Monomarket is the marketplace inside the Ukrainian fintech monobank. Time to step out of the mono comfort zone and say hi. Right in back-to-school season — aka max ad noise — where the big guys have been parked on their turf forever. Our challenge: get monobank users to break the habit of buying elsewhere. So we told them, “Psst, the monobank app has a monomarket — complete with payment in installments and free delivery, btw.” Now, how do you talk about an honest discount without drowning in the back-to-school discount storm, where everyone’s screaming “−70% on some chargers”? Easy: don’t talk about promos. Rethink the ritual. Instead of a plain 10% off, we invited people to... HAGGLE.
For the market, we even dressed mono’s mascot as a grandma — because if anyone’s got a black belt in bargaining, it’s grandma.
And for this, monobank is investing its own 200 million. That turns into a straight-up −10% in your cart on anything — from a washing machine to a laptop, no minimums, no drama.
And we gamified the classic “−10% in cart”
Fact: People hate spending money. Other fact: People love memes.
So we grabbed Ukraine’s meme heritage, sprinkled in some celebs, and sent them to the bargaining table. The spots feel like your TikTok feed—fast, ironic, meme-y. Boom: ad noise → meme boom.
Nothing personal, only memes
monobank isn’t about “proper, textbook advertising from the last century.” It’s about fun, irony, and a little rebellion. So the OOH matched: simple, meme-driven, zero ideology.
And in subway cars, we openly side-eyed the usual marketing tricks:
