KredoBank: The Right ASO for the Right Bank

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.

A la guerre comme a la guerre – Do your things with a French accent

The super-premium beer brand Kronenbourg has been building its attributes in the fashion territory for several years. This required large investments, but by differentiating from the main competitors, the brand gained growth in premium attributes year after year. 

In 2022, the brand showed a decline in sales for the first time ever. Therefore, in 2023, it was crucial to resume the communication of premium attributes to deliver its added value to consumers who prefer cheaper brands in times of economy. 

Understanding the irrelevance of fashion in the war, Publicis Groupe Content team with the Zenith Ukraine team helped Kronenbourg find its renewed meaning. The brand’s communication was based on supporting Ukrainian designers who continue creating and responding to the needs of society. In partnership with Vogue.ua, we created the Resilience & Social Impact nomination and provided real help to the laureates. 

Five Ukrainian brands received awards. Among the summer months, sales in August 2023 exceeded the 2021 level and showed a peak for the entire year. We maintained leading positions in key attributes, significantly surpassing competitors as “premium” and “modern.” And, of course, we reached a target audience of 7 500 000.

As a result of the campaign, we achieved more than reversing the downward trend in sales. We solved the Brand’s strategic task and found a new meaning in the fashion communication platform that meets the needs of society during the war.

How Visa Created a Community of Brands who care

In 2022 Visa, like other responsible brands, reevaluated its priorities, focusing efforts and resources on support. The company created a non-commercial platform that served as a forum for the coordinated efforts of Visa’s social initiatives and its partners, arising in response to numerous simultaneous needs.

The establishment of the Brands Who Care enabled the consolidation of media channels, businesses, foundations, and those needing assistance for effective aid and support. Visa directed its communication investments to support the platform, emphasizing timely messages on areas requiring immediate assistance. The campaign was created by the Saatchi & Saatchi Ukraine team.

To achieve maximum visibility, the initiatives were presented as Brands who care, rather than directly under the Visa name, which facilitated more effective interaction with the audience. The project garnered significant reach, with over 50,000,000 contacts.

Since the launch of the first collaborations, over 20 initiatives have been organized, and over 80 million hryvnias have been raised. Brands who care community continue to thrive and evolve as a community of socially responsible brands.

Plasticine stories on sensitive issues by Publicis Ukraine

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 ?

Virus orientation, originality, and non-standard merging of high technologies and additional customer care allowed Lenovo to be organically discussed in media and got 9.5 million impressions.

The Best Side of Molokiia

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.

DigiVision for SausageSnack

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.
