For over 100 years, Carol of the Bells has been synonymous with Christmas. However, many people are unaware that this iconic song originated from Ukraine. Mykola Leontovych, a Ukrainian composer, arranged a traditional Ukrainian folk song into the version we know today, in 1914.
To aid Ukrainian children affected by war, we transformed the beloved Carol of the Bells into
a donation platform using Shazam. The new version of the song, titled Carol for Charity, encourages listeners to Shazam itself and donate for children’s needs with just a few clicks.
“Carol for Charity” went viral in 11 countries. With the help of Publicis Groupe teams worldwide, it was featured on 22 radio stations and integrated directly into Christmas movies via bumper ads. Media and TV coverage further boosted the project’s popularity, leading to the song being played over 1,000,000 times.
The project received numerous awards at prestigious festivals such as Cannes Lions, LIA Awards, Mad Stars, The One Show, and Golden Drum.

We predicted the formation of pent-up demand in this category and, using AI technology, discovered the opportunity to cover a wider range of search queries to attract more potential clients.
We planned an unconventional SEO tactic “To search as they search” – create a website specifically for service consumers and optimize it based on how they search. It worked wonders in scaling PrivatBank’s presence in organic search results.
We conducted a detailed analysis of search queries based on the principle of “search as they search,” created new pages on the website according to them, generated ideas for relevant content using AI, and promoted these pages using links.
We exceeded the website traffic goal by 89% and the application submissions for the top 6 products by 96%, but more importantly – we increased the average revenue from the top 6 products by 28%, surpassing the average annual inflation rates in Ukraine.

At a time when the conventional approach is used in customer communication in the category of chocolate bars, we have managed to find our own viable solution – personalized communications with individual segments of a wide target audience. And this is what has delivered fantastic results – our market share has grown over as many as three months for the first time since the beginning of the lockdown. We have chosen to work on five segments that cover the majority of a wide audience aged 16-35. That said, however, we managed to appeal to each of them individually, to become closer and more relevant to their particular preferences. We have developed tailored solutions for each of them: packing, messages, media support, opinion leaders, and presents that meet interests. As a result, everyone had the opportunity to feel like a king in what this particular person was interested in. All these efforts have resulted in heightened attention, engagement in communication, and the main result – fantastic performance indicators!
Challenge: To check the decline in the brand’s market share by means of highly relevant communication that engages the audience.
Insight: While everyone else in the category is working with a wide audience (16 to 35), we can pave our own way of segmentation and personalization of the message.
Idea: Lion encourages you to feel like a king (Lion) in what you are interested in.
Bringing the Idea to Life: Tailored solutions for each of the five selected segments: from packing and message to communication channels and targeting.
Results: An increase in the market share by 1.7 percent after the start of the campaign due to the high engagement in communication.

read moreCan selfies overcome cancer? Children with it have a 90% chance of recovery. But only when they are provided with the necessary treatment. In Ukraine, due to lack of funding and social problems, this figure is much lower, so online donations are very important. Together with Tabletochki Charity Foundation, we decided to increase the number of such donations, making selfies less selfish. That’s how the #MoneyCanChallenge came about.
The participant “complemented” his face in the photo with a portrait from a banknote donated to the Tabletochki and passed the call to friends. The flash mob was picked up by users and brands, making it one of the main TV news in the country. Tabletochki raised a considerable amount of money for charity at no cost, turning the instrument of love for oneself into an instrument of love for others.

Meanwhile, Dirol was #2 brand and eventually fell into the stasis where ad investment maintained the existing level of brand awareness while losing its positions in brand usage, consideration, and market share. Yet, Dirol decided to refresh its positioning and appeal to a younger audience – Generation Z.
Looking for an interesting youth territory we came upon bloggers trend. A big part of the audience is not only interacting with blogger content but dreaming of becoming one. Willing to help people with video content we created a Dirol Blogger Academy. Participants of the project had the possibility to learn how to become a blogger with special lessons from popular influencers, and the winner got 1 mln. views on Youtube for promotion of personal channel.
This project reflected the audience’s dreams vowed prominent brand slogan “Dirol. Inspires with taste” and positively affected brand sales.
