A live project involves constant monitoring of global and local trends. We had to know everything: how digital and competitors develop, what will be trendy tomorrow and how to work with it. At the same time, it is not enough just to copycat the hype and make another "just-a-site-for-teenagers". We need to keep the focus on delivering the message of the brands and to tell a clear story about growing up.

2000s is the time for online flash games and timekillers. Users are still living on forums, blogging on Livejournal and other diaries, and hanging out on entertainment sites.
At that time, we were also blogging on the site, communicating, leaving comments, sharing interesting articles. We started developing the edutainment theme and used it for a long time.
At the end of 2012, we became a community, a trusted platform where kids come to share their successes and failures, secrets and excitement.
Youtube is tremendously popular, and already in 2014 we launched our own channel, the star of which was a top video blogger.
Social networks have taken the lead and solidified themselves as platforms for communicating with friends. Of course, we got our own Vkontakte group.
After 2016, all communication shifted to social networks. In Vkontakte group, users post 7000 messages every month. The site has become an online media on topics close to teens.
We relaunched the platform in a more modern design (mobile first), updated the content strategy to support lifestyle-based developments.

- The iterative approach allowed us to quickly respond to market and target audience demands and change not only the content and design, but also the technical base: the site engine and interactivity.
- In-depth analysis of user experience allowed us to make the site as convenient, interesting, understandable and relevant as possible - with good UX, UI and tone of voice. We used the product approach when it was not yet talked about as emphatically as it is now, and 8 years ago we were already striving to do human-centered digital.
