Ukrainians and supports their traditions and cultural development. Therefore, in support of the Eurovision Song Contest, which attracts the maximum attention, we decided to demonstrate to the whole world, who are our Ukrainian people beyond the current political and economic context. We are proud of the results of the campaign: we have got to the top in terms of key image parameters, and we are especially pleased because, following the campaign, Ukrainians named Lvivske “A brand which makes the country proud”! The Challenge: So, what a traditional brand can do to bring the male audience to terms with the “women’s” pop contest and to adapt a Ukrainian brand with deep respect for Ukrainian music to it? The Idea: We were looking for what can unite people and realized that the Ukrainians are proud for many centuries for their unchanging Traditions of hospitality, that unite us today as well as 300 years ago. Bringing the Idea to Life: We have created video and other creative materials to use various types of communications and sponsorship for all 360 °: TV, OOH, DJ, social networks, POS, fan zones, and more. The Results: In May 2017, the brand reached a peak share of 16.1, sales went 15% up compared with May 2016, the brand’s top-ofmind (TOM) awareness gained 15%.

Less than a month before the launch of “DEC life school”. Fee rate is 5 times higher than the average market price. The main challenge was that the entire budget planned for the launch of the school was spent on its inventory. Having a zero budget for marketing, in just 6 days we created a Facebook video that has around 2 000 000 views and increased the number of subscribers by 717%. We attracted 15 new clients who would bring $ 135,000 in one academic year to the school budget. The Challenge: To open the first VIP-level alternative school in Ukraine we had less than one month to attract 15 new clients, each of whom would bring $1,000 a month to the school budget. The Idea: Having a zero budget for marketing, we set a goal to shoot a video that in an easy and entertaining form would convey to parents the idea that “If we give up unnecessary old things, then we should stop giving our children unnecessary knowledge” and would allow “DEC life school” to open its doors in a timely manner. Bringing the Idea to Life: In just 6 days we created an idea, found a prop, shot a video on an iPhone, edited it and published on the company Facebook page that had only 434 followers at the time. The Results: The video has around 2 000 000 views, 22,000 likes, 35,000 reposts; the number of subscribers of the Facebook increased by 717%, and most importantly, we successfully attracted 15 new clients who would bring $ 135,000 in one academic year to the school budget. With a limited budget, we have created an edutainment chatbot quiz, the first of its kind in Ukraine, which is a striking example of effective use of innovative communication channels coupled with high-quality and engaging branded content. Thanks to strategically right selection of communication channels, the project helped not only raise interest to the Johnnie Walker brand, but also enhance sales growth of the brand in summer, despite a small budget, as well as legal restrictions on alcoholic and low-alcoholic drinks advertising in Ukraine. The Challenge: To attract attention to Johnnie Walker brand, as well as to the new summer cocktail Johnnie Ginger and the ways to enjoy it, despite the overall seasonal decline in the interest to the brand and a small budget. The Idea: The first of its kind in Ukraine edutainment chatbot quiz in Facebook Messenger with giveaway from Johnnie Walker. Bringing the Idea to Life: We have created: a chatbot quiz on Johnnie Walker’s Facebook page which was active from 6 pm on Friday till 12 am on Monday; 135 brand questions and giveaways; promo posts; and did use new ads on Facebook which start a dialogue with the brand page. The Results: The project resulted in raising the level of interest to the brand Johnnie Walker from 5 to 20 points due to the Google Trends statistics and it’s more than the initial goal by 25%. The project reached 1,284,566 Ukrainian Facebook users. As a result, Johnnie Walker Red Label’s sales grew by 1.5% from 52,7% in the spring to 54,2% at the end of the summer.

