Mail of Tenderness from Milka

Economic and political crisis in 2014 lead to purchasing power reduction. As a result decline of the chocolate tablets market reached -23%*. In such difficult situation and being 20% more expensive than competitors, Milka had to explain consumer why Milka was worth buying. Decision comes in “emotion”. In contradiction to numerous price promotions of competitors, Milka launched the most emotional promo campaign.

Pepsi #sorry_mom

On the Ukrainian market Pepsi lags from Coca-Cola as 42% of people choose Coca-Cola, 19% choose Pepsi, and 39% are Switchers. Therefore, it is important for the brand not just to boost sales, but to build relationship with teenagers who are the core target audience of Pepsi.

A story about business challenge

A wise man decided to revive the glory of "Tavria" cognac - bring the brand back to life, increase sales, and grab the share in the new segment. 
And he decided: I won’t go that tried and tested way giving my cognac for the French, on the contrary, I will exploit the advantage, which used to be considered a disadvantage, - Ukrainian origin. Because the grapes for "Tavria" production grows in the steppe, caressed by the sun, that is why the drink made out of it has such an extraordinary mild taste. 
And the wise man launched a campaign, and after by the season results he saw that he did everything right, as the brand ranked the 1st position in the desired segment.

Linex of the first summer for winter brand

Linex - is a leader in the category of probiotics - medicines, that regulate the organism's microflora. Year after year, TV commercials and pharmacists recommendations have built up a stereotype with people: if you are taking antibiotics - you should compensate its negative consequences using Linex. Cold seasons are periods when antibiotics are consumed more often. So gradually Linex as a brand has become big, successful and... associated mostly with cold periods of the year.
Being an imported product, Linex was more than others negatively affected by the consequences of economic downturn  - even loyal consumers started to switch to a cheaper local analogues. By the end of winter season-2015 Linex market share dropped down to the historical low of 22%.  Under such a dramatic performance it was getting too dangerous to simply sit and wait for the next cold autumn season.
We decided that Linex should use upcoming summer season as a new communication territory. And our main challenge was to make this first summer Linex campaign as relevant as possible for our consumers. The fact the Linex team in Ukraine didn’t have assigned creative agency stimulated our creativity and the search of new executional ideas in media.
Linex pharmacological properties account for a great number of consumption occasions, that we haven't yet discussed with our target audience. Diarrhea, related to seasonal increase of fresh vegetables and fruits in the dietary intake, was chosen as a basis for the Linex summer communication.
Our target audience's tendency to the superficial self-treatment is well-known. While buying something "for the tummy" in the pharmacy, average Ukrainian first of all looks for a medicine to relief the symptoms. Using high level of awareness and advocacy of Linex brand we suggested an alternative approach during our summer campaign :  a medicine that would not only relief the symptoms but help to fight with the origins of the disease – problems with the microflora's imbalance.
To amplify the effect of our communication a spectacular and efficient solution was invented in OOH. We have created a concept of “bushboards” – regular billboards that were partially covered by nearby tree leaves of bushes.  A special message was placed on all carrier that had a direct idiomatic connotation with the disease: “Diarrhea? Do not hide in the bushes”. Tree crown that is normally trimmed by vendors has become our natural extender and also allowed to optimize cost of ad campaign by more than 50% . As a result  the idea of human body microflora protection in advertising resonated with real flora protection in a big and hot city.
Campaign results exceed all expectations. First Linex summer advertising campaign not only helped to stop market share deterioration but resulted in market share increase up to 13%. During the first week of ad campaign sales uplift was 21% - record breaking  performance for Linex marketing communication activities since 2013.  Linex discovered new seasonal opportunities to grow faster than the market and be less depended from periods of Cold&Flue

How to return sales volume in crisis in the declining market with the highest price in the category? The main problem that faced Pimafucin, medicine for vaginal thrush, is lack of knowledge among women about the disease and unwillingness to discuss that.

