Azovstal. A symbol of perseverance

To empower Ukrainians and unite people around the world for the support of Ukraine, a fundraising platform UNITED24 decided to create a symbol of Ukrainian perseverance. The last bastion of the defense of Mariupol - Azovstal, is a world-known symbol of perseverance. Using the last block of the Azovstal steel, we made unique bracelets. 100,000 bracelets were sold-out in 44 countries. Global public figures sharing and representing the bracelet including The Pope. Story earned 1.2B impressions and $114M earned media worldwide. But most importantly, UAH 300M were raised to help Ukraine.

SOLEDARITY. Ukrainian Rock-solid Strength

On the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the UNITED24 fundraising platform and Artemsil released a limited charity batch of salt from the Soledar mines, which disappeared from store shelves in the summer. The defenders of Soledar have become the embodiment of extraordinary strength, so we have changed the legendary packaging and turned “Salt” into “Soledarity. Rock-Solid Strength”. The limited batch consisted of 100,000 packs and was sold within a month of the project launch. Thanks to the project, more than UAH 58,500,000 was transferred to to purchase 2,200 FPV drones for the DIU.

Carol for Charity

Christmas 2022 was completely different for Ukrainian children. Those who grew up in conflict-affected areas experienced multiple displacements, interruptions in education, stress and trauma. Children suffer the most in this war: families are separated, missile strikes hit civilian infrastructure and cities, often power cuts. In addition, they faced ongoing health risks and economic hardships as a result of the conflict.

In order to help children feel at least partially the atmosphere of support again, we decided to create an unusual project at Christmas, which, through positive associations, contributed to the collection of donations to help such children.

We chose Carol of the Bells — a Ukrainian song that has been giving Christmas cheer for more than 100 years and is known all over the world as a symbol of Christmas. Mykola Leontovich's arrangement in 1914 turned the folk song into the now iconic Carol of the Bells, enjoyed by millions of people around the world.

With this, we turned the famous carol into a donation platform using Shazam to help Ukrainian children affected by the war. Carol of the Bells was turned into Carol for Charity. We turned a famous carol into a donation platform by changing the lyrics of the song. Every time people heard a carol, they could shazam it and immediately, in just a couple of clicks, donate for Ukrainian children.

#LightUpUkraine

In December 2022, when Ukrainian cities were plunged into darkness by Russian shelling, the fundraising platform UNITED24 announced a fundraiser for generators for hospitals. To draw the world's attention to the blackouts in Ukraine when the world is lit up with Christmas lights, we asked 120 world-famous locations to turn off their lights on the darkest night of the year. #LightUpUkraine raised $3,980,558.95 to purchase 659 generators. 900 more generators were sent to Ukraine from the EU as a result of the campaign. In total, the campaign covered 1.9 billion contacts with $0 investment in media.

Look 4 Paws: Each animal has its own personality

The growth of Club 4 Paws' market share was hampered by low social impact indicators. The social role is very important for the pet industry, as it directly influences the purchase decision. ʼ

During the campaign, Club 4 Paws gained 2 positions at once and was recognized by Ukrainians as the No. 1 socially active brand in the premium pet food category. This accelerated market share growth from 1% per year to 3% in money and 2% in weight. The outpacing growth of the market share in money terms also shows that the brand is growing not due to margin loss, but by increasing its premium value.

A nation reborn from the ashes

At all major events, including Olympic Games, Eurovision, Ukraine has already been represented. But the Burning Man, where legend status assumed a new meaning, was a significant event where Ukraine remained little known.

NGO Klych created impressive eight-meter steel sculpture called PHOENIX, that symbolizes both a bird and Ukrainian Trident, to represent Ukraine at this year's festival of independent art.

We hoped to reach 10 million people, but the impact far surpassed our hopes. Our "PHOENIX" successfully reached over 66million people in at least 10 countries. And with the assistance of the press and influencers, we 10685+ project mentions.

