The once elusive, now strongly emerging Russian middle class still prefers big, expensive cars, an obvious proof of its social success. Although most of them are in dire need of a second car, our potential customers showed virtually no interest in our Smarts. Our objective was to bring the most reluctant consumers to test drive the Smart and change their state of mind from "Smart is not really a car" into being true believers and advocates of the Smart.

Tochka Bank is special. It is an online-bank; it has no offices, no queues and no dress code. It does not tolerate any bureaucracy and it conducts payments 24/7. The most important thing is that they do not work at Tochka! At Tochka they create! Now the Bank is in search for those who feel the same way about work. They don’t need office robots, they need creative professionals with high levels of responsibility, initiative and self-consciousness. The film breaks the mold concerning common concepts of work. We have “not-a-resume”, “not-a-job-interview”, “not-colleagues”, “not-a-stuff-meeting”, because it’s all different at “not-work”!

Cashback service is not so surprising anymore. However, when the cashback by the payment system is summed up with the bank cashback and sales – that is impressive indeed! So is the incredible simplicity of how the money is returned to the card. The new commercial for MIR payment system features both amazing benefits. On the one hand, there is a grandeur speed march of bonuses, coins and bank notes, all of them symbolizing the scale of the offer. On the other one, there is a peaceful atmosphere of a home, far from the fuss and sales gold fever. That is true – why the hurry when bonuses and interest are themselves doing their best to get received on your card.

Our challenge was to launch the new 14nm mining ASIC chip on the market that's expecting 7nm chips. Yeah, it's that complicated. Customers are expecting something really small, but we delivered something better: a more powerful, more efficient and more reliable chip. Because it's not the size or the looks that matter, but the performance. Our creative idea was to compare complicated tech with people. Because when you are hiring, you don't look at gender, sex preferences, age or shirt size. You're looking at how good they are at what they do. That's what matters most.

Scania presents Angel Call, a unique mobile application that aims to improve highway safety by using an effective and efficient way for truck drivers’ nearest and dearest to help them stay awake while driving. Angel Call connects to the Scania Fleet Management system (which monitors the condition of their drivers on the road) and uses the most powerful means of saving a driver from falling asleep: the driver’s nearest and dearest, who act as guardian angels. Should the system detect that a driver has exceeded the labour requirement time limit for driving, it alerts the nominated angel who then calls the driver and keeps them company until they stop. This creative concept was developed by Geometry Global Moscow. Transforming mechanical, impersonal and sometimes irritating automated messages into a real person who cares was central to the success of the project.
