We decided to take the Russian word ELKA and at that time we did not know about the existence of a singer with the same stage name. The brand had to be laconic, easy to remember, and Russophile, because there was an international ISIC card on the market, with which our project had to compete.
But in order to make the brand modern, we decided to “play” with the spelling and added Latin letters, while leaving Ë (there was a cult of this letter at the time, so we were definitely in the trend).
Then we developed a bright and youthful brand book with all the polygraphy that were used in universities. We took bright youthful images filled with lightness, they carried a message of lightness and coolness of the product to the target audience.
We also prepared business and functional requirements for the IT platform of the loyalty program. All this formed the basis for the development of a web and mobile application, as well as integration with the banking system and cash register solutions of trade and service enterprises (cafes, stores, etc.) We launched the first pilot cobrand card project with Russian Standard Bank with the support of VISA.
