The Challenge

GREAT is a creative agency from St. Petersburg with a 30-year history. The agency ranks among the top 3 in the AKAR rating and holds the top position in the creative agency ranking by Rating Runet. GREAT’s projects have won at E+, Red Apple, White Square, Silver Mercury, ADCR, and other international and Russian festivals. The agency’s portfolio includes more than one hundred awards, among them Cannes Lions, Epica Awards, Clio, Red Dot, ADCE, Globes, and others.

Adapting the brand platform to Russian cultural context.

The new brand hero had to be quickly adjusted to different creative ideas and formats.

Accelerating production without losing quality.

 

The Solution

Uniqueness

Without neural networks, characters are created based on references. In this case, it’s not always possible to stray far enough from them. The character is likely to carry traits of various familiar characters that formed the basis of its design. However, a neural network trained on thousands of images combines the desired features into a completely new creation. In nearly every generation, we produced characters that were difficult to compare with any existing ones.

Thus, with the help of the neural network DALL-E, the creative team at Great achieved the one and only Zewa Domovenok.

Customizability and Flexibility. Speed of work.

The created image of Domovenok was flexibly refined, allowing for easy integration into various marketing materials.

Once the character design was completed, the team used the result as a foundation for further 3D visualizations and advertising scripts. Thanks to Phygital+, the process of creating the character and obtaining client approval took just a week. This was achieved without compromising quality, allowing for the exploration of multiple options and resulting in excellent output.
Creative Upscale

“This was our first experience working with AI, and we immediately appreciated the convenience – using AI greatly optimizes the process, saves resources for both the agency and the client, and most importantly, allows us to see an almost final version right away! We ended up with a fantastic character that our audience, colleagues, and clients all loved. We keep hearing how cute it is. Of course, it’s important that the character not only brings delight but also creates a desire to watch the entire video and buy the product.”

The Result

The use of neural networks allowed the character creation process to be shortened from several months to just one week, while maintaining high quality and uniqueness. Phygital+ not only enabled the generation of characters but also facilitated their rapid adaptation to the project’s needs. As a result, Domovenok became a recognizable symbol of the brand and won the audience’s affection.
