53% of Ukraine’s economy depends on food and agricultural exports. Today, landmines occupy 30% of our land, which is twice the size of Portugal. Without global assistance, it will take decades to make it safe. Countless agricultural fields remain dangerous. People can’t work there.
The Minefields Honey Project ‒ the mix of nature and tech helps us to create a product that was never meant to exist by turning unsafe areas into flourishing gardens for symbolic honeymaking.
Personnel limited edition jars with details about our issue became a diplomatic tool and were given directly to influential people. The harvested honey became an invitation to fundraising events for Ukraine’s demining. The first 55 personnel jars were presented at special economic events such as World Economic Forum (Davos) and, USA-Ukraine Partnership Forum (Washington D.C.).
For now, the project has resulted in 175 000 000 impressions and numerous headlines with zero budget investments. It also received awards in huge international festivals such as Cannes Lions, KIAF, and others.
In 2024, Saatchi & Saatchi Ukraine, Kernel Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and the Union of Beekeepers of Ukraine gathered the new honey harvest to ensure the project’s continuation.

This is a relatively low figure, given that we are constantly under stress due to the war. Among the youth aged up to 35 years, as many as 40% experience fatigue and susceptibility to anxiety and depression.
Maybelline NY is not just a brand of decorative cosmetics but a lovemark for the youth, taking on a responsible social mission to support its audience in challenging times. In partnership with the charity foundation UA Mental Help, they launched the BraveTogether project, a psychological support initiative for youth.
It helps young people understand themselves and find ways to cope with various life issues. Through a hotline and a chatbot on Telegram, qualified psychological assistance is made accessible to everyone. Brand ambassadors – thought leaders of the young audience – have joined the project. The Zenith Ukraine team took charge of spreading information about the project.
For communication with the youth, digital channels were selected, and relevant Telegram channels, podcasts, and PR articles were chosen to thoroughly explain its capabilities to everyone. This media mix was crafted considering the high level of trust in personalities and resources, as well as the audience’s preferences in media consumption.
The chosen strategy worked excellently; more than 85% of our target audience (~4.1 million) learned about the Brave Together project. But most importantly, during the campaign period, there were over 16 000 unique interactions with the chatbot and through hotline. And the most crucial achievement is that 400+ people were trained to react in stress and about mental health.

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.