IMPOSSIBLE

“Impossible people made impossible efforts to achieve impossible results”— this is how history books will describe the work of the Ukrainian public sector during the war. Continuing to deliver medicines under fire to the occupied cities is the heroic work of Ukrainian activists, far away and invisible to international donors. To get resources for new emergency needs, CO 100% LIFE showed this invisible work to international organizations. Under challenges, a documentary was filmed and presented on the world’s largest conference AIDS 2022. “Impossible” movie paved the way for effective communication with world leaders and helped to raise millions of dollars in aid of Ukraine quickly.

“Watch Your Step!” Campaign to raise awareness of Ukrainians about landlandmine danger

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Ukraine has been the focus of the world’s attention with dozens of organizations providing support. Many projects are dedicated to landmine danger: Ukraine is currently the most landmine-contaminated country in the world – about 180,000 square kilometers are mined. If Ukraine’s mined territories were a separate country, it would rank 91st out of 252 countries in terms of its area.

We found that no one was doing a mass-scale project in this field. We managed to create popular product, as a result of which one in five Ukrainians learned the basic landmine safety rules.

Sparking superpowers in preschoolers

The Puppet show "Sparkles of Superpowers" embodies UNICEF's unique superpower of creating learning environments for children anywhere and under any circumstances. Using its expertise and inspiration, UNICEF found a solution that combined everything needed in the difficult times of war and blackouts - attractiveness, simplicity, mobility, and accessibility. The Sparkles of Superpowers were born in less than three months from the idea's conception. They have become real superheroes for Ukrainian children, helping to discharge their energy and igniting sparks of skills even in the darkest times.

In the first four months alone, more than 485,000 preschoolers (more than half of children aged 3-6 living in Ukraine and abroad) met the Sparkles.

I'm gonna start with Filejni!

Bashchynskyi was one of the most favorite brands of Ukrainians. But at the beginning of the war, we lost everything: our own modern factory, a unique product, a place on the food shelf...and consumers. Our

place was captured by competitors who actively used aggressive promotion. Sales fell down to historic minimum. The question arose of the existence of the brand in general.

But we did not give up, gathered our thoughts and acted when the war turned our lives upside down.

A month later, the outsourced production of sausages was launched from scratch! Two months later, we restored the "key" assortment.

After four months we found an alternative to the casing and adapted the recipe in order to relaunch and get back on the shelves

our flagship product - Fileini.

Thanks to our titanic efforts, we returned to the first place in the purchase rating in the macro category of sausages, and also became the leaders in the Modern Trade channel and gained a 15% share of market. Our story is a story of determination, revival and success! Being on the verge of disappearing of the brand, we, like a phoenix bird, were reborn, returned to the shelves and brought back consumers!

We have done a lot to be part of this story during the extremely difficult 2022-2023. The historic Derzhprom building on Freedom Square in Kharkiv, one of the first skyscrapers in Europe which was constructed of monolithic reinforced concrete, became the symbol of our indomitable spirit. The Nazis and Russians tried to destroy it, but it stood its ground. Because Kharkiv is made of reinforced concrete!

Magnets crafted from reinforced concrete, dedicated to Kharkiv, have become the talisman, we presented to our partners. Our indomitability was confirmed by the results: a record-breaking income growth for the entire history of the agency. +50% compared to 2021.

How MAUDAU turned stuff into stuffao

This campaign is an example of successful marketing, thanks to the right creative and media solutions. A small player in the e-commerce market has become visible, even in the difficult market conditions in the country.

Thanks to the campaign, the goals were achieved and even exceeded. First of all:

- MAUDAU attracted the necessary attention, built a more sustainable brand awareness, and generated more revenue in monetary terms.

One of the main achievements is that despite the similar assortment to competitors, no one will confuse MAUDAU's advertising with another marketplace, thanks to the unique brand language that is clearly recognizable to consumers.

Let's finish the case with a joke:

MAUDAU is when we "played with copyright" and won :)

COMFY research has shown that since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainians have changed their shopping habits. The decisive factor in buying is not the price, but the benefit. People want to get the best for the best price.

So COMFY has introduced a new group of products called KRASHCH (or kind of THE SUPER BEST in English), which combines the perfect balance of quality, price, features, and customer demand.

Thanks to vivid branding, creative ads, digital promotion, and design of sales areas the level of awareness of the KRASHCH reached 35% within two months of the campaign launch.

