How to turn a small local manufacturer into a national favorite brand in 2 years

Karpatska Dzherelna will allow you to look so young that no one would believe how old you really are. We have developed brand positioning with the basic value being a sense of youth and joy of life. Last year the brand got its own hero - a Carpathian old man, who lives by the well. As a result, in only 2 seasons a small unpopular local producer from Western Ukraine has turned into a national brand, which is spoken of and which is loved. So what’s now. We are number 3, and we are expanding the factory in 2 times. We did it.

The world's first yellow tomatoes ketchup

While looking for new products ideas, we found cooking and eating, albeit different ketchups, became routine. Chumak suggested mothers an innovation: the world's first yellow tomatoes ketchup. Having learned from the communication that their dull dinners are over, mothers rushed to try the new product and developed deeper trust to Chumak.

“Asortie” Launch

Nasha Ryaba is a leader of chilled chicken category. Guaranteeing high quality and freshness, it costs more. The local farms and private households trends grow. They have lower price due to lower packaging, logistic and retail expenses. It decreases packaged Ryaba’s sales. That’s why it is necessary to rise packaged chicken sales. To stop sales decrease and grow sales of packaged chicken, the Brand launches innovation in packaging. Assortie – two chicken parts in one pack. The successful campaign not only stops decline but exceeded the plan in several times.

«Smachni Istorii Torchyn»

After 10 years of success on the Ukrainian market, sales of Torchyn brand are falling rapidly. The crisis of 2013 year led to category decrease by 11% and decrease of 8% of Torchyn’s market share. Marketing solutions that used to work before are not able to change the situation. Even great discounts and promotions for customers don’t help. The main reasons of decrease are: product price, which is higher than competitor’s, loyalty to the leader has decreased because of the crisis and what is most important – consumption transformed. People do not eat traditional salads with cold sauces (olivier, shuba and etc.) anymore. New consumptions trends are dictated by new products and ingredients. And Torchyn is not there anymore. The brand has set an ambitious goal - to change the situation of consumption and return cold sauces to the consumer’s daily menu. The problem cannot be solved with simple tools and under the current communication. So that how «Smachni Istorii Torchyn» were born! Casseroles, cream soups, famous Italian dishes and even desserts - gigabytes of video materials telling how to cook your favorite dishes with the long-familiar cold sauces. Own YouTube platform and useful brand content teach, inspire and provide the result. For the first time in 10 years, a brand does not say about the product but gives you a unique experience and brings new moments to the life of the TA... The results exceeded all expectations already in 2015. We not only stopped the decline in sales, but also increased volume by 3%, despite the continued fall in the market (-11%). Researches showed that the brand has been perceived completely differently among the audience and focus attributes showed strong growth. Communication risk was fully justified and brand Torchyn is no longer just ketchup or mayonnaise, but a trend setter, and a culinary world assistant to Ukrainian audience!

Mom-Control

In times of crisis and total savings the leader of the chicken market "Nasha Ryaba" have to prove that high product quality justifies its higher cost versus to competitors. The basis for communication was the insight: if mother feeds her children with products she produce – so it is an undeniable quality and safety guarantee. Therefore, the higher cost of chicken "Nasha Ryaba" will be justified in the eyes of buyers. There were real employee of the company starred in the video and OOH, so the sincerity was unquestionable, even among skeptics. This has helped the brand not only to preserve but also to increase sales, the market share and important brand attributes.

The legend of Chornyi (Black) Taras

There are many kvasses, but Chornyi is one. We promote this idea in people’s heads. When citizen prefer modern, trendy drinks to retrograde kvasses, just only differentiation allowed the novelty to become relevant to audience. Thus Chornyi, remaining traditional at the product level, became a completely different at image level. Stylish, unusual outwardly, bright with involvement into communication. Thanks of that we implemented an annual sales plan it three months, built product knowledge comparable to old-timer brands, made sales of “Kvas Taras” portfolio the most successful in history of brand.

