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.

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.

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 ?