Darnytsia is ours. How to become #1 in a falling market

For many years, Darnytsia was the No. 1 manufacturer in Ukraine in terms of the number of drugs sold. However, in monetary terms, the company was 4th in 2019, and second at the start of the campaign, a third behind the leader. For a long time, the company was held hostage by the distrust of Ukrainians and was able to reverse this trend by quickly sensing changes in Ukrainian moods with the start of a full-scale invasion.

The new positioning "Darnytsia is ours" became part of the updated branding and logo group, which did not require additional media budgets. During the implementation of the campaign, Darnytsia became #1 in the pharmaceutical market for the first time in terms of market share in monetary terms with an indicator of 5.7% and continues to grow.

Gave help? Got Effie!

All Ukrainians have a common goal - victory. Most of us support well-known foundations and large fundraisings. But there are also problems of certain people who conduct their own "little" fight for survival.

The Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine announced the launch of the "eDopomoga" platform - to connect those who need help with those who can provide it. And so that the number of the former does not outweigh the number of the latter, Mastercard has become the perfect superpower for this connection.

We launched communication waves with different accents, incentives and activations to get people to join the platform and donate.

eDopomoga has become visible to the general public, and its effectiveness has increased tenfold. And the most important thing is that many people were not left alone with their troubles, feeling real support.

WINNING DEPOSITS

At the beginning of 2023, FUIB faced with challenge of increasing its deposit portfolio during wartime. To do so, the bank had to convince Ukrainians to deposit money during this time.

A new deposit strategy was built upon key drivers that influence the choice of bank for deposits – reliability and high interest rate.

The strategy targeted two segments of clients – “experienced users” and “novices” and realized through deposits "Steel" and "Calm". Communication, based on the rational benefits of each deposit, combined with the emotional needs of Ukrainians during wartime, along with an effective digital media campaign, was successful.

FUIB melted the ice of distrust towards deposits and became choice #1 among banks for deposits.

Кампанія вплинула на контекст, у якому Україна згадувалася у світових ЗМІ та промовах політиків. Уся ця кампанія складалася із серії партнерств із різними аудиторіями в різних каналах комунікації. У цьому кейсі ми шукали спосіб залучити контент-мейкерів у TikTok. Ми вирішили не витрачати ресурси на створення відео-маніфесту. Замість цього зробили аудіо-маніфест і віддали креаторам у TikTok.

The World of Skovoroda – the idea of light in dark times

In wartime, when most cultural initiatives lose their meaning, having neither audience demand nor resources and risk becoming toxic, "Svit Skovorody" becomes the only major cultural project in Ukraine that not only survived the blackout, but also gathered a record audience and received the support and approval of society. The results were achieved with a budget three times smaller than similar pre-war projects in active cooperation with media partners.

IT is Fine: How to raise 5 million donations for 5 hours

Should we laugh now, or can we allow ourselves little joys? These are questions that both brands and ordinary people ask themselves. Comedians also ponder these questions, as their audience has multiplied during times of war. Humor has never been in such demand. Our answer is - you can laugh, you can relax, you can find pleasure. The only thing you can't do is stop supporting our army.

A charity livestream with 110,000 views on YouTube raised 5 million UAH in 5 hours for the "Come Back Alive" foundation. Thanks to media coverage of 6 million, the collected amount was doubled in two weeks.

Life Saving App

Every year, about 1.1 million people suffer from violence. 90% of those who seek help for domestic violence are women. Only a third seek assistance.

Our project has provided women with an essential tool to ensure their safety at all times. A mobile application with a discreet police call button that can be activated in 2 clicks. Despite time limitations (2 months) and communication methods (communicating in a way that only women would discover the application, without using the name or direct references to the application), we reached 8 million women and achieved 25,000 downloads. To accomplish this, we partnered with 25 Ukrainian businesses, engaged 25 thought leaders, and created 10 media features.

Carol for Charity

Christmas 2022 was completely different for Ukrainian children. Those who grew up in conflict-affected areas experienced multiple displacements, interruptions in education, stress and trauma. Children suffer the most in this war: families are separated, missile strikes hit civilian infrastructure and cities, often power cuts. In addition, they faced ongoing health risks and economic hardships as a result of the conflict.

