Just Дуй It — The Corporate Summer Sports Festival for OTP Bank
Reading time: 6 minutes
Client
OTP Bank is one of Russia’s largest financial institutions and part of the international OTP Group. With over 30 years on the market, the bank serves both private and corporate clients and places strong emphasis on corporate culture and employee engagement.
Objective
To create a vibrant summer sports festival for OTP Bank employees and their families — a large-scale corporate event that would inspire team spirit, energise the audience, and leave lasting memories.
Key objectives set by OTP Bank:
Develop a creative concept and event scenario including the opening, competitions, and a grand finale.
Design the event layout and activities for all categories of guests — athletes, children, and families.
Deliver a fully branded turnkey event: corporate style, props, staff, and catering for 800 attendees.
Add unique «signature moments» to make the festival truly memorable.
Solution
We created a concept for a summer sports festival titled "Just Дуй (Blow) It" — an untranslatable play on words echoing the Nike slogan "Just Do It," where "Дуй" [Du:] refers both to the inflatable games featured at the event and the spectacular soap-bubble finale.
Execution
Location
Step 1
The event took place at the Krasnaya Presnya Sports Club in Moscow.
Opening Ceremony
Step 2
The day kicked off with a dynamic show: an energetic host, a cheerleading squad, and a bodybuilder who inflated and burst a hot water bottle filled with colourful confetti.
OTP Bank’s President, Ilya Chizhevsky, welcomed the guests — not with a formal speech, but with a collective warm-up and team chants: "Just Дуй It!" and "OTP — the best bank in the country!"

Employees competed in mini-football and volleyball tournaments, with custom-designed uniforms created by our designers. Winners received medals and branded pins.
