Goals

The Credo Bank team decided to update the mobile app to modernize its design and add new daily banking services to meet the needs of users of the bank’s products. An additional goal was to increase the app’s rating in the AppStore (2 points) and Google Play (3 points) to at least 4 points. Our task was to carry out a set of measures for ASO optimization of pages in the AppStore and Google Play: to increase trust through ratings, improve organic visibility, and increase conversion to installation by at least 20%.

Challenge

Updating a mobile app for a bank is a strategic step, so all the details must be taken into account. In the banking category, 56% of users choose an app for daily banking (source: PACE Panel, 2025), and each star in the rating represents trust that converts into installs. Kredobank faced a challenge: the app had become much better, but the previous UX (user experience) had left behind low ratings and negative reviews. An additional challenge for us and the bank’s team was the decision to publish the updated app on the existing AppStore and Google Play pages, which is more difficult than creating pages from scratch.

We were faced with the task of breaking down the bias formed by the previous version and showing the true face of the updated Kredobank.

Insight and strategy

In the banking category, the decision to install is made in seconds: not based on a list of features, but on trust. Users look at the rating, the first screens, the tone of communication, and instantly decide: “Is this my bank or just another set of promises with asterisks?”

Kredobank already had a clear positioning of “proper banking”: simple conditions, fair rules, no hidden nuances. This idea became the basis of the strategy: ASO should not just increase visibility, but translate this philosophy into the language of stories. Make content, texts, and visuals as honest and understandable as the product itself. To turn the page into an extension of the brand’s character, where every element confirms the image of “correctness.”

Execution

We started with a deep dive. The ASO audit included comparing Kredobank’s page with 15 market-leading competitors, checking compliance with store requirements, and evaluating technical indicators. We analyzed everything: from content to adaptability on different devices, from ratings and reviews to external links.

Visual audit: We moved to a modern creative format, where daily banking and key banking products became the priority. The new design helped to better reveal the value of the updated application.

The most interesting part began with working on the content. Using technical tools and AI, we identified user behavior patterns and collected over 600 relevant keywords, evaluating their monthly frequency of use. Every word and every phrase in the title, subtitle, and description now worked for visibility and conversion, reflecting the intentions of the target audience.

When preparing creatives, we found that video has a decisive impact on the user experience, in particular through the use of the “events” tool as an element of visual marketing in ASA. We created all visuals with storytelling in mind so that all materials worked as a single story: from the first glance to the install.

Advertising activity through Google Ads, Meta, ASA, and TikTok supported the overall momentum, and UX solutions became the “voice” of the updated product: the Kredobank team worked out trigger chains of push notifications in the app, which helped to get high ratings with a truly good experience with the app.

Results

After several months of fruitful work and technical implementations, we saw noticeable results by the end of December 2025:

• Organic visibility improved significantly, and the app began to rank for a greater number of queries (+36%), allowing new users to find our brand.
• The app’s rating increased significantly: +95% in the AppStore (from 2 to 3.9) and +38% in Google Play (from 3 to 4.2) and continues to grow in 2026.
• Most importantly, we increased the conversion rate from view to install by 25%.

The story of Credo Bank is about how the right communication in stores can reveal the true value of a product. The synergy of ASO, visual, and technical solutions transformed outdated perceptions into trust.

The rating has grown in line with improvements in the updated product, and organic visibility has begun to function as a stable source of new user acquisition.

In November 2023, Ukraine celebrated the 10th anniversary of the start of the Revolution of Dignity – an event that significantly influenced the country’s development trajectory.

However, even after 10 years and a full-scale invasion there is still a barrier of misunderstanding between Ukrainians and Europeans. On one hand, most EU citizens agree with the statement that “Ukraine should join the EU when ready.” At the same time, russian propaganda portrays Ukraine as an incapable state and works to sow division within the EU.

A step towards overcoming this barrier of mutual understanding was to be a joint symbolic communication campaign that through the example of the Revolution of Dignity would demonstrate that Ukrainians feel and share European values. Given the tendency to avoid news about Ukraine in Germany, especially negative ones, the campaign aimed to facilitate the publication of quality materials that would reveal context and convey embedded messages.

Since Europeans do not completely believe that they are similar with Ukrainians, perhaps it is worth communicating our common values through the universal language of humanity. It sounds “right” and is understood in various social contexts worldwide. And that language is music.

