Sokovinka: Sokovinka vs Zlynka

The whole soft drink category in Ukraine communicate with young people. But Sokovinka is bought by adults. Our drink helps them to sweeten their weekdays. Weekdays when you can catch the “zlynka”. That’s like feeling angry, but only a bit. When someone leaves dirty dishes on a table, when you’re having a hard day or standing in a long queue in a shop. In such situations our drink is the one to succour. It helps to cool down, become softer and, thanks to the sweet taste, releases much more “feel-good” chemicals. Thats why we decided not to talk about techno parties, the Kanye West’s new drop or summer parties until the morning. We decided to talk honestly – about ‘’zlynka’’ situations which our Sokovinka smoothes.

Ajax Systems: When security is art

Dangerous scenes look fascinating in movies. Disasters, burglaries, fires — seeing them on a comfortable couch, we feel on edge yet secure. But real life doesn’t offer the second take. So we’ve made a movie about everyday life where Ajax plays the leading role. He is certainly not a master of drama, but no doubt, he is the best in class when security is art.

MasterCard: Mastercard Vibes

MasterCard Experiential Ad - Mastercard Vibes

TASK: To make Mastercard a multi-sensory brand by building a new channel of brand communication with the audience through senses that have not previously been used for advertising purposes. Engage the Atlas Weekend audience and reach an additional 1.5 million target audience with minimal media costs.

SOLUTION: Let those who are unable to hear the sound—feel the sound. We invited the American music translator, Amber Galloway Gallego. Amber is the author of a unique style of translating music into sign language. At the event, she conducted a series of trainings for a Ukrainian team of sign language translators who also contributed to interpreting performances. At a special sensor field called #MastercardVibes, visitors with hearing impairments were able to feel the music through special built-in areas. Sound was experienced as never before, with some feeling its vibrations through touch. Special SubPac ripple vests made it possible to feel deep bass frequencies throughout the entire body.

RESULTS: The total media coverage of the project was 17,455,039, which is 872% more than planned. More than 200 hearing impaired people took advantage of the #MastercardVibes activity. More than 100 songs were translated during the performances. Over 70 media resources lighted up the information for free. Thanks to a master class from Amber Galloway Gallego and her team, a new profession has emerged in Ukraine—sign language interpreters specializing in translating music.

Greenpeace Print Ad - A Regular Weapon

In Russia, lethal weapons are either forbidden or their sale is strictly regulated. However, there is no law to control the sale of another deadly weapon that all of us can access. Widespread and powerful, it causes numerous deaths on a daily basis. Over 90% of all plastic ever produced has not been recycled. ?nd when it was not recycled it turned into a weapon. Bottles, packs, earsticks. tubes and all of the plastic products every day turn from helpers to killers, but the hands in this blood are still our hands, hands of all humanity. These prints were part of the wide-scale campaign aimed at raising awareness of the situation. We want to talk with people about plastic, we want to show that using such things requires responsibility, we want to explain that all of us take part in this process day by day and we need to stop.