In order to help children feel at least partially the atmosphere of support again, we decided to create an unusual project at Christmas, which, through positive associations, contributed to the collection of donations to help such children.

We chose Carol of the Bells — a Ukrainian song that has been giving Christmas cheer for more than 100 years and is known all over the world as a symbol of Christmas. Mykola Leontovich's arrangement in 1914 turned the folk song into the now iconic Carol of the Bells, enjoyed by millions of people around the world.

With this, we turned the famous carol into a donation platform using Shazam to help Ukrainian children affected by the war. Carol of the Bells was turned into Carol for Charity. We turned a famous carol into a donation platform by changing the lyrics of the song. Every time people heard a carol, they could shazam it and immediately, in just a couple of clicks, donate for Ukrainian children.

Darnytsia is ours. How to become #1 in a falling market

For many years, Darnytsia was the No. 1 manufacturer in Ukraine in terms of the number of drugs sold. However, in monetary terms, the company was 4th in 2019, and second at the start of the campaign, a third behind the leader. For a long time, the company was held hostage by the distrust of Ukrainians and was able to reverse this trend by quickly sensing changes in Ukrainian moods with the start of a full-scale invasion.

The new positioning "Darnytsia is ours" became part of the updated branding and logo group, which did not require additional media budgets. During the implementation of the campaign, Darnytsia became #1 in the pharmaceutical market for the first time in terms of market share in monetary terms with an indicator of 5.7% and continues to grow.

robota.ua WORKS FOR YOU

*Prewar eligibility period

After an unsuccessful advertising campaign, the robota.ua service immediately needed rebranding and a change in positioning.

Having identified the target and its pain points, we improved our positioning, which now took into account the interests of both job seekers and employers.

Plus, the new positioning of "robota.ua works for you" helped to separate us from our direct competitor.

It was possible to regain the trust of employers and job seekers.

In December, our robota.ua service became the leader in category #1:

by the number of posted vacancies (105,496) and 4,000,000 posted resumes.

SOLEDARITY. Ukrainian Rock-solid Strength

On the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the UNITED24 fundraising platform and Artemsil released a limited charity batch of salt from the Soledar mines, which disappeared from store shelves in the summer. The defenders of Soledar have become the embodiment of extraordinary strength, so we have changed the legendary packaging and turned “Salt” into “Soledarity. Rock-Solid Strength”. The limited batch consisted of 100,000 packs and was sold within a month of the project launch. Thanks to the project, more than UAH 58,500,000 was transferred to to purchase 2,200 FPV drones for the DIU.

Helpline for Men

Seven out of ten men in Ukraine suffer from severe distress.

In simple terms, this is when a man "can't take it anymore", when it's time to seek help. At the same time, 96% of men claim that they are "doing fine".

The Helpline for Men was created to help and support those who are always "fine". But how to motivate men to seek help? This was a challenge and our main achievement. By using humor on the one hand and a deep understanding of men's problems on the other, we were able to exceed the KPI for successful consultations by 35% and make the world a slightly better place.

Sparking superpowers in preschoolers

In the context of the war, there was an urgent need to develop an educational methodology for preschool children in a short time, which would combine, on the one hand, attractiveness and effectiveness and, on the other hand, ease of use and ease of distribution. The puppet show w "Sparkles of Superpowers" became such a solution.

Sparkles showed up to the world in less than three months from the conception of the idea and have become real superheroes for Ukrainian children, helping them discharge their energy and igniting sparks of skills even in the darkest of times.

In the first four months alone, more than 485 thousand preschoolers (more than half of children aged 3-6 living in Ukraine and abroad) have met Sparkles.

Робота над цим проєктом розпочалася на 4-й день вторгнення росії в Україну. Викликом для нас стало переконати світ і самих українців, що в нас є сили та воля боротися за свою свободу. Завдяки серії ефективних колаборацій з урядом, бізнесами та людьми в соціальних мережах ми зробили кампанію "Будь сміливим як Україна" найпомітнішою комунікацією країни у світі в період війни. Менше, ніж за 3 місяці, ініціатива креативників пройшла шлях до офіційної комунікації бренду України на найбільшій міжнародній арені, отримавши понад 2 мільярди контактів по всьому світу.