Fine Territory communication

To strengthen the position of MTS Ukraine in the western region of the country, we've developed a separate full-fledged communication program "Lviv — the territory of fine communication" to inform people of all tariffs of the western region.
The program had its special language of communication with consumers, different from the one used in national campaigns: tariff Smartphone Zero, Fine tariff, ZadurnO (for free). Dzidzio band was chosen to be the main heroes of the communication. Being the brightest representatives of the local flavor, they recommended MTS Ukraine tariffs, thus allowing the brand to gain trust and loyalty of lvivians. All communication had its own visual identity, distinct from the brand's national brandbook.
With its launch, the program has surpassed all expectations and has shown excellent results right from the start.

We have set the task to create a deep, emotional TVC, which would touch every viewer. And this how the TVC idea appeared: "There is nothing more important than sharing stories with your family."
The proposed solution not only increased the number of calls, but also raised highly social topic that was actively discussed.

Kyivstar. Free roaming

In 2014, the popularity of roaming service has significantly decreased because of the economic and political crisis. Kyivstar launched a new product "Free Roaming", but consumers were completely not aware of this tariff. Our solution was to integrate brand in all stages of tourist’s preparation for the trip, using opinion leaders. The key element was popular Ukrainian travel TV show "Heads and Tails", while TV hosts of the program became our brand ambassadors. We went out of the scope of the program and used TV hosts in other communication channels.

Operation OLX-ation!

“Operation OLX-ation” case describes situation of finding new brand growth source. After 1.5 year of intensive growth we faced the understanding that further growth of users entering OLX through a desktop version will not be as rapid. In the closest period a slowed organic 5-7% growth of the service use from stationary computers and laptops was forecasted.
The growth of the mobile app use was chosen as a key direction of the long-term brand strategy. The launch of 3G in Ukraine announced in spring 2015 suggested new opportunities for all market players. That’s why on the first stage it was utterly important to inform users of all possibilities and advantages of using OLX mobile app and to set growth rates for all “mobile” indicators.

Shopping mood

Our task was to create the Internet shop “Chicardi” for girls. But we didn’t want to make the regular Internet shop. We decided to make it special and added short videos displaying our handsome, charismatic sellers packaging products which you just bought.  
The results were incredible. The average bill increased to 200%, girls charred our website persuading friends to buy something. Thus increased brand awareness and brought new clients. Our goal was reached as well, we brought that “offline shopping feeling” to the online and got smiles on girls faces.

OLX – Rent and Sell Anything!

This case describes the situation that faces OLX brand at the beginning of 2015 in its Real Estate section. It has leading position by visitors number among all online services but was low-efficient  - the realtors used OLX to duplicate their ads and place “fakes” without being interested in real feed-back; the users has no hope for a quick success in finding a real offer from a property owner. Brand find strategic solution in changing the product and its quality. We set a limit on the number of free ads and offered paid advertisement packages for those who wants to sell more. Building relevant communication in media mix allowed to inform all 2 target groups about changes.As the result, the quality and liquidity indexes of Real Estate section grew up more than 1.5 times that satisfied OLX users, realtors and the platform.

Opening of “Dog Ate Dove"

Kyiv restaurant “Dog ate dove” opened simultaneously with numerous competitors. To stand out  we chose a channel of communication with the possibility of precise targeting–facebook and launched a teaser campaign.  Before the opening we created a community “Dog ate dove” without mentioning about the restaurant where we published posts about the fusion of “old and new”. During opening day we invited all the members of the community and mentioned the restaurant for first time.
We intrigued and reached a goal: 700 visitors at the opening (7 times more than planned), every 0,19 $ invested in advertising converted into 1 visitor, investments returned during first 3 months.

Во времена настоящей информационной войны 21-го века, когда все прикованы к экранам телевизоров и обновляют новостную ленту Facebook раз в 30 секунд, было сложно донести какую-либо информацию не касающуюся войны. Когда каждый пытался найти правду в море пропаганды, лжи и просто выдумок, мы призвали не доверять глазам, а только своему сердцу.Так появился слоган кампании “Заплющ очі. Дивись серцем” и ее символ — черная повязка на глаза.