Chill launch is a great example of how true consumer insight allows tailoring product concept that doesn’t just differentiate the brand on the market but makes it distinct and salient. Rival company Carlsberg opened the category of HARD drinks in Ukraine with its S&R Garage so we have decided to change the rules a bit and launch first of a kind EASY drink. The challenge was intensified by already existing category of light alcoholic beverages as Longer, Shake, etc. that occupy the territory of high energy and fun. We have found out that reflecting and approaching any situation at easy is becoming popular amongst 18-24 audience and is considered wiser and more beneficial as an attitude to life. Therefore we went on and created EASY DRINK – CHILL. That lets you chill in a funky and stylish way. Not only we managed to put a foot in the door of partying territory targeting those who take time to chill at the party, but we also tapped into an emerging trend of taking it easy! Results came fast and were overwhelming: in 4 months after launched CHILL managed to score at 126% of planned sales volume, 54% of total brand awareness vs. 35% planned – and notice WITHOUT any media campaign just trade marketing and product on shelf. The Challenge: To launch a successful brand in newly opened category of beer based light alcoholic beverages not going head to head to the first mover S&R Garage by Carlsberg and not falling into light alcoholic beverages category along with cocktail based drinks (e.g. Longer, Shake, etc.). The Idea: To use the territory, opposite to partying and active fun – the territory of “taking it easy” attitude to life, that appeared to be an emerging trend amongst 18-24 target audience. Hence the concept of EASY drink that allows to “take it easy” / relax / chill in a funky and stylish manner. Bringing the Idea to Life: We have taken the word that younger audience uses to symbolize that “taking it easy” attitude – CHILL – and turned it into the brand name.

Beer Point Andrey Fesenko, Director

Beer Point, a Kyiv pub, has been on the market for 8 years. There are no trends or news in it, but the pub had to create a stir and gain new customers. The media placement budget was as low as $3,000. The classic approach to media would hardly work given the tasks and the available budget, so we’ve taken a new look at media. To create a stir around Beer Point, we’ve placed an ad 2,000 km away from the pub – in Brussels, in front of the building of the European Parliament. Beer Point promised to stand free beer to all members of the European Parliament for visa-free travel for Ukrainians. The viral effect has made the pub popular both in Belgium and in Ukraine. The Challenge: To create a stir around a classic pub. The Idea: To stand free beer to members of the European Parliament for visa-free travel. Bringing the Idea to Life: To place an outdoor ad of a Kyiv pub near the European Parliament in Brussels. The Results: Having spent as little as $3,000, Beer Point has become known in Brussels and popular in Kyiv.

ATLAS WEEKEND Dmitriy Sidorenko, Co-owner Yehor Kiryanov, PR-director Evaluation of sponsorship packages is traditionally done for clients by media agencies on the principle “what would we get by investing the same money in direct advertising”. The mock-ups of events in almost any sponsor’s media package are covered with logos of sponsors with conditional gradations - general (slightly more), honorable (slightly less), information and so on. As a result, both the sponsors and their agencies, low value, as well as the value of such sponsorship manifestations. We had a simple and understandable task: FIND A SOLUTION, INCREASING THE VALUE AND EVALUATING VALUE OF MEDIA WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE PACKAGE WITHOUT INCREASING THE VOLUMES OF ITS PURCHASE The Challenge: In order to estimate the size of the sponsorship manifestation in the billboards, the calculation is based on the standard formula for the market: the cost of placing one carrier is multiplied by the% of the layout that the sponsor’s logo has and multiplied by the total number of carriers. Will we be able to increase the estimated value and placement value for the sponsor, remaining in the same logic of calculations? The Idea: Instead of one poster with all the sponsors, make three posters with an exclusive manifestation of each sponsor Bringing the Idea to Life: The solution allowed the sponsors not just to stand “somewhere near”, but to synchronize their own brand communication with the festival’s communication, meeting their own requirements for the beech brand, image characteristics and expecting increased attention to the layouts due to the relevance of the festival The Results: The growth of the estimated media effectiveness has grown 6.6 times! Atlas Weekend was the first festival to use this innovation.

Somersby with blueberry juice “blew up” the cider market and became the undisputed leader among non-Apple tastes. The audience eagerly shared posts and photos with a seasonal cider novelty. Millions of Ukrainians enjoyed cider with natural blueberry juice, and nonstandard BTL-activation attracted the attention of thousands of fashionistas who wanted to dye their hair in a trendy blueberry color. The wave of blueberry madness picked up bloggers, which helped increase brand interest among the target audience. Thanks to the blueberry rainy season that covered Ukraine, the results surpassed even the most daring expectations. The Challenge: Become the number one cider among non-apple tastes. The Idea: To rain down with seasonal blueberry on the territory of all Ukraine and organize incredible blueberry fun. Bringing the Idea to Life: Fill TV and Internet with cool spots and dye hair of our craziest loyal consumers into the blueberry color. The Results: The most successful launch comparing to all competitors Hasbro is one of the world’s largest makers of toys and board games. Well-known brands such as Transformers, My Little Pony and others are in high demand in Ukraine. However, the company’s portfolio includes a number of games that are little known or sought-after, but which have a sales growth potential. These are Operation, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Elefun & Friends, Crocodile Dentist and Shark Chase. Our objective was to unlock their potential. The solution that we found to generate a demand for these “little-known” games cost several times cheaper than direct TV advertising but was nearly as effective.