SOLEDARITY. Ukrainian Rock-solid Strength

To mark the anniversary of the full-scale invasion, the UNITED24 fundraising platform and Artemisil presented a special batch of salt - "Mіts. Ukrainian Stone". Back in the summer of 2022, the pack of ARTEMSOL known to millions of Ukrainians disappeared from the shelves of grocery chains. It has returned in an updated symbolic packaging to help Ukrainian defenders. In total, the batch of "Mіst. Ukrainian Stone" batch consisted of 100,000 packs of 200 grams each, as after the occupation of Soledar, the project team managed to find 20 tonnes of salt mined in the mines of Donetsk region. The limited batch of "Artemsol" went on sale in the Silpo chain and online on ROZETKA. All profits - UAH 500 from each pack - will be used to build a flotilla of kamikaze drones for the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

Gemini created 2 new tea products that increased premium tea revenues by 3 times.

And all this with zero media costs and UAH 50,000 in production costs.

THE BIGGEST THERAPEUTIC SESSION FOR UKRAINIANS

We have created an innovative format - TEDx in the age of Instagram: instead of long lectures and discussions, the speaker puts the most important thing in one thought per minute, which allowed us to solve the problem of unstable access to the Internet for our target audience. When there are 10 such speakers, you immediately see a 360-degree view of the issue, spending a few minutes watching it, as if you were flipping through a story on your way home from work. This allowed us to get 58% of the conference views. We also used the trend of "microlearning", which is relevant for the average Ukrainian's information field, which is overflowing with news content. All of this allowed us to create a therapeutic experience for a multi-million audience of people who were hesitant to start reflecting on their experience of a full-scale war.

Plenty of drumsticks for everyone!

In the format of refrigerated chicken, Ukrainians traditionally bought a whole chicken (carcass) and a quarter, and then spent time cutting them, thinking that they were saving money. But in fact, people bought a lot of bones, not realizing that they were overpaying for the pure meat.

It is extremely difficult to change consumer habits, especially in traditional products that people have been cooking with for decades! HOW DO YOU CONVINCE CONSUMERS TO BUY MORE MEAT?

Nasha Ryaba has made a strategic focus on the CHICKEN DRUMSTICK as an alternative to the quarter, because:

- it has up to 20% MORE meat compared to a quarter

- it is a more tasty and convenient part, children love it and eat it first

Thanks to communication, consumers realized the benefits of drumsticks and started buying more of them!

AND WE GOT THE MAIN RESULT: CONSUMER HABITS STARTED TO CHANGE, AND COMPETITORS ALSO STARTED TO SELL MORE DRUMSTICKS AND CUT PRODUCTS!

Nasha Ryaba continues to change the market, leading competitors and developing the category for both producers and consumers!

Marathon No One Wants to Run

*Prewar eligibility period

Before the full-scale invasion, the war in Ukraine was rarely mentioned in the world media. Nova Post has been supporting the Ukrainian military and volunteers since 2014 and wanted to remind the world of the war. On November 7, 2021, the day the TCS New York City Marathon started, we launched "The Marathon No One Wants to Run" in Ukrainian frontline village New York. 55,512 participants from 58 countries signed up for it, which is 40% more than for the 2021 TCS New York City Marathon. The project covered 95,000,000+ contacts globally with a $0 media budget.

Words of support

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, many Ukrainian businesses have turned down the Russian language, and some quite radically. In the case of PUMB, when many of its clients are Russian-speaking Ukrainians, this option looked ineffective and harmful. After conducting research, we realized that the point of pain for customers is the fear of making a mistake when it comes to money, and you are just taking your first steps in the Ukrainian language. To support them, we developed a complex campaign to facilitate the transition to the Ukrainian language. And it was a win-win! Clients engaged in communication joyfully and were not afraid to make mistakes when communicating with bank consultants. The bank gained customer loyalty, growth in FUIB's image metrics as a Ukrainian bank, and the chance to turn off the Russian language on its website and in the application in a way so that almost no one noticed it.