Charge of confidence on the way to success

2009 Nescafe 3in1 blew up the market with the message "Make mistakes, just don’t stop", but message recall decreased quickly. In the impulse category with high purchase frequency and low level of loyalty for brands it is vital to be a household word. The goal for 2014-2015 was to return the leadership in the coffee mixes category through the "second breath" of the strong communication platform via branded content. As a result the communication platform blew up the audience again receiving more than 1 million earned contacts. 2015 “Nescafe3in1” regained the leadership position in the category and showed the young Ukrainian people that they should not have fear of mistakes on their way to the success!

WOW hair right here and right now, or Elseve’s great crusade to the narrow niche of express conditioners

The launch of Elseve express conditioners has reflected needs of modern Ukrainian women. At the same time this launch was closely related to brand's ambitious goals on redistribution of the haircare products market. As early as in six months, the new product has occupied an important position in its segment and is going to move beyond. Such results have been achieved due to the non-standard (in terms of the category) communication aimed at overcoming barriers in the use of hair conditioners by Ukrainian women.

Rexona Antibacterial

Rexona is the undoubted leader in the Female Deodorant category, but despite the constant activity during 2015 Rexona’s market share was declining. In the beginning of 2016 Unilever has launched a new product - deodorant that fights the cause of the smell - bacteria. Every year since the onset of the long-awaited summer, people begin to suffer from the heat, sweating and as a result, from unpleasant odors caused by bacteria. This is especially relevant for public places. It is an obscene to make a note to the person who smells bad. Therefore, each suffers in silence. We decided to talk out loud about the problem in the moments of the greatest risk of bacterial growth - the peaks of heat, physical activity and stress. We have developed a variety of specific messages where we actualized the importance of using the product. This approach allowed us to exceed the originally intended purpose of market share.

MasterCard “Subway”

Mastercard - an international company specialized in payment solutions and technologies. Contactless payment technology was launched in Ukraine in 2011, but these cards were not used on a regular basis. To form a habit to pay by a contactless card, Mastercard contactless terminals were onstalled in the subway. For a company this is a perspecive segment in terms of the frequency and the number of transactions - every day 1.5 million travel by subway. The challenge our agency faced: to increase the number of transactions on the contactless cards on the subway at least twice in 6 months. In the first phase of the campaign we have explained to passengers in the subway how to pay tolls by contactless cards. Thus we developed the design of posters and turnstiles. During the second phase we developed a promotional campaign and created a video about the precious moments with Mastercard. Internet was chosen to become a communication channel. By the end of the campaign the number of transactions in the metro has grown by 360% compared to the period before the campaign. Campaign results have also affected consumer behavior beyond the subway. Cardholders who payed tolls on the subway were more likely to pay by contactless card in retail outlets. Their frequency has increased by 54%. However, the frequency increased and the average check has grown with it - by 71%. Movie about the priceless moments was watched 2.3 million times (79% of views were received organically).

When 3G appeared, it got clear that in the closest years main fight between Ukrainian mobile operators will be for smartphone owner who is ready to pay for the mobile Internet as megabyte price is higher than a minute price.

The company faced a question: how to draw a new format consumer and keep current subscribers base at the same time? To increase the number of subscribers of the mobile Internet up to 45 thousand subscribers. To increase quantity of connections to the Video on the go service up to 2%. The solution. An integrated national advertising campaign for the Free Music and Video on the go services promotion. Today, due to unlimited video and music, all the limits are gone. Amazing and boundless world of media fantasies tears the humdrum. The results of the campaign. In the first 7 weeks of the campaign, the quantity of subscribers using the mobile Internet has gone 90 thousand up! 4.2% of the operator current subscriber base has used Video on the go service.

By the end of the campaign the number of transactions in the metro has grown by 360% compared to the period before the campaign. Campaign results have also affected consumer behavior beyond the subway. Cardholders who payed tolls on the subway were more likely to pay by contactless card in retail outlets. Their frequency has increased by 54%. However, the frequency increased and the average check has grown with it - by 71%. Movie about the priceless moments was watched 2.3 million times (79% of views were received organically).