Chill launch is a great example of how true consumer insight allows tailoring product concept that doesn’t just differentiate the brand on the market but makes it distinct and salient. Rival company Carlsberg opened the category of HARD drinks in Ukraine with its S&R Garage so we have decided to change the rules a bit and launch first of a kind EASY drink. The challenge was intensified by already existing category of light alcoholic beverages as Longer, Shake, etc. that occupy the territory of high energy and fun. We have found out that reflecting and approaching any situation at easy is becoming popular amongst 18-24 audience and is considered wiser and more beneficial as an attitude to life. Therefore we went on and created EASY DRINK – CHILL. That lets you chill in a funky and stylish way. Not only we managed to put a foot in the door of partying territory targeting those who take time to chill at the party, but we also tapped into an emerging trend of taking it easy! Results came fast and were overwhelming: in 4 months after launched CHILL managed to score at 126% of planned sales volume, 54% of total brand awareness vs. 35% planned – and notice WITHOUT any media campaign just trade marketing and product on shelf.

Hence the concept of EASY drink that allows to “take it easy” / relax / chill in a funky and stylish manner. Bringing the Idea to Life: We have taken the word that younger audience uses to symbolize that “taking it easy” attitude – CHILL – and turned it into the brand name. Simple SKU names – Sweet, Sour, and Spicy – underline the idea of EASY choice. To wrap the idea into strong visual stereotype we used well know animals that by nature have a charm of staying CHILLED and using neoMemphis modern graphic style put these animals on the product in a stylish and modern way to deliver the message of CHILLING and not bothering anyone!

The category of make-up cosmetics in Ukraine is highly differentiated and is represented by a huge number of brands that are fighting for popularity among users. The threat from own brands of trading networks and direct sellers via catalogs constantly grows. For Maybelline New York it was increasingly hard to keep the leadership position in the category of make-up cosmetics, which reflected in the decline in market share in 2016. Also, according to the results of the study, it turned out that the consumer is not ready to pay more for the value of the brand, believing that its products could be cheaper. Increasing the value in the perception of the consumer was possible only through strong image support and the formation of an emotional connection with the brand. For successful communication with the goal of retaining market leadership and building the image of Maybelline New York, standard communication with high coverage was not enough. That’s why we used the insights of our audience to build a single communication platform that would convey the brand positioning and help build a connection with the consumer. The main media channel for our audience of young girls is digital, and preference for online time spent - watching videos with relevant content. The main channel for video consumption is YouTube. That’s why we decided to create video content with the coolest brand ambassador and use YouTube brand channel as the main point of contact with the audience. Make-up lessons, fun product videos, engaging contest mechanics - all this together was so interesting to our audience that the growth of YouTube channel and involvement in content surpassed all our boldest expectations! We can proudly say that thanks to a set of solutions based on the study of the motives and interests of the target audience, the brand managed to achieve incredible business results, as well as media efficiency indicators. The Challenge: In the conditions of tough competition and switching to cheaper brands, it was extremely important for us to retain the market share, but not through promo and price wars, but by creating an emotional connection and increasing the value of the brand in the minds of the consumer. The Idea: Maybelline New York allows each girl not just to upgrade her cosmetic bag, but to become self-confident, easily try on the trendiest make-up from the New York podiums and MAKE IT HAPPEN! Bringing the Idea to Life: Taking as a basis the international platform of Maybelline New York “Make it happen”, we adapted it in accordance with the insights of the audience and built a full communication with the consumer, using our own video content with an outstanding ambassador (Nadya Dorofeeva) on the brand YouTube channel, as the most relevant media channel for young girls. The Results: Thanks to a set of solutions based on the study of the motives and interests of the target audience, the brand managed not only to retain leadership in the category of decorative cosmetics, but also to increase market share. And also, what is not less important, to arise interest and engage the audience in the content, thus increasing the brand’s preference.