Darnytsia is ours. How to become #1 in a falling market

For many years, Darnytsia was the No. 1 manufacturer in Ukraine in terms of the number of drugs sold. However, in monetary terms, the company was 4th in 2019, and second at the start of the campaign, a third behind the leader. For a long time, the company was held hostage by the distrust of Ukrainians and was able to reverse this trend by quickly sensing changes in Ukrainian moods with the start of a full-scale invasion.

The new positioning "Darnytsia is ours" became part of the updated branding and logo group, which did not require additional media budgets. During the implementation of the campaign, Darnytsia became #1 in the pharmaceutical market for the first time in terms of market share in monetary terms with an indicator of 5.7% and continues to grow.

NUMO - development is always on time.

The platform for the development of preschoolers "NUMO" began to operate at the peak of the lockdown in 2020 as a site with one single section on the development of skills of preschoolers. In 3 years, it has developed into an ecosystem of online and offline tools that help parents, guardians, educators, and volunteers of children's centers in Ukraine and abroad to work with children and effectively develop them.

We created an umbrella brand that parents clearly associate with preschool age. It is at NUMO that they come for help in the development of the child in this important period of his life, which, unfortunately, coincided with the time of severe trials for our country.

The result of the platform's work is access to high-quality educational materials for more than 1.9 million users and an improvement in parents' understanding of the quality of the preschool stage of children's development.

Using only social media, 1980 animals were published on the platform in a year, 908 of which have already found homes. That is, the conversion rate was 45.9%, which is three times higher than the result of the country's largest shelters. 


The project garnered 3,000,000 organic reach and 500,000 engagements on social media without using a media budget. Thanks to the virality of the project, we were able to transfer the planned media budget of $27,000 USD to support the "wards" of the shelters where the filming took place: Sirius, Patron Pet Center, Barboskins, Give a Paw, Big Heart, Noses, Right to Life, Yana Shlyakhova Shelter, Krok do Zhyttia Veterinary and Sterilization Center, Fairy, Hatul Madan

Hop! And it's ready!

Marinated chicken, as a value-added product, developed slowly and had a pronounced seasonality. During the cold period, retail chains massively reduced distribution, and volumes fell by 2.5 times.

In times of full-scale invasion, it became even more difficult: fewer people, less money, Ukrainians began to economize even more. Who would pay for marinated chicken?

It seemed that the development of the Appetytna brand was not timely.

But we saw the current trends! We understood the need of Ukrainians to cook conveniently and easily in the face of a full-scale invasion and reached a historic maximum in brand sales in 2023!

We created a SEASON ALL YEAR ROUND, changed the perception of marinated products by consumers during the cold season and managed to level out the seasonality of sales!

We educated Ukrainians to consume marinated chicken, overtook marinated pork for the first time in history by a large margin and increased the category overall!

Crisis Communication During Energy and Information Blackout

Ukrainians actively approached YASNO after Russia's missile attacks on the energy infrastructure. The company was not accountable for limits, disconnection schedules, etc., and people were unaware of this.

Negative feedback received was a sign of a threat to the reputation. Our communication was completely changed to preserve the brand's health and loyalty among current clients and those who first learned about YASNO. We managed to:

– Maintain trust in the brand (77% of surveyed consumers),

– Maintain a positive attitude (63%),

Christmas not war

Every child deserves a peaceful childhood, even in spite of the war, believes the Beton vid Kovalska brand. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the company has handed over 11,000 reinforced concrete blocks to the military for roadblocks — however, some have ceased to be used after the deoccupation of Kyiv Oblast and remained on the streets. The brand turned concrete blocks in Kyiv into fairy-tale heroes. 10 heroes who, like Ukrainian children, face new difficulties created by the war.

IT is Fine: How to raise 5 million donations for 5 hours

Should we laugh now, or can we allow ourselves little joys? These are questions that both brands and ordinary people ask themselves. Comedians also ponder these questions, as their audience has multiplied during times of war. Humor has never been in such demand. Our answer is - you can laugh, you can relax, you can find pleasure. The only thing you can't do is stop supporting our army.

