Barni created one-of-a-kind New Year Workshop that totally changes children’s attitude in the act of gift giving during Christmas.

Instead of permanently getting gifts Barni’s New Year Workshop inspires and involves children into making their own New Year gifts themselves and presenting them to their nearest and dearest.

Barni’s New Year Workshop starts with a package. Every package contains fairytale characters and Christmas decorations for making a present by hand. Barni’s New Year Workshops have opened everywhere: online lessons at social networking sites, on the Barni website and creative workshops in large shopping centers.

But the main result is that 1 in 4 children in Russia has presented his gift to his family thanks to Barni ‘s New Year Workshop.

The campaign was aimed to activate a new attitude of children (3-8 y.o.) by interacting with them using promo tools specially tailored by brand to meet the occasion specific and to provoke their immediate response.

The generation of parents who remember Soviet times and Perestroika were very much deprived. And now they literally “shower” their kids with gifts trying to compensate their lack, especially in the New Year period, the most beloved by Russian children. Brands follow them giving numerous gift packs and offers.

Barni wants to become a part of Near Year life for the new generation and understands that a regular present will not be a surprise to anyone.

Barni decides to change the act of gift giving. Children are used to receiving them but every child needs giving presents as well.

Barni’s New Year Workshop inspires children to create gifts and present them to their families.

The New Year period is a season traditionally filled with special offers from brands linked to presents, special packaging and discount offers. Kinder brand holds a leading position in the children's category, and, like other brands, falls into the category of “gifts for kids.”

Barni has a far more restricted promotional budget but, nevertheless, has set itself the long-term strategic goal to activate a new attitude of a very specific target audience - kids 3-8 y.o. during Christmas, more specifically, the winter holidays period and thus to become an integral part of Christmas for children.