Traditions of hospitality that unite us. We tried to support this image of “Lvivske” with sponsorship of Eurovision. After overcoming stereotypes about the contest, we managed to unite the male audience around the popular “female” contest. We have found what unites Ukrainians today as it did 300 years ago – traditions of hospitality. And Eurovision was a great occasion to open Ukraine to European guests and to unite – together with “Lvivske”. The Challenge: How to combine the male audience around the pop «women’s» competition as a traditional brand? The Idea: Our traditions of hospitality unite us today just as 300 years ago Bringing the Idea to Life: In order to “get in touch” with as many people as possible, we used various types of communications and sponsored sponsorship for all 360. The Results: As a result, in May 2017 the brand reached the peak share – 16,1%; increased sales by 15% and raised Top of Mind indicator by 15%. Consumers increasingly frequently use social media to find how and where to spend their leisure time. That’s why it was necessary to develop an advertising campaign to create a stir around Beer Point in the Internet. The pub has had no budget for a long-term coherent campaign. The shot must have been quick and precise. Using the hottest news – visa-free travel for Ukrainians – we’ve advertised the Kyiv pub in Belgium. This has made Beer Point popular among the members of the European Parliament. The viral effect has created a stir in social media and made the pub well-known in Ukraine. The pub continues to reap the rewards of such bright single involvement. The Challenge: To create a stir around a classic pub. The Idea: To stand free beer to members of the European Parliament for visa-free travel. Bringing the Idea to Life: To place an outdoor ad of a Kyiv pub near the European Parliament in Brussels. The Results: Having spent as little as $3,000, Beer Point has become known in Brussels and popular in Kyiv.

Kiev, one of the greenest cities in Europe, has become a giant dog toilet. And it’s not a surprise: less than 1% of dog owners, walking with their pets in public places, clean the excrements after them. But at the same time 78% of Ukrainians consider themselves as Europeans. And cleaning dog feces is not just an aesthetic problem. In the poop, there are dangerous bacteria for human. Therefore, this situation affects negatively on the living conditions of us all. PO “Tse Nash Kyiv” tried to solve this problem, borrowing the European experience. But there were no changes in situation… The Challenge: So we had to create the culture of cleaning after the pets from the scratch: we had to relieve the Kievans from the belief that cleaning up after their pets is shameful, and to change the perception of people who do it from “what a freak!” to “heroes”. The Idea: By cleaning poop after the pets, we take care of our children’s health! Bringing the Idea to Life: Within total absence of advertising budget, we bet on the provoking creative message that had been placed on the citilights and billboards provided by Kyiv City Administration. The Results: Without spending a hryvnia on this campaign we’ve got such results: - High public resonance due to publications in internet media provided 1.8 million views, and active discussions on social networks - In only 1 month after the campaign the number of dogs’ latrines has increased in 5 times in Kiev with support of City Administration! - Most importantly, the percentage of pet owners who clean feces after their pets has increased from 1% up to 20-50% in locations where dogs latrines are installed.

BACARDI-MARTINI UKRAINE Anastasia Yershova, Sales and Marketing assistant Sergey Ostapchuk, on-trade manager

The young generation of consumers does not appreciate classical drinks, but prefers cocktails. The players fix the original, but simple recipes: Bacardi & Cola, Finlandia & Tonic, Aperol Spritz, etc. People are used to that Martini is drunk in pure form or with vodka (James Bond cocktail). There were no new ways to meet the preferences of young consumers. Since the 70’s, Martini had an original recipe for a refreshing summer cocktail Martini & Toniс. In Ukraine, a cocktail appeared two years ago, but was not focal in communication. In 2017, the cocktail Martini & Tonic decided to make a focal point in communication to promote Martini in the summer season. In fact, Martini & Tonic became the new Martini sub-brand. The Challenge: The traditional strategy of launching an alcohol brand: in parallel with advertising, to stimulate a trial in HoReCa with the help of promotional offers. To get a meaningful response in the market it is necessary to sampling a minimum of 250,000 people. Will Martini & Tonic manage this task for the first summer of 2017? The Idea: THE BIGGEST FESTIVAL AS REACTIVE PLATFORM OF SAMPLES AND COMMUNICATIONS Bringing the Idea to Life: We began to study the events popular among the target audience. The most popular festival was Atlas Weekend. In 2017 the festival planned to grow 2 times, to pass 5 days, according to forecasts it was supposed to visit 300,000 guests. The dates of the festival fell right at the height of the summer season - June 28. The ideal moment for the first cocktail sample: to appear in the circle of friends at the brightest event of the year. The festival allowed making both a record number of sample cocktails and launching on its own platform communication support for Martini & Tonic. For the aging Martini to appear in the context of such a youth event it was an opportunity to refresh the image in the eyes of new consumers. The Results: Result: 302,068 sample contacts for 5 days at the height of the season This is 3 times more than the quantity of beer sold (a traditional drink of festivals) and subject to the availability of other “habitual” drinks in the menu - rum / cola, whiskey / cola, gin / tonic. Over 5 days of the festival, 21% more sample-cocktails were sold than planned for the entire summer season. This result exceeded expectations of not only the Ukrainian but also the global office of Bacardi-Martini: according to the results of the season, during the 5 days of the festival, 20% of the sample contacts of all the markets of Eastern Europe were sold. Throughout the world, Martini has never sponsored music festivals. Today the project with Atlas Weekend is the best practice of the company at the global level.

Due to specially developed system SMAI - social media artificial intelligence – we have reached a qualitatively new level of coverage and engagement of the audience, compared to previous years. With our smart bot that was provided with a script containing 35 different invitations to Kyiv Sotka, we automatically left comments on every post in Facebook. We launched the automated process of leaving comments in real time. We placed 600 comments, with a velocity of 1 comment in 20 seconds! We exceeded our aim at 20% and got response from every third contacted! The Challenge: As traditional media didn’t work, We needed to find a new, extremely efficient and inexpensive promotional instrument for targeting a very particular segment of audience. The Idea: To communicate only with those who like bicycles and only in the comments to their posts. Bringing the Idea to Life: Our audience has already proved to be active in sharing their personal events in social media, so we developed a system we called SMAI—the social media artificial intelligence – a smart bot which was contacting targeted audience in Facebook. The Results: Every third contacted person responded, giving us 1400 of registrations, which exceeded the aim at 20%. Among many social videos in support of the army and constant repetition of insights frequently covered by “direct competitors”, “Ballad of the Infantry” became a real 2-minute movie that highlighted heroism in a new way and showed the reality of life and service of the largest unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which undeservingly remained behind the scenes. An image that was used as the basis of the campaign was a simple soldier’s shovel; traditionally representing “an instrument of humiliation of the infantry”, in our video it became a new symbol of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. Let’s exceed the target for contract recruitment and return mobilized Ukrainian soldiers home. Let’s stop the next wave of mobilization! The Challenge: In a state of war, to attract the maximum number of contractors to the service, and with the help of building a qualitatively new image, to highlight the Ukrainian Ground Forces among other divisions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Idea: Only infantry knows what great deeds for the sake of the Motherland can be accomplished with the help of a simple soldier’s shovel. Bringing the Idea to Life: The video takes place on a real military training ground, where we used thousands of rounds and hundreds of shells to get the desired result, and instead of the actors, 150 active military personnel of the Ukrainian Ground Forces took part in the shoot. The Results: Overachievement of the target for contract recruitment allowed us not only to bring mobilized Ukrainians back home, but also to stop the next wave of mobilization!

This case proves that even in such a competitive market like smartphones new affordable Chinese brand could be launched quickly and efficiently.

We created distinctive and emotional TV-campaign ‘ZTE for generation Z’. Being empowered by media digital strategy of precise affinity, the communication generated visible growth of sales for the brand. The Challenge: To break communication clutter in order to create for ZTE brand an unquestionable reason to be in consumers hearts and hands The Idea: ZTE is for Generation Z Bringing the Idea to Life: Inspirational TV-reel was adapted for online media and had been aired with precisely specific targeting at the range of indicators correlating with young audience (beyond socio-demographic characteristics) The Results: Sales grew up to 68% and generated for ZTE brand 1,4% share of smartphone market in Ukraine Consumers increasingly frequently use social media to find how and where to spend their leisure time. That’s why it was necessary to develop an advertising campaign to create a stir around Beer Point in the Internet. The pub has had no budget for a long-term coherent campaign. The shot must have been quick and precise. Using the hottest news – visa-free travel for Ukrainians – we’ve advertised the Kyiv pub in Belgium. This has made Beer Point popular among the members of the European Parliament. The viral effect has created a stir in social media and made the pub well-known in Ukraine. The Challenge: To create a stir around a classic pub. The Idea: To stand free beer to members of the European Parliament for visa-free travel. Bringing the Idea to Life: To place an outdoor ad of a Kyiv pub near the European Parliament in Brussels.

