While most were unwrapping gifts, kiop.agency was unwrapping high-performance design magic for the Mercedes-Benz GLE campaign! This holiday season, instead of baking gingerbread, we were staging luxury SUVs under the Northern Lights, crafting a visually stunning campaign featuring the Aurora Borealis and a mystical moon. From print and outdoor media to digital, video, and a landing page, we delivered a sleek, powerful campaign—just like the GLE itself. Because who needs elves when you have Photoshop and great ideas?

More projects, more creativity, and zero holiday breaks—just how we like it. Stay tuned!

Little learners deserve big ideas, and that’s exactly what we brought to life for the International School of Estonia (ISE) Preschool! Our team at kiop.agency created a brand-new website, making it easier than ever for parents to discover the "Explore. Share. Grow." philosophy that defines ISE’s early childhood program. From warm, inviting visuals to an intuitive user experience, every detail was designed to reflect the preschool’s nurturing and inspiring environment.

More creative projects coming soon—stay tuned!

Our goal was to develop a brand-new, INTERESTING, and colorful strategy for the ISE preschool promotion. The campaign's goal was to persuade parents to sign up their children for preschool at ISE. The kindergarten takes pride in offering an IBO PYP program and an international environment that are unmatched in Estonia. Therefore, if you're seeking for play-based English language instruction in a pleasant and caring setting, ISE preschool is undoubtedly THE BEST PLACE FOR YOUR KID.

You've probably heard about Black Friday. Or Cyber Monday? :) IUTE's mandate to the agency was to build a Black Friday WEEK concept for Balkan countries based on the topic of e-Shopping Week. We produced the IUTE WEEK logo, an e-Shopping Week sign, a campaign concept, and all marketing materials. It was a thrilling ride!

This time around, the FINNBUILD expo will be different. We have previously used enormous photo banners in the design of Bang & Bonsomer expos. After consulting with the client, we opted to keep the booth design simple and avoid using any images. To keep things fresh, the client suggested using real-life polyurethane foam spray walls, which is a fantastic concept! The Bang & Bonsomers team will spray the walls to demonstrate how well the Ekospray foam works and how easy it is to apply. The walls' graphic design consists solely of text, minimalist technical illustrations, and icons. It is exciting to create new solutions!

Check out the Trå & Teknik exhibit design in the gallery. We combined the Bang and Bonsomer's walls with the Palonot wall across a lake:). The imagery is inspired by Nordic nature and wood, as this is a wood and associated products exhibition.

The IUTESTAR! campaign is a sales promotion for Balkan countries that highlights a single STAR product.

We are delighted to celebrate a fantastic collaboration with designer, illustrator, and artist Elina Kasesalu. She drew stunning illustrations for Narva College's 25th anniversary. There were a total of 10 large format illustrations. The theme was "Creative Narva College," and the artwork was presented to the faculty and other notable members of the academic community.

Business Unit Energy is a 360° partner for process chemicals and services. Check out the new graphic design concept to highlight this fact.

This is an online sales campaign that emphasizes fantastic prices and offers for a wide range of products from IUTEs partners.

In 2024, Narva College got a record number of applications: 941. In prior years, the maximum number of candidates was around 750. How was this feasible, and what factors led to the positive outcome? We created a completely new concept for the BA campaign, inspired by the creativity and spirit of Narva College, and also took a deep interest in the mindset of the potential applicant, attempting to understand what type of campaign they would react to and, if given the opportunity, what type of campaign they would create for themselves:). The other aspect was extremely sophisticated media planning by Narva College's partner media firm; the campaign was highly prominent despite the fact that the media budget was less than that of the competition. The third aspect is the overall mindset of society, which includes good attitudes toward programs with a concentration on teacher professional studies.

Eric Brauer, the inventor of Smart Fysio, believes that you should train SMART rather than hard. Eric is a great inspiration and a pioneer in the world of personal movement and fitness. He does not believe in the cult of pumping muscles and being extra slender; this is not healthy and is not achievable for the majority of us. Instead, he feels that smart and sufficient activity of any kind is essential for keeping our bodies functioning at their optimum. We want to live a full life!

The Narva College MA marketing focuses on showing members of the college faculty - the genuine wonderful people who study and work at the college. We produced a unique graphic design concept to highlight college students by putting a letter Õ around their heads. The upbeat attitude of the college lecturers shone through, and the campaign yielded excellent results in terms of the number of applications received. Applications increased by 22% compared to the previous year.

Together with Socio Research, we conducted comprehensive market research to identify the position of the Nopri brand in the minds of the target audience. The important discovery was that there is no problem with Nopri. On the contrary, what Nopri marketing has done so far has been quite effective. The farm has a consistent following; people who know and buy Nopri are loyal customers who will continue to purchase organic farm milk products in the future. The key difficulty is that if Nopri truly wants to build its customer base and significantly raise sales in the future, the brand must advance to the next level of marketing. This means more heavy advertising across all media platforms.

This year's ESTBUILD expo featured a cool sub-project. We created a marshmallow candy box using Ekospray design and copy. Since Ekospray is a polyurethane foam that resembles marshmallow, we formed a quick link with the package copy language. The candies were given out as gifts to potential clients who attended the fair.

Congratulations, Narva College! 25 years of studies!

After 78 hours of phone and video interactions with the client, the Smart Fysio website is finally up! Yes, certainly, 78 hours is an exaggeration. Nonetheless, there were lengthy and many debates that delved deeply into sports philosophy. We are honored to have learned so much, and we hope Eric is delighted with how the website and its contents turned out. Wishing Smart Fysio many new clients and great success! Check it out: https://smartfysio.ee/

What a delight! The Bang & Bonsomer corporate website is NOW live! Check it out: https://www.bangbonsomer.com/

A man wearing a yellow jacket carefully places the moon in the nordic light-lit sky. Who is this man? Is it Bang and Bonsomer? Why are so many moons still on the ground? Something to think about:).

After establishing NÖVA sales in Kalaarsenal, I inquired with the shop's owner about its success. Are people purchasing the premium black caviar manufactured in Estonia? Tiit responded with a story: yesterday, a couple strolled in. A man in his fifties with his woman. They inquired about the ad on the counter and the NÖVA jars in the refrigerator. When they discovered that this is the highest quality caviar cultivated in the wetlands and woods of Pärnu, they promptly purchased the largest container to sample it. It appears that Estonians have a strong desire to support Estonian entrepreneurs and producers. And they are ready to try new, fancy things:).

Presenting nice and eco-friendly brown cardboard rice package made for Sonnenfarm in Austria.

Several names were suggested for this unique private sports club. Smart Fysio was the client's idea:). Go, Eric! The name reveals the nature of this club in a very direct and honest way.

IUTE is a pioneer in establishing a complete ecosystem of financial services, including cash loans, spending limits, purchase now pay later solutions, transfer money solutions, QR code payment solutions, and many other goods and services designed to maximize consumer comfort when using IUTE. Our job was to produce POS materials that effectively highlighted the products and services.

Congratulations, International School of Helsinki. The 60th anniversary logo design was influenced by Nordic minimalism and, of course, the ISH CVI.

We designed IUTE offices for the Balkan countries. Quite a challenging job to do from the distance. Requires many in depth conversations with the client and also a good understanding of the client and visa versa of the agency. It is all about communication, concentration and collaboration.

We're still working hard on the Bang & Bonsomer website:). There are many sub-pages that still require content generation and design. Because the products are so particular, creating good pictures is a major challenge. For example, how can you discover suitable photos for polyol blending? Or mould release? What about thermoset resins, hardeners, and curing additives?

The nature footage was filmed by Cuba at the NÖVA farm in Pärnumaa. A magical place. The farm video was also filmed in Cuba and on the NÖVA farm. A modern fascility with several curious sturgeon fish residing inside. Enjoy!

W E L C O M E  to Palonot! There is a new member of the Bang & Bonsomer family. We designed the logo and marketing materials.

We created a beautiful brochure for NÖVA in English. After accepting the graphic design, the client requested the identical brochure in Japanese. We figured, certainly. Let's do it. Not an issue. The client provided the translations, and our designer prepared the language for the brochure. None of the Estonian squad members speak any Japanese. Our client mentioned that the spacing of the hieroglyphs must be done in a specific way in the Japaneze language. A millimeter here and there alters the meaning of the word. To remedy this, we hired a Japanese designer to join our team:). Millimeters were fixed, and the brochure was sent to print. A lesson to be learned. Never underestimate foreign languages or specifics.

This AD was published in a posh UK magazine.

What is the purpose of financial service providers? Why do they exist? Why does IUTE exist? After roughly 5 brainstorms we ended up with the core idea that IUTE exists to enable its customers to live their life NOW. This is possible through making financial products and services simple to understand and easy to use. Money > simplified.

A new, high-value piece of real estate in town was given the name, identity, and website LINNUKODUD by kiop.agency. Visit https://alpina.estate/linnukodud/ for more information. The name is derived from the fact that this brand-new, lovely home is situated in Kristiine, a lush area of Tallinn that is home to many trees, birds, and other lovely things. Moreover, the street is named LINNU, which is Estonian for "bird." The concept for the logo is likewise pretty straightforward; we turned the bird's shape into the letter O. The website is meant to be composed and cool:). pastel hues, a nordic vibe, and a focus on the family.

We are pleased to announce that Virumaa Museums has chosen kiop.agency as their design partner for the upcoming SUITS expo. The expo focuses on illegal items, particularly illegal cigarettes, and the legal situations that accompany them. Our objective is to design nine wall stands that emphasize various aspects of how dangerous and harmful illicit cigarettes are to both your health and the health of our country.

Check out https://alpina.estate/ .This one-pager was created with architecture and modern minimalism in mind. A great source of inspiration was the owners of Alpina themselves – Mihkel Pärtel and Pirmin Tamm, true real estate gurus. We wanted to come up with a great user experience and the sense that Alpina is the next big thing in real estate.

What is likely to happen with real estate prices? Will the square-metre price in seaside Kalamaja already exceed 8000 euros by 2024? How can you make money out of your land? Do Estonians still believe that investing in real estate will guarantee future returns? Mihkel Pärtel and Pirmin Tamm will surely be able to answer these and other questions related to real estate. They are true real estate gurus, responsible for the hot new Alpina real estate brand. Kiop.agency was tasked with creating an identity and homepage for the venture. The logo is intentionally modern and minimalistic and flirts with architecture. The logo sign was inspired by the three values of Alpina.

How can you successfully create an expo concept that can be used by six different business divisions to express the needs of around 20 different business lines? How can you create a production solution that is modular and can be implemented in very small and quite large spaces alike without it losing any of its design or function? Which is more important: colours or lighting? How can you make use of ceiling space? And how can you be visible, beautiful and significant all at once?

Kiop.agency developed a new expo solution for Bang & Bonsomer. The design is in line with the new graphic identity we have been implementing on group webpages, prints and other marketing materials. We put a lot of emphasis on lighting the expo booth – all of the modules have LED lighting along the edges, including the ceiling module, floor module and info modules. To make use of the space beneath the ceiling, we created a separate ceiling module and raised it in order for the booth to be visible from all directions. Branded pins were also provided for the client to use, which could be placed anywhere in the expo area to attract more visitors.

Did you know that polyurethanes were invented by a working group led by German chemist Otto Bayer in 1937? Or that the squidgy sponges we use in our kitchens are made from soft polyurethane foam? Polyurethane is widely used in just about every industry: there is PUR insulation in our fridges and plumbing, PUR foam in our beds, shoes and sofas, and much more besides. But what exactly is polyurethane? Abbreviated as PUR or PU, polyurethane is a polymer containing the urethane group (–NH–CO–O–) which is formed in the reaction between polyisocyanates and polyols. Linear polyurethanes are obtained from the reaction of polyols and diisocyanates. Aha! That’s the way to do it! If you are interested in more information, e-mail and we will send you a PDF file.

Never underestimate good presentation design: your audience absorbs information by SEEING and HEARING it. If the information they hear is effectively backed up and visualized, then your presentation will truly have the POWER and the POINT you are looking for.

New package series for Blistex. What changed? Well, the previous series was based on illustrations, while the new series features photos of ingredients on the packaging: coconut, honey, cucumber, calendula… Nature is BEAUTIFUL. Let’s showcase it!

Cuitu is a revolutionary product in the pet food industry. This sugar beet waste-based fibre product is added to animal feed. Why? Because it improves the qualities of the feed by changing its structure so that the manufacturers can add vitamins, fats and other useful ingredients to it, and also by making the end product more easily digestable, so that your dog, cat or fish does not suffer from constipation. So demand a little Cuitu in your pet food! Everybody wins. We prepared a CVI for this incredible product. Check out the slides.

Cuitu is actully a brownish powder. We made a quick pack for it for a Nuremberg expo. The intention was to showcase the natural origins of the product and use eco-packaging materials. The branding was printed directly onto the package.

https://cuitu.bangbonsomer.com/ A one-pager for Cuitu. A surprise job! Our client wanted to attend an animal feed expo in Nuremberg and we only found out a couple of weeks ahead of time. So this was a quicky – a scrollable webpage including basic information about the product.

Illustrations for the new Primary Years Learning Centre in Helsinki, commissioned by the International School of Helsinki. Our inspiration: school values.

Hip, hip, hooray! The Eurogum webpage is READY: https://eurogum.bangbonsomer.com/. A doffing of the hat and many thanks to the 1K-Digital coding team for carefully integrating our design into the html. Seaweed is wonderful!

Iutecredit Europe Ltd is an Estonian company mainly operating in the Balkan countries. Kiop.agency had the pleasure of creating a CVI for the iutePay brand, as well as POS materials for all countries, a POS materials manual, the credit card design, e-commerce templates and many other marketing materials. Thank you, Iutecredit, for your trust and cooperation!

Great news: the KirantoFoods homepage is now LIVE! Check it out: https://kiranto.bangbonsomer.com/. Welcome to the world of flavour! Thank you, 1K-Digital, for coding our design vision 100% as we’d envisioned it.

Larucoll is a PVA adhesive designed for the gluing of finger joint wood. Kiop.agency created a CVI for the product: logo, graphics and colours.

There is a magical farm hidden in the forests of Pärnu County – NÖVA. The sturgeon they farm here are among the most beautiful and most curious fish in the world. NÖVA is Estonia’s first black caviar brand. The farm is owned by an Estonian-Japanese couple, so the brand was insired by both pure Nordic nature and Japanese traditions. Kiop.agency had the wonderful opportunity to create a name, logo, package and gift package design and other marketing materials for NÖVA. The work is still in progress, so further visuals will be materialising in due course. In subsequent posts you will see the brand video, key visual photos and ads, photos of real-life caviar tins and more. Exciting things are coming soon, so stay tuned! Special thanks to Andres Siem and Helen Illend from the creative team, Tanel Pau and Andzei Matsukevits from the film team and Jarek Jõepera for the photos.

Kiop.agency was tasked with creating a 20-slide presentation for the shipping company’s owners in order to pursuade them to register their company and fleet under the Estonian flag. To do this, we worked through legislation, filtered out the reasons why this would be useful for the company and concentrated this knowledge in presentation format. The first draft ran to 45 slides, the second to 30; with the third version we finally reached our goal of 20 slides. It is always a challenge to have each and every slide loaded with the maximum amount of meaning, not just content. The presentation has a video at the beginning and again at the end. The style was based on the Brand Estonia manual.

Presenting KirantoFoods’ new take on the web! KirantoFoods is a Bang & Bonsomer Group company, which is why we implemented the same web design concept here as we did on the group’s corporate website. Did you know that natural colorings for the food industry come from carrots, beetroots and other root vegetables? KirantoFoods works with food additives and specializes in creating functional flavor. Just think where we would be if the food we consumed lacked taste, color, substance or texture… The global trends are to replace all synthetic additives with natural ones, to downsize on packaging and to make existing packaging ecologically friendly – up to the point that one fine day we will be able to eat the food inside the packaging as well as the packaging itself. Just think how cool that would be!

Enjoy the design and note that this is a work in progress. We hope to see the website go live in a few months’ time.

Happiness is about the people around us and the time we spend together. We made a series of mini-episodes Holm Bank about everyday moments in our lives. In terms of clients, the bank’s main target group is specialists, and Holm is proud to serve them with a warm, friendly, can-do attitude. Many thanks to the participants in the videos and the Monster crew for making it all happen!

Open your fridge. What do you see? I bet you’ll find at least 10 products in there that have a) alginate or b) carrageenan in them. For real. For example, vanilla pudding contains carrageenan. It makes the pudding thicker and therefore yummier to eat. Ice cream, meanwhile, contains alginate, which makes the ice cream creamier. Basically, what we’re dealing with is a SEAWEED product. So, all natural. Alginate and carrageenan are added to lots of different food products, from milk-based desserts withal the way through to ham, chicken and other meat. We had the honor of digging deep into the anatomy of the product and the manufacturing process, as we’re putting together a new website for a company named Eurogum. Eurogum is also a Bang & Bonsomer group company, which is why the principles of the web design are the same as for the group. Enjoy the pics! I’ll keep you posted as to when the site goes live.

There has been a lot of talk about the effects of coronavirus on marketing and advertising. One thing is certain: the effect IS THERE. Kiop.agency´s experience is that the pandemic has affected marketing and advertising by placing more and more stress on strategic work. As a result, we think and re-think things 15 times over and only then do we execute a project. Also, we have seen that clients want to invest in branding and design, creating new brands, products and services, and re-branding existing brands. A lot of work is put into digital strategies and the design process. We’re really happy that B2B sectors have also come to understand that a company’s digital presence is important. The customer’s user experience is important, even if they don´t actually buy anything from the site. Since there haven´t been any expos since the start of the COVID era, B2B companies have been investigating ways of engaging new contacts via digital means, starting from the webpage, moving on to LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter and from there to online advertising, snapping up keywords and using smart advertising in different countries. The website designs in this post were created for Bang & Bonsomer, a Finnish material technology company operating in Europe and Russia. The project is still being worked on, since a lot of decision-makers involved. We hope to see the website materialize in code form early next year.

The Home3 spring campaign TV clip is a direct example of how the pandemic has influenced advertising and marketing: we made the clip during a period when Estonia had nearly 2000 positive cases a day. For a nation with a population of just 1.3 million, that number was a very serious problem. The restrictions enforced by the government were rigorous. The brief from the client was that there was a minimal budget and no time for the creative work, BUT they still wanted to come up with an effective spring campaign that included a TV clip! So, based on all of these conditions, we decided to move the production of the clip to the Google Meets video-meetings environment and record it through Vimeo Pro. The overall idea of the TV clip was therefore based on a video meeting between Home3 marketing and Liis Lusmägi, who is the spokesperson for the Home3 brand. There was actually NO traditional TV clip production involved: everything was done ONLINE – a true sign of the coronavirus times. We kept to the very minimal budget required by the client and got everything done on schedule, as a result of which the spring campaign ad made it to air in record time and produced a record number of new clients for Home3 in a single month. So tick-tick-tick! Or as John Hannibal used to say, “I love it when a plan comes together!”

A retrospective on February & March 2020: identity, homepage and marketing materials for Kathleen Naglee Advisory. The brief was to create a modern, dynamic, and yet sufficiently conservative “package” for one of the leading mentors in the world, Kathleen Naglee. Kathleen is a super-human, a true guru in the field of education, a source of inspiration and A FORCE that KEEPS YOU MOVING! Thank you, Kathleen, for this fantastic opportunity to work with you! It is an honor to know you. The project was devised in Creatum by team members Moonika and Alex, with photos by Olga Makina and code by Silver Liiv. Check it out! https://kathleennaglee.com/

In March 2021 and as a follow-up that April, we produced a campaign for the Russian-speaking market for Narva College of the University of Tartu. A fascinating insight from the campaign was that LinkedIn as a channel worked surprisingly well in Russia, considering that it is officially banned there and that in order to use it you have to hide your IP address with a VPN. We invited 25+ people with a Bachelor’s degree to come and obtain their Master’s degree in Narva. Surprise, surprise – people are doing just that! Narva College now has a full class of eager, paying students ready to broaden their knowledge. We created a colleague video, online campaign materials and a media solution. Later on a campaign for the German market followed.

We created the International School of Estonia’s 25th anniversary logo. The brief was for it to be festive, contemporary, happy and easy to use. Special thanks to Marc Konno for the design!

A 6:30 wake-up call, a drive to Tallinn Prison, a security process that lasted over an hour, approximately 250 different film and photo-related technical items validated, a shooting range, men in uniform, 15 kg of bullet-proof protection shield, bullets flying everywhere, killer leg kicks, the smartest dog in the world, Con Air, plenty of tension and ready, set, GO! That will give you an idea of our filming day at Tallinn Prison. The team got home late that evening. There was excitement, there was tension, there was satisfaction from what we achieved. The result was a tik-tok generation video clip with super-fast editing and super effects. The campaign homepage can be found online at https://astusisse.justiits.ee/. We created the campaign idea and identity, the video, outdoor and online materials, the homepage and a media plan. Special thanks to Monster, Kaimar Taal, Joosep Kask & the whole team!

The guardian of freedom... Who is he? What does he think about? What does he do? Check it out for yourself! https://www.vabadusevalvur.ee/ We created the graphic identity, homepage and campaign.

Bang & Bonsomer’s “Christmas Stories” take us on an adventure inside a series of chocolate houses with Benjamin and his dog. Together we learn what the greatest gift of all time is. Powered by Bang & Bonsomer in support of Unicef. We created the story and package design.

STAND is a student movement which was launched by the International School of Helsinki. There are 7.9 billion people in the world. We are all different. Let´s understand that and respect it. We STAND for a safe, emphatic, caring and nurturing school environment. We created the CVI, posters, clothing, mobile solutions and social media solutions for the movement.

Xylocel is a wood-based nanocellulose with the global medical sector as its main buyer. Did you know that you can use nanocellulose from wood to create artificial blood vessels? The world is full of technological wonders! Hats off to our agency’s client Bang & Bonsomer. We created the logo and packaging design.