THE BIGGEST THERAPEUTIC SESSION FOR UKRAINIANS

We have created an innovative format - TEDx in the age of Instagram: instead of long lectures and discussions, the speaker puts the most important thing in one thought per minute, which allowed us to solve the problem of unstable access to the Internet for our target audience. When there are 10 such speakers, you immediately see a 360-degree view of the issue, spending a few minutes watching it, as if you were flipping through a story on your way home from work. This allowed us to get 58% of the conference views. We also used the trend of "microlearning", which is relevant for the average Ukrainian's information field, which is overflowing with news content. All of this allowed us to create a therapeutic experience for a multi-million audience of people who were hesitant to start reflecting on their experience of a full-scale war.

Look 4 Paws: Each animal has its own personality

The Look 4 Paws/Petsession project influenced the entire culture of adoption in Ukraine by creating adoption mechanics that are three times more effective than those that were common before. For the first time in Ukraine, the campaign began to look for homes for homeless animals not out of pity for them, but by recognizing them as individuals. 

After the launch of the project, other projects and initiatives picked up not only the approach of showing animals as individuals, but also copied TOV, design, style, SMM mechanics, and even storytelling formats. Having noticed this trend, we started producing educational materials because we saw that our approach worked three times better than traditional methods. 

An impressive result of the project was a change in the attitude of Ukrainians towards outbred animals. 

33.5% of Ukrainians said that their attitude towards outbred animals had improved over the past year.

During the war consumers spend their money for donations, not for a new cream. Women simply skip “beauty” care when regular missiles attacks became the new reality. But what could we do for Ukrainians?

We launched charity campaign to give people a worth reason to take care of themselves and to fundraise money for good. We supplied 2 hospitals with hybrid solar systems in times of total power outage.

SOLEDARITY. Ukrainian Rock-solid Strength

On the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the UNITED24 fundraising platform and Artemsil released a limited charity batch of salt from the Soledar mines, which disappeared from store shelves in the summer. The defenders of Soledar have become the embodiment of extraordinary strength, so we have changed the legendary packaging and turned “Salt” into “Soledarity. Rock-Solid Strength”. The limited batch consisted of 100,000 packs and was sold within a month of the project launch. Thanks to the project, more than UAH 58,500,000 was transferred to to purchase 2,200 FPV drones for the DIU.

NUMO - development is always on time.

The NUMO platform has become the only consolidated and systematic source of information and materials on preschool children's development in Ukraine. It effectively performed three functions:

1- Began systematic work on raising parents' literacy regarding the development of preschoolers at the national level.

2- Provided parents with convenient and practical materials for development.

3- It made it possible to respond quickly to the challenges of the pandemic and war and support children and parents when the issues of development and education were far from the top priorities.

This is an example of how a properly constructed system in advance showed its extraordinary efficiency and flexibility in a critical situation.

The result of the platform's work is access to high-quality educational materials for more than 1.9 million users and an improvement in parents' understanding of the quality of the preschool stage of children's development.

Carol for Charity

Christmas 2022 was completely different for Ukrainian children. Those who grew up in conflict-affected areas experienced multiple displacements, interruptions in education, stress and trauma. Children suffer the most in this war: families are separated, missile strikes hit civilian infrastructure and cities, often power cuts. In addition, they faced ongoing health risks and economic hardships as a result of the conflict.

In order to help children feel at least partially the atmosphere of support again, we decided to create an unusual project at Christmas, which, through positive associations, contributed to the collection of donations to help such children.

We chose Carol of the Bells — a Ukrainian song that has been giving Christmas cheer for more than 100 years and is known all over the world as a symbol of Christmas. Mykola Leontovich's arrangement in 1914 turned the folk song into the now iconic Carol of the Bells, enjoyed by millions of people around the world.

With this, we turned the famous carol into a donation platform using Shazam to help Ukrainian children affected by the war. Carol of the Bells was turned into Carol for Charity. We turned a famous carol into a donation platform by changing the lyrics of the song. Every time people heard a carol, they could shazam it and immediately, in just a couple of clicks, donate for Ukrainian children.

#LightUpUkraine

In December 2022, when Ukrainian cities were plunged into darkness by Russian shelling, the fundraising platform UNITED24 announced a fundraiser for generators for hospitals. To draw the world's attention to the blackouts in Ukraine when the world is lit up with Christmas lights, we asked 120 world-famous locations to turn off their lights on the darkest night of the year. #LightUpUkraine raised $3,980,558.95 to purchase 659 generators. 900 more generators were sent to Ukraine from the EU as a result of the campaign. In total, the campaign covered 1.9 billion contacts with $0 investment in media.