In 2013 there were three leaders in the baby food market (mixes, cereal, puree): «Nestle» (21.9 % SOM in Value), «Nutricia» (18.9%), No. 3 Khorolsky Combine (12.7%). To obtain a convincing leadership in the segment, «Nutricia» makes a decision to launch the «Milupa» brand in the mass segment and begin its development from the cereal segment (25 % SOM in Value till the end 2013). The main problem of the launch of the new brand in the baby food market is the buyer’s inertia to taste something new, because the end user of the product are kids, so for moms the main criterion for choosing food remains safety. We had to convince mothers of Ukraine that «Milupa» is a great solution for them and their babies. We solved it with idea “Harmony of benefit and taste thanks to 80-years of success in Europe”. Launch of cereals was so successful that the leader position in the segment was achieved in a year, which was a good basis for the development of the brand. In 2014 «Milupa» cookies were launched to expand the range. In 2016 with the launch of a new package, the brand hero— Bear cub Nyam-Nyam was introduced — to further emphasize the pleasure of children from taste. Taking into account the conquests of the brand it was announced that every 3rd mother of Ukraine chooses «Milupa» cereal. In 2017, a range of puree from the «Milupa» brand was introduced with a message that the choice of tasty and wholesome «Milupa» purees is the way to take care of the baby for most mothers in Ukraine. With the launch of the «Milupa» puree line, it has a full menu for babies complimentary feeding. In order to draw attention of mothers to the fact that they can provide a full complementary diet with the help of a trusted brand, there was launched the campaign «Menu for the whole day» in the autumn of 2017. The Challenge: The main problem of the launch of the new brand in the baby food market is the buyer’s inertia to taste something new, because the end user of the product are kids, so for moms the main criterion for choosing food remains safety. We had to convince mothers of Ukraine that «Milupa» is a great solution for them and their babies. The Idea: Harmony of benefit and taste thanks to 80-years of success in Europe Bringing the Idea to Life: TV, Internet, sampling, support in trade The Results: The strategic task of lengthen the lead over the main competitor «Nutricia» vs «Nestle» was successfully solved with the launch of «Milupa». At the time of registration, «Nutricia»’s share is 34% against «Nestle»’s share of 20%.

In 3 years Huggies Elite Soft outran the leader in the segment in the main criteria (brand awareness, market share, trial purchase). The Challenge: How to take a share from the competitor, who’s brand name has became an appellative for the whole category, in a multi-year declining market and in terms of the competitor’s superiority at investing in TV advertising?

Thanks to a comprehensive strategy, we not only gave Kvass a new life, but also changed the whole category. Thanks to innovative communication, our kvass has turned into a trendy, refreshing, modern beverage. The Challenge: Conduct a revolution in the kvass market and make it a fashionable and topical beverage for modern consumers. The Idea: Kvass is a natural refreshment and taste, which residents of the metropolis can not resist. Bringing the Idea to Life: Our plan was designed for 3 years, during the course of work we launched 2 unusual novelties – White and Black kvass, as well as updated the image of the oldtimers of the category Kvas Taras Khlibnyi. The Results: Our upgrade revolution ended with stunning results: we managed not only to retain leadership, but also to increase the market share (from 24 % to 43 %) by almost 2 times, increase the volume of sales of bottled kvass by 77 % and improve the image of the category on a number of indicators: stylish, modern drink +24 pp, drink for youth +14 pp, refreshing and light drink +12 pp.

Martini launched new sub-brand Martini & Tonic on Ukrainian market. For the first time in its worldwide history the brand sponsored a music festival for communication launch. The use a festival as a platform for communication was 2-in-1 solution: build awareness and generate trials. Traditional launching strategies through the media or HoReCa do not have such capabilities separately. The project allowed Martini to increase sales volumes in absolute terms by 13.3%, despite the fact that the category of vermouth in Ukraine has been declining for three years in a row. The Challenge: To launch new Martini & Tonic sub-brand, it was necessary to find a platform that would simultaneously build awareness and generate trials. The Idea: Such a platform was Atlas Weekend music festival. Bringing the Idea to Life: Martini became not just a sponsor, but part of the festival. Communication “with friends” allowed the brand to integrate seamlessly into the festival’s posters. Martini & Tonic brought the festival to a new level of hospitality. The Results: The coverage of 69% of the audience at a frequency of 3+ 302,068 sample contacts for 5 days of the festival + 13.3% increase in absolute volume in bottles (Apr-Sep, 2017/2016)