During the Revolution of Dignity music united, supported, and inspired. Blue and yellow piano “Ukraine” not only served as a musical instrument but also became a physical and symbolic barrier between forces and peaceful protesters. Considering the deep symbolism of the piano the Publicis Ukraine and MSL Ukraine team proposed to create a cultural event alongside another symbolic monument, but for Germans, the iconic Brandenburg Gate.

The culmination of the event was the performance of the EU anthem “Ode to Joy,” in a four-hand rendition as a poignant symbol of Ukraine’s inevitable accession to the European family.

The campaign generated over 50 publications in leading German media, including online, print, and 11 features on major TV channels. The total non-unique publication coverage exceeded 486,100,000, with unique coverage reaching 40,500,000 — all without any media investments. Additionally, the event served as a platform for conveying important messages by official figures.

There are problems too uncomfortable and embarrassing to talk about. It is unpleasant even to think about them, nor to say out loud that you have constipation. Even in the circle of close ones, you’d rather hide somewhere than talk. But you can’t hide from it.

Guttalax picosulfate is a drug created specifically to solve this delicate problem of constipation. And Publicis Ukraine team with Sanofi Ukraine has had to create a concise communication for it.

The team faced a task to carefully uncover the problem and at the same time work with the stereotype that digestive problems arise solely from an unbalanced diet. The truth is that constipation can rise because of several factors such as stress, traveling, climate change, lack of physical activity, and after the course of specific medications.

The team chose plasticine and animation. And the whole process was made by a team in-house. They composed the plasticine, wrinkled and shooted everything ?

In Ukraine, Pride events do not have a long history. COVID-19 in 2020 made it even more difficult, as all Pride events were canceled and switched to online, which reduced the audience dramatically. Online involves only LGBTQ+ activists. Offline Pride events are a moment of visibility for a wide audience. KyivPride and Saatchi & Saatchi had a difficult task – during a pandemic they needed a campaign that spread online Pride events across the country.

We hacked the tallest European statue, the iconic Motherland Monument, with the help of drones and the Dronarium Ukraine team we attached a huge rainbow flag to its sword in real-time. The statue’s symbolism was transformed – from the protection of Soviet values to human rights protection and raising awareness of gender equality. It was an upside-down shift in symbolism that immediately resonated with society.

The task was to make our Pride event visible in Kyiv during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. But our stunt made Kyiv’s Pride visible all over the world with more than 100 million impressions in the first three days. The Motherland Monument stunt was recognized as the EVENT OF THE YEAR in Ukraine & Eastern Europe.

The Motherland Pride won several awards in the biggest world festivals on creativity and efficiency, such as Effie Awards Ukraine 2021, Cannes Lions 2021 and 2022, Andy Awards 2021, Golden Drum 2021, AD Stars 2021, D&D 2022, and The One Show 2022.

Molokija has found the solution in the situation with a quite limited advertising budget and persistently strong competitors’ activity. The Brand has stood out and found its own communication niche in the category.

Rebranding has been conducted, which led to changes in product packaging so that the product ingredients are now the most important highlighted detail. The aforementioned changes along with elaborately planned cross-media activity led us to the significant increase in OFF-TAKE indexes. As a result, both the White Yoghurt and Kefir became No. 1 in terms of market share in hryvnias as well as in tonnages in the period from February till May 2021.

Pa-pa-pa pa-pam pa-pa-pam pa-pa-pam… Where did it come from? This music fills the city… This music fills with sense!..

To refresh the citizens’ view of classical music, we have created a slogan, logo, and identity for a series of open-air concerts — Classic Picnic. There are enough seats for everyone and admission is free!

Get inspired with us and sound with the city!

We faced a challenge to break into the everyday life of people with a new product Kabanosy – long, thin sausages made from natural meat, positioned in between the meat-sausage and snack category. Until 2019 the product was unknown to both Ukrainian customers and distributors. Retail shops didn’t understand in which division the product should be sold, customers were puzzled whether to make sandwiches or eat Kabanosy with beer.

New product inspired us for a new approach for mixing media channels. We turned the classical media mix upside down and developed “DigiVision”, where digital plays a leading role in generating reach and TV is playing a secondary role. Non-standard and effective usage of media allowed Kabanosy to become a leader of the category of Snack and Meat products with minimal investment and significantly grew monthly sales.
