Riga Plaza:2009 summer sales campaign
Task:With ultra limited budget assigned to attract wary and price sensi-tive audience under conditions of fierce competition from the other malls and saturated communication space, which in most cases feature simplistic, copy based ’SALE SALE SALE’ or ’UP TO xx% OFF’ kind of communication.
Solution:A simple print based campaign was created with limited audience participation. Using the analogy between mushrooms and how quickly they grow we distributed attractive guerilla stickers to the existing mall clients and other people. So the stickers as well grew in numbers on the city streets like mushrooms. The mushrooms became hero of the campaign visually as well.
Other people involved:Pavel Sobek (Creative Director), Linda Jakobsone (Designer & Art Director), Ieva Raiskuma (Copywriter)

Snickers (Spring 2008): Snickers presents: Give us your spot and win real prizes!
Task:To design communication that would start to iconize the Snickers brand, by getting the target audience (16-24 y.o.) more involved and still not forgetting the Snickers experience.
Solution:An integrated web campaign based was created. Snickers encouraged the young and active people to post their favourite places where they do their thing (they call them ’spots’) and share them with the rest of the potential Snickers community thus creating the first real data base of spots in the Baltic countries. In return we offered them to win valuable prizes.

Snickers (Autumn 2008): Conquer Sahara with Snickers!
Task:To design a campaign that would continue building Snickers brand as the one fuelling the active experience.
Solution:Snickers gave the people hungry for adventures a chance to win a trip to Sahara (Siwa Oasis in Egypt) and have a good time there by involving them (and their friends) in quad-cycle riding, sand-boarding and pic-nic in the desert. Once again this was done with a little help of the web.

Snickers (early Spring 2008): Grab a Snickers, crack the code and take what’s yours!
Task:Stimulate sales for a short period of time (beginning of 2008) using only trade (POS) as the campaign media.
Solution:We created a web based campaign. The idea was to give something extra to the customer buying the special edition Snickers bar (with a unique code inside the wrapper). Like we granted them access to download exclusive web content from www.snickersaction.com. This included ring tones made exclusively for this Snickers campaign by well known local (Baltic) DJs and desktop wallpapers for their PCs.

Sheba: The secret language of your purrrrring friend..., Spring 2008
Task:Considering the Sheba sophisticated brand character to come up with idea how to add value to the product purchased.
Solution:We designed a booklet about the non-verbal language of cats that was distributed along with the product and came up with an additional solution for www.cosmo.lv (an on-line version of the Cosmopolitan magazine localised). We encouraged the women to send in photos of their “purring friends” and their interpretation of what they were saying. The photos received the biggest number of on-line votes earned prizes for the participant and her cat.

M&M´s:Autumn 2007 campaign
Task:The client wanted the product/brand to be seen as friendly, fun loving and wanted to drive it closer to the consumption occasions, which happen to be during socialisation moments among friends.
Solution:We designed again a web based campaign which would have a high degree of target audience involvement. We used other media to drive the interest to the web. On-line people were given the chance to upload their photos from their parties, family gatherings or other and play around with them using the interactive (Java) tools to spice them up, share them, save as wallpapers and send it to a friend. Here are the examples www.mmsfun.lv/#/tusini.

Rigas Laiks:Christmas greetings card
Task:Design a Christmas greetings card for a well known Latvian magazine, analytical issue about criticism of culture and it’s audience is exacting to intellectual quality.
Solution:We succeeded to create a card with multi-layered message, thus communicating Rigas Laiks brand within the scope that would further endorse the values (culture, philosophy, ideas) the magazine stands for. The copy is based on word play in Latvian. Rigas Laiks means Riga Times. Laiks in general means ’time’ and ’laikam’ is the word that links everything together due to its ’time’ meaning (having the link to the brand itself) and the ’presumably’, which gets the message across.

Kulturas Diena: JesusMe and my colleague Art Director Inga decided to publish this in the supplement to Diena (the major national news paper in Latvia) called Kulturas Diena (Culture Day) before Christmas. No copy, just this picture.
It was meant for our Christian society to think about the recently growing commercialisation of Christmas and the true values the festivity stands for.