Sunny Bible: Mountains in the sea

Bukovel is Ukraine's principal ski resort with millions of tourists visiting it in the winter. However, summer brings considerably less visitors as Ukrainians traditionally do not see mountains as a summer resting location and prefer the sea.
So, how could a ski resort draw people in the summer? By creating a sea of its own!
How realistic is it for a place with no sea to sell itself as a sea rest? Quite so. And earn $1141 for every meter of the beach too.“Sea in the Mountains” campaign turns a lake into a sea, a winter resort into the most popular beach in the country, and, ultimately, Bukovel into an all-year-round resort.

OKKO - experiment

The main marketing struggle in the market of full service filling stations in Ukraine is carried out between OKKO and WOG networks. In addition to fuel, they also actively promote additional services and products, which bring a significant part of the profit.
The task was set before the agency: to build up OKKO's competent and significant presence on the background of the already successful communication “The coffee-est coffee at WOG”.
To achieve this goal, it was decided to conduct a “blind” experiment — we invited professional barista, bakers and chefs to taste the products at OKKO stations. They were able to appreciate the quality and taste of food and drinks at OKKO, and the campaign itself has shown excellent results

McHappy Day

"McHappy Day" is an annual charity program. It is held every November since 2002 in all McDonald’s restaurants in Ukraine. For the previous 12 years results have been growing, but 2014 turned to be tough. With an unstable political and economical situation, huge amount of volunteer organizations gathering money McHappy Day appeared to look less significant.
Objectives for 2014 year campaign:

- Fundraising during the McHappy Day program in November 2014 an amount of 3 500 000 UAH to have a possibility making the purchase of specialized ambulance for the Amosov Institute.
- To increase awareness of the charity program "Happy Day at McDonald's" for at least 10 points.
After the campaign was launched, the results exceeded the expectations.
- Fundraising exceeded the plan and it was gathered 4 601 021 UAH which is more than was expected.
- With the help of image communication an awareness of the charity program was increased from 6% (data in October 2014) till 34% (data in December 2014).
The money was spent to purchase the ambulance which is already helping to save children's lives. We are doing it already for 13 years in Ukraine. And we will continue.

To achieve UNICEF goals — reaching 60% of teens and increasing in-hospital HIV tests by 50%, we launched a narrow-targeted erotic advertising in Vkontakte that led to a videosite, where teenagers had virtual unprotected sex, and then received SMS messages from an online partner with information about HIV infection and testing. Results: 78% audience coverage and 2,5 times increase in clinic tests.

While everyone was occupied with the search for truth among propaganda, lies and purely unreal information, we called upon the people not to trust their eyes, but only to their hearts. So the campaign slogan appeared “Close your eyes. Watch with your heart” and a symbol of black eye bandage.

Ukrainian market of business education is not growing, and competition for students is becoming tenser. How to attract more students to kmbs if its MBA programs are the most expensive among all Ukrainian competitors?
We decided not to talk about traditional management instruments like management, marketing, finance etc. Instead, we communicated about perspectives opened by studying at kmbs. Since kmbs provides environment for development of leaders, who think and act in a fundamentally different way, and see the things that are not seen by the others.
As a result, students’ inflow kmbs programs doubled vs our initial targets!

Для того, чтобы нас услышали все мамы, в ТВ ролике мы выбрали формат, который позволял нам показать, как можно больше героев и ситуаций потребления, блюд, которые можно сделать вместе с сосисками. Чтобы каждая мама узнала себя или своих близких. Так родилась история о лете, комарах, курицах в огороде, папином завтраке, маленьких плавчихах, одинокой остановке в лесу, ночном автобусе… и о мамах, которые могут побаловать себя минуткой отдыха. Благодаря “Филейным”.

