Voskhod: Calendar
Failsafe calendar – a wall interactive project which looks like a big all-prize lottery ticket. Behind each of 365 scratch panels one can find jokes, recommendations, funny pictures, riddles and quizzes, internet links as well as thoughts about life, friendship and love. What’s more, it is meaningful, for it is connected to a certain historical moment of the date. And behind some panels there are surprises and presents received from clients of advertising agency “Voskhod”. To make the scratching easier the calendar includes a free new 5-kopeck coin attached to magnetic tape.

will win 5 kopecks at cannes!!!
It seems like the kind of thing I'd put on my wall, but I have just one question... what is it actually selling?
It is selling the technology of creative calendar (after it was made over 10 clients asked us to make their calendar with same technology), Voskhod agency and some of our client's products (when you scratch some panels you can actually win something from our clients).
Sorry for my English :)
Oh, I see... it's a self-publicity piece. I love it. It's fun, clever, and clients are sure to have this on their walls where it's a constant reminder of your company.
Usually you look at calendar once or twice in month - just to check the date or turn the page. We wanted to make calendar with every-day contact. That was the idea.
Again - sorry for my English. I don't practice a lot :)
it's selling Voskhod! Brilliant idea!!!
finally something "out of box"
great work Voskhod team ;)
I have such. Every day holiday!
It's not just great idea - it's absolutely PERFECT! Too bad it's in Russian, i can't understand some of jokes. But idea is !!!!!
This would be a great idea for a calendar from the Lottery.
Fantastic idea, great way to keep your brand relevant EVERY SINGLE DAY. 10/10, this is what B2B marketing is all about.
You guys should sell these in stores, you'd make a KILLING. What's the variable unit cost like (can you give a range)? Just curious how much it costs to print one of these..
It's about 15$. Not much :) We've sold few.
Its wonderful!!!!its very creative.
Russia is really Zer Gut! :)
I think this calendar actually can win at Cannes. Very very nice job! Congratulations and good luck!
(You know, i really started to like Russian creative)
What fun!
great!very nice!
