Marmeladych: M.O.D.S. — Viral Mechanics for Teens

A viral mechanic concept for the marmalade brand «Marmeladych»: a teen drops gummies into a hot drink, invents their own «secret recipe» and films it for TikTok and Reels.

The client

Marmeladych

A marmalade brand with a distinctive mascot — a mustached experimenter. The brand's spirit: experimentation, fun, surrealism and a bit of cheek.

The audience is teens and Gen Alpha: schoolkids, stretching up to university students.

The task

Virality on almost no budget

Come up with an idea and a mechanic that sparks virality, lifts spontaneous brand awareness and carries its spirit — on a budget of up to ₽3M.

A low barrier to entry and a format that makes it easy to shoot lots of 15–30 second clips for UGC and social media.

— ABD's role

What we did

We created the mechanic, the product, the naming and the visual language — and wrapped it all into launch scenarios.

The idea-mechanic

M.O.D.S. — Marmalade Samples for Mixing: gummies in a hot drink stretch and melt, giving birth to a «secret recipe».

UGC challenge

Everyone invents their own M.O.D.S., gives it a name and uploads a clip to the brand's Telegram mini-app. The winner gets a trip to the factory.

Collectibles

Insert cards with recipes and the Doctor M.O.D.S. character, plus rare «secrets» — a mechanic that drives repeat purchases and LTV.

A new product

The «Crunch» line — crunchy marmalade you dip into «Saucesauce». A ritual product in the spirit of Oreo and Choco-Pie.

Visual language

A «Breaking Bad for teens» frame: the feel of something forbidden, but really — just gummies in a mug. Acid palette and the mascot.

Launch scenarios

Teaser, challenge launch, extra storylines and a finale with a limited edition — storyboards built for TikTok and Reels.

— Result

A mechanic that films itself

A concept developed for a pitch. Virality lives in the mechanic itself; collectible cards drive repeat purchases and LTV, while the Telegram mini-app builds a base of fans.