WOG is a good mood filling station

From 2013 WOG brand didn’t have any image-based communication. But many people knew that the company forges ahead and develop actively, improving in all directions. WOG isn’t inferior to the best European companies in service, comfort and barrier-free attitude. The commercial describes an ordinary day on WOG AZK when Jamala stops by the station to buy her favourite Latte and becomes a participant of service delivery to equally important boy whose name is Seriozha. In the same time, the company emphasises that all WOG’s clients are served with the same attention as this little boy from the commercial. Company’s main message is to show that WOG fills with mood. As a result, we increase all business objectives in non-fuel sales up to 40%.

Mastercard "Subway"

Mastercard - an international company specialized in payment solutions and technologies. Contactless payment technology was launched in Ukraine in 2011, but these cards were not used on a regular basis. To form a habit to pay by a contactless card, Mastercard contactless terminals were onstalled in the subway. For a company this is a perspecive segment in terms of the frequency and the number of transactions - every day 1.5 million travel by subway. The challenge our agency faced: to increase the number of transactions on the contactless cards on the subway at least twice in 6 months. In the first phase of the campaign we have explained to passengers in the subway how to pay tolls by contactless cards. Thus we developed the design of posters and turnstiles. During the second phase we developed a promotional campaign and created a video about the precious moments with Mastercard. Internet was chosen to become a communication channel.

It was important to save the national value - live yogurt cultures, and at the same time to add an emotionality. We obtain a formula that meets the expectations of the audience - modern working women with children - "a well-being of all households, because of live yogurt cultures (rational), it is the basis for good relations in the family (emotional)." A communication mix brought both emotional and rational components: TV, Packaging, Digital, POSm, OOH. The growth of rational and emotional characteristics of the brand motivated new customers to buy.

Smachni Istorii Torchyn

After 10 years of success on the Ukrainian market, sales of Torchyn brand are falling rapidly. The crisis of 2013 year led to category decrease by 11% and decrease of 8% of Torchyn’s market share. Marketing solutions that used to work before are not able to change the situation. Even great discounts and promotions for customers don’t help. The main reasons of decrease are: product price, which is higher than competitor’s, loyalty to the leader has decreased because of the crisis and what is most important – consumption transformed. People do not eat traditional salads with cold sauces (olivier, shuba and etc.) anymore. New consumptions trends are dictated by new products and ingredients. And Torchyn is not there anymore. The brand has set an ambitious goal - to change the situation of consumption and return cold sauces to the consumer’s daily menu. The problem cannot be solved with simple tools and under the current communication. So that how «Smachni Istorii Torchyn» were born! Casseroles, cream soups, famous Italian dishes and even desserts - gigabytes of video materials telling how to cook your favorite dishes with the long-familiar cold sauces. Own YouTube platform and useful brand content teach, inspire and provide the result. For the first time in 10 years, a brand does not say about the product but gives you a unique experience and brings new moments to the life of the TA... The results exceeded all expectations already in 2015. We not only stopped the decline in sales, but also increased volume by 3%, despite the continued fall in the market (-11%). Researches showed that the brand has been perceived completely differently among the audience and focus attributes showed strong growth. Communication risk was fully justified and brand Torchyn is no longer just ketchup or mayonnaise, but a trend setter, and a culinary world assistant to Ukrainian audience!

Nature’s Innovation

Brand Perepelka [Eng. quail] was launched as early as 2012 in Ukraine. Despite a good start and 2.5% share on the vodka market, the brand did not grow and sales started to fall off. The challenge was to put the clock back for Perepelka and return the product on shelves and consumer tables. The solution was to reposition Perepelka for the new target audience by turning the traditional home-distilled drink into a hi-tech eco product. As a result, Perepelka bet the target market share gain and expanded sales – an uneasy task in a down economy and a global decline in vodka market.