Like a DJ

Hansa is an expert in kitchen appliances. By the end of 2013, Hansa was one of the leaders on the market of stoves in Ukraine. But it has small share in the category of built-in hobs and ovens. Thus Hansa commits the challenge to make a leap in development of the most perspective direction of modern built-in kitchen appliances.
To achieve this, we have selected new and the most modern product line of Hansa and cardinally changed brand positioning.

Opening of “Dog Ate Dove"

Kyiv restaurant “Dog ate dove” opened simultaneously with numerous competitors. To stand out  we chose a channel of communication with the possibility of precise targeting–facebook and launched a teaser campaign.  Before the opening we created a community “Dog ate dove” without mentioning about the restaurant where we published posts about the fusion of “old and new”. During opening day we invited all the members of the community and mentioned the restaurant for first time.
We intrigued and reached a goal: 700 visitors at the opening (7 times more than planned), every 0,19 $ invested in advertising converted into 1 visitor, investments returned during first 3 months.

Cheese Art School

Lactalis is a world leader in cheese manufacturing, but in Ukraine it occupies a small market share in the category of elite cheeses with the brands President and Galbani. The reason is that Ukrainians know primarily only Russian and Dutch cheeses. Thus we have faced the challenges to create a culture of elite cheeses consumption (Camembert, Brie, feta, mozzarella etc.), to grow loyalty and to increase sales of President and Galbani.
Knowledge is better to acquire in school. This is why the Cheese Art School has been created! This idea has laid into the basis of principally new promotion system in cheese category, and for the first time united all possible communication channels.

“Operation OLX-ation” case describes situation of finding new brand growth source. After 1.5 year of intensive growth we faced the understanding that further growth of users entering OLX through a desktop version will not be as rapid. In the closest period a slowed organic 5-7% growth of the service use from stationary computers and laptops was forecasted.
The growth of the mobile app use was chosen as a key direction of the long-term brand strategy. The launch of 3G in Ukraine announced in spring 2015 suggested new opportunities for all market players. That’s why on the first stage it was utterly important to inform users of all possibilities and advantages of using OLX mobile app and to set growth rates for all “mobile” indicators.

Results: 78% audience coverage and 2,5 times increase in clinic tests.

Magnicor brand communication launch campaign

Your brand is a Ukrainian antithrombotic medicine without advertising history. Two big international brands invest in advertising heavily and dominate the market with 87 per cent volume share altogether. The situation is set in crisis-stricken fall of 2014. What shall be done?
Magnicor (KVZ) answered the call by developing brand positioning and launching nationwide ad campaign.
Can anyone grow in both share and volume on the shrinking market? Can you get from lowest ranks to number 2 in the category or even become a leader in the category?
Yes, you can if the TA analysis helped you find a strong consumer insight and correct message tonality. And the message is tailored to medical video style and differentiates your communication from the competition.
Do you need to outgun your competition on the advertising budget to become a category leader?
Not necessary. Sometimes to get there it is enough to analyze media consumption of the TA and concentrate efforts on the single communication channel. In Magnicor’s case, it was TV.
The results: sales volume increased 10-fold after the 6-week TV campaign. It helped Magnicor become the leader in antithrombotic medicine category in both volume and calue (UAH) by the end of December 2014.

Set-up of e-commerce system for VOLIA

Volia is a leading nationwide telecommunications provider. The market of telecommunications providers in Ukraine is high-tech and very competitive. According to deep Internet penetration in Ukraine (about 68%) Volia considered web-channel as a strategically important tool to attract new subscribers. Our challenge was to build and enhance it as much as possible. Analyzing the results, we faced with lots of questions:
Why the increase of traffic doesn’t convert into sales increase? Why offline ad messages don’t work  online? Where to find a relevant user? How to convince users to order services on the web-site?
That is why we had to transform our strategy from monthly planning tools (as it was before) into the complex long-term approach in order to build an effective online-channel to attract new clients, to increase the share of the channel in total volume and to achieve sales KPIs.

