Task: to draw public attention to the 2014 Olympics mascot search via internet.

Result: As told by the head of the “Sochi-2014” Organizing Committee, Dmitry Chernyshenko: “The success of the hypno-toad was overwhelming, with over several thousands views within a week and almost zero extra promotions. The number of cross-links in blogs and forums reached thousands.”

The “Sochi-2014” Organizing Committee pulled quiet a stunt recently by commissioning our studio to design an alternative mascot. The goal was to bring internet dwellers to the mascot selection process.
