Mischief Makers
How MEGA Khimki turned October into a month of family celebrations
4-minute read
Client:
MEGA Khimki (INGKA Centres)
MEGA Khimki — one of the largest shopping and entertainment centres in the Moscow region, spanning over 210,000 m². The mall features more than 200 stores, extensive entertainment zones, a cinema, and a multi-format food court.
Challenge:
to create a regular reason for family visits on weekends.
To design a series of weekend events that would give families a reason to return to the mall, maintain steady visitor flow during the off-season, and strengthen emotional connection with the MEGA Friends brand.
Key objectives:
Create a unifying concept for all weekend events.
Develop an engaging format combining shows, interactive activities, and prizes.
Increase family traffic and engagement within the MEGA Friends app.
Idea:
A festival of children's shows with a cumulative prize system.
October — that in-between moment when summer’s gone, but winter hasn’t yet arrived. To keep the festive spirit alive, we launched “Mischief Makers” — a series of lively, heart-warming weekend events for the whole family.
Each weekend offered a new theme, new characters, and new emotions. The concept brought together the joy of childhood mischief, the comfort of family time, and the ease of a weekend escape.
Execution:
Themed Weekend Entertainment
Step 1
Throughout the mall, we hosted themed shows and children’s activities, which were refreshed weekly to encourage repeat family visits.

Cohesive Brand Experience
Step 5
A unified visual identity was developed for the campaign, including a branded info corner, event stage, staff uniforms, and digital assets.
Results:
Новая традиция для семей
Создан прецедент регулярных, ожидаемых мероприятий в МЕГА. Концепция «Праздники Проказников» стала узнаваемой среди семей с детьми из Химок и северо-запада Подмосковья.
Долгосрочный эффект от брендинга
Айдентика проекта оказалась настолько успешной, что была использована для последующих циклов мероприятий. Универсальная сцена и промо-стойки использовались повторно, что снизило затраты на организацию будущих событий
"The secret of the success lies in a systematic approach. This is not a one-time promotion, but a series of events with a unified identity. When parents see the familiar design and realize it's 'those very holidays' where their child had a good time, the barrier to a return visit is lowered."