IMPOSSIBLE

“Impossible people made impossible efforts to achieve impossible results”— this is how history books will describe the work of the Ukrainian public sector during the war. Continuing to deliver medicines under fire to the occupied cities is the heroic work of Ukrainian activists, far away and invisible to international donors. To get resources for new emergency needs, CO 100% Life showed this invisible work to international organizations. Under challenges, a documentary was filmed and presented on the world’s largest conference AIDS 2022. “Impossible” movie paved the way for effective communication with world leaders and helped to raise millions of dollars in aid of Ukraine quickly.

Type of car Inclusive

The "Inclusive" car class is a completely new and comfortable opportunity for people who use a wheelchair to move around the city. According to open sources, there are approximately 2.7 million people with disabilities in Ukraine, most of whom use wheelchairs. Unfortunately, this number will only grow because of the war. Therefore, people need to have access to a simple and convenient car call to cover the need for transportation. The project has been successfully launched, received a large number of coverage and positive feedback, and continues to develop actively.

Helpline for Men

Seven out of ten men in Ukraine suffer from severe distress.

In simple terms, this is when a man "can't take it anymore", when it's time to seek help. At the same time, 96% of men claim that they are "doing fine".

The Helpline for Men was created to help and support those who are always "fine". But how to motivate men to seek help? This was a challenge and our main achievement. By using humor on the one hand and a deep understanding of men's problems on the other, we were able to exceed the KPI for successful consultations by 35% and make the world a slightly better place.

“Watch Your Step!” Campaign to raise awareness of Ukrainians about landlandmine danger

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Ukraine has been the focus of the world’s attention with dozens of organizations providing support. Many projects are dedicated to landmine danger: Ukraine is currently the most landmine-contaminated country in the world – about 180,000 square kilometers are mined. If Ukraine’s mined territories were a separate country, it would rank 91st out of 252 countries in terms of its area.

We found that no one was doing a mass-scale project in this field. We managed to create popular product, as a result of which one in five Ukrainians learned the basic landmine safety rules.

Nova Post Works

Nova Post is a logistics company that has been a leader in the field of express delivery in Ukraine for over 22 years. The company has become a reliable partner for Ukrainian businesses and private individuals.

In the first days of the war, the freight turnover of Nova Post decreased by 98% - to 30,000 parcels, while on February 23, the figure was 1.2 million parcels per day. Out of 8,000 branches, 900 were working, the rest of the branches in the east and south of the country were already occupied. Due to the destruction of the infrastructure, roadblocks, curfews, broken roads and significant traffic jams, it became difficult to deliver parcels, and instead of daily delivery it took 5-6 days.

But Nova Post continued to work every day where it was safe. So we had to communicate that all Ukrainians know: Nova Post did not stop. We work every day, and despite everything, we are ready to deliver parcels and goods both in Ukraine and abroad.

How we taught women to resist domestic and gender-based violence even in times of war

Since 2015, Break the Cycle has been helping Ukrainians to combat domestic and gender-based violence. However, with the outbreak of the war, all the progress had made was threatened - the level of stress increased, and violence became more frequent, the problem of domestic, gender-based violence was no longer noticed, because it was "out of time".


Launching a non-standard social campaign, we drew attention to issue of domestic violence again and achieved an 18% increase in the level of public rejection of violence. We brought Ukraine much closer to the main goal of zero tolerance for violence, even in wartime.

Ukrainians actively approached YASNO after Russia's missile attacks on the energy infrastructure. The company was not accountable for limits, disconnection schedules, etc., and people were unaware of this.

Negative feedback received was a sign of a threat to the reputation. Our communication was completely changed to preserve the brand's health and loyalty among current clients and those who first learned about YASNO. We managed to:

– Maintain trust in the brand (77% of surveyed consumers),

– Maintain a positive attitude (63%),

- In areas where YASNO operates and does not operate for the population, increase brand awareness by 10% to 14%.