When 3G appeared, it got clear that in the closest years main fight between Ukrainian mobile operators will be for smartphone owner who is ready to pay for the mobile Internet as megabyte price is higher than a minute price. That is why streaming services Free Music and Video on the go were created. Subscribers didn’t need to download or buy content, they could just install applications included into those services and use unlimited music and video in the 3G net. The main goals. The company faced a question: how to draw a new format consumer and keep current subscribers base at the same time? To increase the number of subscribers of the mobile Internet up to 45 thousand subscribers. To increase quantity of connections to the Video on the go service up to 2%. The solution. An integrated national advertising campaign for the Free Music and Video on the go services promotion. Today, due to unlimited video and music, all the limits are gone. Amazing and boundless world of media fantasies tears the humdrum. The results of the campaign. In the first 7 weeks of the campaign, the quantity of subscribers using the mobile Internet has gone 90 thousand up! 4.2% of the operator current subscriber base has used Video on the go service. Moreover, gaining 600 thousand new subscribers was a pleasant surprise.

Coffee atmosphere in McDonald’s

In the last few years the culture of coffee consumption in Ukraine is developing rapidly. Coffee rhythm quickly picked up most of the existing operators, and it also served by new players. McDonald's from 2011 began to actively increase its coffee expertise. After studies in the first quarter of 2015, it was noted that visits to McDonald's, who bought coffee declined, although penetration increased. Despite the fact that consumers have no doubt about the quality of drinks at McDonald's, but they lacked diversity. It was necessary, by not making fundamental changes in the menu, to give consumer the opportunity to diversify coffee drinks, by making customer coffee experience special, emotional and memorable.

Ilaya “Bones”

Private Kyiv clinic ilaya regenerates bone tissue. Treatment technology is the development of its doctors. Initially the client appealed to the agency with another product - Stem Cells Bank and there were two problems: it seemed to be complicated and did not seem credible. We have simplified the product and changed its positioning: we refused the idea of stem cells bank and allocated the direction of nonunion fracture treatment. Our task was to generate targeted appeals to the clinic in the amount of 9 million hryvnias. Moreover, cost per patient’s attraction should have not exceeded 5% of revenue from the service. In order to overcome the lack of confidence and to attract patients to the clinic we decided to talk about the treatment available and clearly. Not through brochures or advertising texts but through the experience of patients. To do so, we have placed a video on the website about people who had been already saved from amputation of an arm or leg at Ilaya clinic. Patients told their real gritty stories. We have also listed diagnoses for which the treatment is effective and added the video in which doctors and biotechnologists of Ilaya told about regeneration in simple words. Thus we have showed the technology from the all sides so that mistrust and fears did not arise. During two waves of the campaign we have generated 45 hits on 20,619,810 hryvnias; with the previous plans of up to 9 million hryvnias. We exceeded the plan by + 129%.

Coffee atmosphere in McDonald’s

In the last few years the culture of coffee consumption in Ukraine is developing rapidly. Coffee rhythm quickly picked up most of the existing operators, and it also served by new players. McDonald's from 2011 began to actively increase its coffee expertise. After studies in the first quarter of 2015, it was noted that visits to McDonald's, who bought coffee declined, although penetration increased. Despite the fact that consumers have no doubt about the quality of drinks at McDonald's, but they lacked diversity. It was necessary, by not making fundamental changes in the menu, to give consumer the opportunity to diversify coffee drinks, by making customer coffee experience special, emotional and memorable. This decision was sweet syrups to coffee that diversified taste of coffee drinks at McDonald's.

Winning the price battle without a fight

The years 2013-2015 were difficult for the retailing. The low price has become the basic tool of the rivals in the battle for the purchaser. But the price communication of METRO was not accepted by the consumers because of the perception barriers of the network (only bulk purchase, it is difficult to obtain the card, poor assortment and high prices). Our challenge is to overcome the barriers and change the perception: “METRO is for me”. We decided to make the unique brand attributes as the advantages for the consumers – be the professional of your home. We have chosen the “Master Chef” sponsorship since the project perfectly reveals the key idea. At the expense of various types of activity we fought the barriers and increased the attractiveness of the network. As a result METRO has significantly increased the sales in UAH currency and in terms of volumes in 2015.