We created a site, developed a key-visual and shot a commercial. Moreover, we launched OOH at universities and video in cinemas, created Coub channel and developed stickers for Viber. A squad of promoters supported the campaign. Thus, we raised the sales of Mivina, modernized the brand and returned its Noodle throne! The Challenge: Rapid loss of market share due to the outflow of consumers to an active and cheaper competitor, against the background of a general decline in the popularity of fast-food products among young audiences. The Idea: The battle of two new tastes, the outcome of which depends on consumers. Bringing the Idea to Life: Web site Game of Tables. Commercial and key-visual. OOH. Coub channel and Viber stickers. BTL campaign. SMM. The Results: We raised the sales of Mivina (from -16 % to +34 %), modernized the brand (+19 points) and returned its Noodle throne!

This case demonstrates how traditional advertising activities might be reinforced through outstanding and emotionallyengaging customer experiential activity. Visa was the official partner of Eurovision 2017 and conducted a huge ad campaign. Visa Innovation Stand that we developed and built in the center of EuroVillage, full of versatile contactless activities, made people experience the emotional side of both the brand and contactless technologies. The results of the activation topped the expectations the client and the agency had. The Challenge: To engage consumers into experiential activity that will inspire them to get Visa contactless payment products and to use them in everyday life. The Idea: Visa brought to you the once-in-a-life experience of versatile contactless technologies in Eurovision Village: сome, see and be on the same wavelength! Bringing the Idea to Life: While contactless photo-mirror – the tangible dramatization of payWave technology – immersed visitors into experiential activity, they were exposed to Visa contactless products by four bank partners. The Results: More than 12000 contactless photos had been made by photo-mirror, more than 30 000 Visa contactless products were issued at the stand, the ‘innovative’ perception of the brand became visibly higher.

Different media-tools were used (ATL, BTL, Digital) which helped to reach and overcome the KPIs, and also to create halo-effect with the help of non-paid media (psychological test on the landing page. The results of this test were shared actively in SM by users themselves). The Challenge: To come back to C-class (taking into account strong positions of German and Japanese brands) with the help of Renault Megane Sedan legend+ help of Megane and to sell solid amount of Megane cars in complete package. The Idea: Giving the possibility to a client to feel himself as CEO in his own eyes as well as in the eyes of his colleagues. Bringing the Idea to Life: Besides standard ATL-communication, we’ve created landing-page where user could pass the test “Which CEO you are” (with possibility to share in SM), book the test-drive and also get CEO-gifts in case of Megane buying (expansive watches or individual suit sewing); and in dealership centers the clients were welcomed by doormen who opened the doors and assisted to the customer offering him/her to pass the test-drive. The Results: All KPIs were overfulfilled before the reporting period ended: Renault Megan’s sales share in C-class increased by 3 times (7,4% vs. 2,4%), the number of attracted customers to the dealer network exceeded by 50% (1469 vs. 1000 test drives).

CLIENT

Vitmark Ukraine Denis Barlyaev, Head of Marketing Department

The advertising campaign “The best not only for children” was able to create and communicate the value of the brand “Nash Sik”. The advertising campaign correctly united all the rational attributes of the brand (for which it is preferred by loyal traditionalists), as well as emotional characteristics (on the territory of care) that are important for repertory consumers. Thus, the brand for 6 months could increase the share of sales among repertoire consumers, having bitten off a significant piece of share from its main competitor, which for a long time built up a strong emotional territory. The advertising campaign has become an effective marketing mix tool, thanks to which the brand has strengthened its position among its loyal customers and was able to attract and retain the segment of repertoire consumers on its side. So the brand was able not only to increase its market share by 6.7 points in 2016 against 2015, but also to keep the indicators on the share in 2017 (Q1-Q3 average share indicator of 31.6%). The Challenge: The brand was faced with the threat of losing its uniqueness in the juice category, because it lacked an emotional territory, and the basic attributes of quality and naturalness were actively attacked by competitors: “Sadochok” ¬- through emotional communication, and “Halicia” - through a specific rational advantage (direct press). The Idea: What’s good for children is good for everyone Bringing the Idea to Life: Our response was the advertising campaign “the best is not only for children”, which is based on a touching and emotional history of children caring about their parents. The Results: After the first month of the launch of the campaign, the brand increased its indicator “Consumption most often” according to the goal (+5 points), and in September 2016 it reached 40% (in April 2016 21%) that exceeded the set goal by +14 points. The brand managed to improve the perception among repertory consumers through all the main image characteristics, having bypassed its main competitor, “Sadochok”. Thanks to a houghtful combination of rational characteristics in the advertising campaign, the high-quality indicators important for the brand are not simply preserved, but also significantly grew: high quality 51% July-August 2016, against 42% in FebruaryMarch 2016, i.е. + 9 points.