Task: To stop market share falling by attracting more status target audience, and, at the same time, not to lose the existing consumers. 
Solution: To speak about the common thing for all men – their work. To create an ode in honor of those who turn the Earth by their daily work. 
Results: Khlibnyi Dar attracted new consumers and retained the existing ones. Its market share increased from 18.4% to 20.7% and the number of loyal consumers became the largest in the alcohol market.

Sunny Bible: Mountains in the sea

Bukovel is Ukraine's principal ski resort with millions of tourists visiting it in the winter. However, summer brings considerably less visitors as Ukrainians traditionally do not see mountains as a summer resting location and prefer the sea.
So, how could a ski resort draw people in the summer? By creating a sea of its own!
How realistic is it for a place with no sea to sell itself as a sea rest? Quite so. And earn $1141 for every meter of the beach too.“Sea in the Mountains” campaign turns a lake into a sea, a winter resort into the most popular beach in the country, and, ultimately, Bukovel into an all-year-round resort.

Linex of the first summer for winter brand

Linex - is a leader in the category of probiotics - medicines, that regulate the organism's microflora. Year after year, TV commercials and pharmacists recommendations have built up a stereotype with people: if you are taking antibiotics - you should compensate its negative consequences using Linex. Cold seasons are periods when antibiotics are consumed more often. So gradually Linex as a brand has become big, successful and... associated mostly with cold periods of the year.
Being an imported product, Linex was more than others negatively affected by the consequences of economic downturn  - even loyal consumers started to switch to a cheaper local analogues. By the end of winter season-2015 Linex market share dropped down to the historical low of 22%.  Under such a dramatic performance it was getting too dangerous to simply sit and wait for the next cold autumn season.
We decided that Linex should use upcoming summer season as a new communication territory. And our main challenge was to make this first summer Linex campaign as relevant as possible for our consumers. The fact the Linex team in Ukraine didn’t have assigned creative agency stimulated our creativity and the search of new executional ideas in media.
Linex pharmacological properties account for a great number of consumption occasions, that we haven't yet discussed with our target audience. Diarrhea, related to seasonal increase of fresh vegetables and fruits in the dietary intake, was chosen as a basis for the Linex summer communication.
Our target audience's tendency to the superficial self-treatment is well-known. While buying something "for the tummy" in the pharmacy, average Ukrainian first of all looks for a medicine to relief the symptoms. Using high level of awareness and advocacy of Linex brand we suggested an alternative approach during our summer campaign :  a medicine that would not only relief the symptoms but help to fight with the origins of the disease – problems with the microflora's imbalance.
To amplify the effect of our communication a spectacular and efficient solution was invented in OOH. We have created a concept of “bushboards” – regular billboards that were partially covered by nearby tree leaves of bushes.  A special message was placed on all carrier that had a direct idiomatic connotation with the disease: “Diarrhea? Do not hide in the bushes”. Tree crown that is normally trimmed by vendors has become our natural extender and also allowed to optimize cost of ad campaign by more than 50% . As a result  the idea of human body microflora protection in advertising resonated with real flora protection in a big and hot city.
Campaign results exceed all expectations. First Linex summer advertising campaign not only helped to stop market share deterioration but resulted in market share increase up to 13%. During the first week of ad campaign sales uplift was 21% - record breaking  performance for Linex marketing communication activities since 2013.  Linex discovered new seasonal opportunities to grow faster than the market and be less depended from periods of Cold&Flue

Rich Limited Editions

Working in oversaturated category, with a lot of players who occupy the shelf by expanding the taste offers, Rich has set a goal to take second place in the premium juices category. Decision was not simply to extend taste offers, but to create new consumption situations. In the winter time there were punch and mulled wine alcohol-free. In the summer time - tropical fruit cocktails. Rich offered even more reasons to enjoy life. The accent was placed on sampling and as a result of the campaign all the objectives have been exceeded and new points of sales were activated.
