Top Dog is a company specializing in bare-knuckle fights. 9 Pandas formulated a creative design concept for the Top Dog website conveying the brand’s core elements:

• Masculinity
• Excellence
• The Way of the Warrior
• Rivalry
• Fortitude

Evoking the style of the Guy Richie movie Snatch, 9 Pandas developed individual graphic ‘signs-symbols’ for each fighter, symbolizing their unique fighting path. In marketing communications, Top Dog focuses on promoting the fighters’ personalities and telling their own individual stories, finding the internal and external drama behind each battle to make fights more interesting.

As a marketing expert and the founder of 9 Pandas, Sergey Karshkov is well aware of the importance of creating audience engagement, a goal that was central to the Top Dogs project.

In 2020, 9 Pandas was commissioned by LeadRate to design a landing page for the media-buying agency. LeadRate gave 9 Pandas complete creative control. Analyzing the landing pages of competitors, 9 Pandas found that most lacked personality, delivering basic information about the company and the services it provided in an emotionless, factual way. Realizing the considerable value of emotion in advertising in terms of engaging the audience and ultimately persuading them to buy, 9 Pandas bucked the trend, creating a more human concept with a cyberpunk edge. The end result was a commentary on the modern world and the increasing cybernization of life, illustrating how LeadRate reaches out to people and delivering the client’s message.