For a long time, Maybelline New York Colossal line had been holding top positions in the mascara category, but in 2016 the considerable recession started. As it turns out, a consumer is not ready to “overpay”, all the brand products are too similar for her, and it is very easy to switch to offers of competitors. Therefore, the launch of the new product of 2017, Colossal Big Shot, should return the lost market and image positions, and build a new communicational model for the brand. Key factors for the communication have become the evoking of strong emotions via stylish video in the format of pop-hits musical cover together with online channel of distribution: pages in social media of the brand and Nadia Dorofeeva, the idol of young girls. The Challenge: To return the lost market and image positions, to build a new communicational model for the brand from the point of view of key message (what to say and in what format) and from the point of view of media (which channel to use). The Idea: Colossal Big Shot – be in style with Maybelline New York! Bringing the Idea to Life: Stylish video in the format of native music clip with Nadia Dorofeeva, as well as its teasers, which were distributed via the channel of the brand and celebrity. The Results: Over-fulfillment of the media indications objectives and, as the result, the Colossal Big Shot mascara is number two in sales.

Public Organization «Tse Nash Kyiv» Dmitry Fedorenko, Director

Kiev, one of the greenest cities in Europe, has become a giant dog toilet. And it’s not a surprise: less than 1% of dog owners, walking with their pets in public places, clean the excrements after them. But at the same time 78% of Ukrainians consider themselves as Europeans. And cleaning dog feces is not just an aesthetic problem. In the poop, there are dangerous bacteria for human. Therefore, this situation affects negatively on the living conditions of us all. PO “Tse Nash Kyiv” tried to solve this problem, borrowing the European experience. But there were no changes in situation… The Challenge: So we had to create the culture of cleaning after the pets from the scratch: we had to relieve the Kievans from the belief that cleaning up after their pets is shameful, and to change the perception of people who do it from “what a freak!” to “heroes”. The Idea: By cleaning poop after the pets, we take care of our children’s health! Bringing the Idea to Life: Within total absence of advertising budget, we bet on the provoking creative message that had been placed on the citilights and billboards provided by Kyiv City Administration. The Results: Without spending a hryvnia on this campaign we’ve got such results: -High public resonance due to publications in internet media provided 1.8 million views, and active discussions on social networks -In only 1 month after the campaign the number of dogs’ latrines has increased in 5 times in Kiev with support of City Administration! -Most importantly, the percentage of pet owners who clean feces after their pets has increased from 1% up to 20-50% in locations where dogs latrines are installed.

The Results: The project resulted in raising the level of interest to the brand Johnnie Walker from 5 to 20 points due to the Google Trends statistics and it’s more than the initial goal by 25%. The project reached 1,284,566 Ukrainian Facebook users. As a result, Johnnie Walker Red Label’s sales grew by 1.5% from 52,7% in the spring to 54,2% at the end of the summer.

The Challenge: To launch new Martini & Tonic sub-brand, it was necessary to find a platform that would simultaneously build awareness and generate trials. The Idea: Such a platform was Atlas Weekend music festival. Bringing the Idea to Life: Martini became not just a sponsor, but part of the festival.

The Challenge: How can a soft drink brand expect to surprise football fans and attract their attention in a country where the most traditional “football beverage” is beer?

Seasonal Marketing FREE BEER FOREVER AGENCY

In summer, Beer Point runs out of clients because it has no open-air terrace or facade signs on a busy street. Prospective clients prefer to drink beer at an outdoor bar. The pub required a very visible campaign to gain customers in summer. Using the hottest news – visa-free travel for Ukrainians – we’ve advertised Beer Point in Belgium. The pub has become well-known among the members of the European Parliament and popular in Kyiv. Owing to successful work with a newsworthy event, Beer Point could overcome summer outflow of clients. The Challenge: To create a stir around a classic pub. The Idea: To stand free beer to members of the European Parliament for visa-free travel. Bringing the Idea to Life: To place an outdoor ad of a Kyiv pub near the European Parliament in Brussels. The Results: Having spent as little as $3,000, Beer Point has become known in Brussels and popular in Kyiv.
