Project examples
We have prepared a strategy for the mobile application "My Land" in the Belgorod region, as well as easily scalable design solutions. They used the idea of contrast between the usual excursions and city entertainment, and the concept of adventure and the spirit of adventure formed the basis of the big idea.
For the AdVita charitable foundation, the communication strategy included the idea of making charity a useful human habit. We have also prepared a promotion strategy with online and offline media mix.
For the Syrobogatov brand, we built communication through the aesthetics of an art gallery, highlighting the connection between cheese and other achievements of Russian culture, as well as its contribution to the country's development. The core of the big idea is the slogan: "Cheese as cultural heritage: the wealth of each of us", which conveys the overarching concept of the ads campaign.