Hike beer brand has not have consistent communicational support for a long time. In 2015 it wasn't supported and lost its positions. The challenge the brand faced in 2016 was to convince the consumer that hike was a modern beer for the youth and to bring its share in volume at the beer market to the level of 2014. Hike community in Facebook was chosen to be the main owned media of the brand. It had 2 content blocks: “life hike street university” and “live your dreams”. We selected events that would become the basis for both content blocks and made hike their sponsor. The events were announced through the media that provided for the TA coverage: OOH, TV and the Internet. The integrated campaign resulted in the growth of the key image attributes of hike: «modern» and «for the youth». In 2016, the sales of hike beer almost returned to the level of 2014 within 9 months and exceeded by 28.68% the level of 2014 within HIGH season and support with communication – May-September.

Contactless payment technology was launched in Ukraine in 2011, but these cards were not used on a regular basis. To form a habit to pay by a contactless card, Mastercard contactless terminals were onstalled in the subway. For a company this is a perspecive segment in terms of the frequency and the number of transactions - every day 1.5 million travel by subway. The challenge our agency faced: to increase the number of transactions on the contactless cards on the subway at least twice in 6 months. In the first phase of the campaign we have explained to passengers in the subway how to pay tolls by contactless cards. Thus we developed the design of posters and turnstiles. During the second phase we developed a promotional campaign and created a video about the precious moments with Mastercard. Internet was chosen to become a communication channel. By the end of the campaign the number of transactions in the metro has grown by 360% compared to the period before the campaign. Campaign results have also affected consumer behavior beyond the subway. Cardholders who payed tolls on the subway were more likely to pay by contactless card in retail outlets.

Smachni Istorii Torchyn

After 10 years of success on the Ukrainian market, sales of Torchyn brand are falling rapidly. The crisis of 2013 year led to category decrease by 11% and decrease of 8% of Torchyn’s market share. Marketing solutions that used to work before are not able to change the situation. Even great discounts and promotions for customers don’t help. The main reasons of decrease are: product price, which is higher than competitor’s, loyalty to the leader has decreased because of the crisis and what is most important – consumption transformed. People do not eat traditional salads with cold sauces (olivier, shuba and etc.) anymore. New consumptions trends are dictated by new products and ingredients. And Torchyn is not there anymore. The brand has set an ambitious goal - to change the situation of consumption and return cold sauces to the consumer’s daily menu. The problem cannot be solved with simple tools and under the current communication. So that how «Smachni Istorii Torchyn» were born! Casseroles, cream soups, famous Italian dishes and even desserts - gigabytes of video materials telling how to cook your favorite dishes with the long-familiar cold sauces. Own YouTube platform and useful brand content teach, inspire and provide the result. For the first time in 10 years, a brand does not say about the product but gives you a unique experience and brings new moments to the life of the TA... The results exceeded all expectations already in 2015. We not only stopped the decline in sales, but also increased volume by 3%, despite the continued fall in the market (-11%). Researches showed that the brand has been perceived completely differently among the audience and focus attributes showed strong growth. Communication risk was fully justified and brand Torchyn is no longer just ketchup or mayonnaise, but a trend setter, and a culinary world assistant to Ukrainian audience!

It was necessary to take measures that would persuade the consumers to not only choose Nasha Riaba products but also induce them into asking the retailers why the products were sold in non-branded packaging. We need to convince the consumers that the “chicken” products are really different in terms of quality – Nasha Riaba brand is subject to the strictest quality control procedures

Activia changes image

At that point, the brand ceased to grow and develop, the number of competitors increased. Brand Ambassador Olga Freimuth still looked beautiful and the audience trusted her. But one question still bothered us—how her values correlated with the values of Activia? The market share before the start of the campaign amounted to 18.9%. To improve the performance of the brand, we needed to ensure its transition to a new development level. It was decided to make the Activia an essential attribute of happiness. For women, happiness - it is a happy family. We thus needed a famous, good-looking, and successful woman in a happy marriage, which would definitely evoke trust. Masha Efrosinina is an example of how taking care of yourself is the foundation of a happy family. The result of such cooperation with Masha was an increase in product sales from 1268t in Q3'15 to 2094 t. In Q3'16 that is + 65% and up 35 percentage points higher than planned, and its market share increased to 22.2%.
