And we, Tochka Bank, know it, because it’s our life too. Film advertisement created by Voskhod, Russia for Tochka Bank, within the category: Finance.

Visitors of webrifle.org could control a robotized rifle with a touchpad and “shoot” real people with a tap on a space button in real time. The social experiment had a goal to understand if people are responsible enough to own guns without any gun control. They simply gave out guns to everyone. Activists closed a small city square for a day and brought actors to make it as real as possible. Most of the shooters were gun owners. There was also a live chat where experimenters could see people’s reaction. Shooters were shocked since they were thinking they had killed someone for real. Most of them wrote that now they would think twice before taking a gun in their hands. Out of 254 shooter almost every 27 took the shot. The project was named Every27th and turned into a campaign against gun violence.

By 2024, 94% of accountants and auditors will no longer have a job. However, those working in the arts and design are at less risk from automation. Inspired by Isaac Asimov’s, ‘First Law of Robotics,’ which states: a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, we have created a bot to help humans with their professional survival. The bot scans and prints messages using port 9100, which printers all over the world are connected to. The message urges users to retrain with a Skillbox UX design course, created by Michael Janda, author of “Burn Your Portfolio.” The target audience are financial professionals and other roles that involve a lot of paperwork and rely on printers.

Nature's Table is a new brand of natural food for cats and dogs. The quality of ingredients for Nature’s Table is so high that it meets the standards of food safety for people, and this quality ensures excellent taste that does not need to be masked by artificial flavors. But in reality, people wouldn’t want to share a bowl of food with their dog or cat. And we decided to go the other way - to offer the owners a way to treat their pets and share the dinner with them without harm to health. So we opened “Plate and Bowl” Café by Nature’s Table: not just a pet-friendly cafe, but a human-friendly cafe for dogs on the territory of a farm market.

More than meets the eye – this motto is one of the main principles of the Transformers universe. It’s not that easy to play the game where fiction becomes part of a reality in ALL brand communications. But we did it. We live in the world where images, video and sound rule, we observe how text formats become obsolete. We get used to new formats in all possible spheres… And we can hardly find anything as boring as time-honored radio commercials… But what if we HACK them? ...And break the air by one of the most iconic sounds for today’s progressive audience — the voice of Optimus Prime! ...And the date of the hack coincides with the most important media event in Russia – the president’s call-in show. On 15th June 2017 we organized numerous broadcast breaks on 3 leading radiostations in Russia – Maximum, DFM and Hit FM. The audience reacted immediately: the official pages of the radio stations in social media were flooded with comments asking what was going on. Journalists noticed our activity too – the interruption of radio broadcast with strange sound can hardly stay unnoticed. And, of course, the linked it to another event of the day – the President’s call-in show! Thus Transformers hacked not only the air of 3 radio stations, but many, many more major media. We got mentioned in 250 media and popular communities in social networks. Yandex.News – Russia’s major news aggregator – ranged our case as TOP news on Science and tech. The overall campaign reach exceeded 100,000,000. And what’s even more important… once again we reminded our audience that transformers are more than meets the eye.

New Lada Granta “Keeping The Word” launch campaign Lada Granta is a legendary car in Avtovaz lineup and one of the top-3 best-selling cars on the Russian market. However, it has the cheapest price among other models and therefore appreciated as a multipurpose vehicle for daily use, not a dream car. Research shows that people are losing trust in ads. They tend to believe in stories told by real people. That is why we created true life stories about real people who keep their promises. Stories that got under the skin and into the heart of our audience and caused the unprecedentedly warm response. Many people across Russian regions live simple lives not asking for recognition, money or fame. They do what they have to do, and often do it for others, disregarding their own needs. Such is the Russian common folk is. No matter the circumstances and difficulties he faces, he will keep his word, once given. He is reliable, unpretentious, honest, and humble. Selfless acts are common and expected of him. His close ones depend on him. You can rely on him, but he can rarely rely on his car, which is usually an either a poorly built one or an old one. Reliable person needs a reliable car. We elevate the everyday challenges of our everyday hero to the level of deep human drama, and we celebrate those who keep their word no matter the circumstances. As a result, VTR and CTR were 2-4 times above market norm and the average viewing time was 75%, 3 times greater than the 30” benchmark defined for video of automotive segment.

A new sea food brand was created and put on the shelves of supermarkets in Anapa, a coastal city. However, instead of actual food there was a rubbish, caught in the sea off the coast in Anapa. A sea cocktail of tins, Black sea mix of plastic bottles, cigarette stubs as sea bulls and a seafood salad with plastic bags – all this could be found on the shelves in shops during the campaign which ended with a city-wide community work day. The design of the package was created using the most frequent rubbish found in sea – plastic bottles, cups and bags, cigarette stubs and tins. This rubbish was put through a linocut after being colored with typographic colors. Final images were photoshopped and used in the packaging.

Ural Music Night is Russia’s big event that takes place in Ural. 1 night, 2 000 musicians, 100 stages, 50 music genres. And only one identity, suitable for any venue from the Opera theatre to a fancy bar. The festival’s transforming identity changes its character depending on the musical genre. It is based on an image of a street ad poster – where different posters overlap each other and artists, events and genres hurry to change one another. Every festival’s ad poster seems to be assembled from pieces of different posters, and paper contours remind us of the easily recognized silhouettes of the Ural Mountains.
