RIA
The first brand on Czech market to say that blood isn’t blue.

CAREFUL WITH THAT LOVEBRAND WORD. BUT YEP, WE'VE BUILT ONE
Anna and Tomáš worked on the Ria brand refresh alongside Symbio and NICE! production.
Grounded in deep consumer insight, we refreshed the brand strategy, redefined its digital look & feel, and built a long-term creative concept for this menstrual care brand—the first in the market to talk about menstruation openly and honestly.
The first campaign sparked a massive response:
– 40% organic reach
– Fans asking to appear in future commercials and bringing us ideas for merch
– Hundreds defending the campaign manifesto in comments whenever it was challenged
Since 2016, Ria has kept building on this foundation.

”Tomáš and Anička are exactly the people you want on your team when you need a strategy with real impact. Tom is an experienced and insightful strategist who can quickly understand the context, look at things from different (often surprising) angles, and propose a creatively strong direction that he and Anička can then take from insight to execution. There is a lot of noise in marketing, but these two produce real signal.”
Bob Staněk, CMO at Hartmann-Rico
