DON'T TAKE FAKE
Annual festival & brand-show
The permanent agency project is an annual brand show and street culture festival don't Take Fake.
We are creating the platform where brands and their customers become close friends. It's visited by young people who travel a lot and follow world trends. They are interested in many things but always want to open something new.
Annual brand-show and street-culture festival.
For participants, it's a possibility to present themselves and their philosophy in two days to an audience of 10,000, to involve them into their community, and just to get to know them live. Syndicate and Basemnt Concept Store, SHIFT and FIRM grew with us. We are trusted by adidas Originals and G-Shock, Eastpak and Pepsi, Nokia and more than 50 Ukrainian and global brands.
We invent and create booths, installations, and activities together with numerous participants to show their idea and positioning. A skate park, a wall gallery, a break dance championship, a tattoo zone, and a music stage are created in partnership with congenial companies.
In eight years, we have made it from a small festival in the M17 art gallery to a large-scale event at the territory of VDNG, Kyiv Fortress, and Toronto-Kyiv complex.

Every year, we add more formats to the program. For example, in 2017 we organized a lecture zone where speakers shared their experience in building a brand strategy and store opening, as well as taught to communicate with media and understand contracts without legal education.
