Overview
Ukraine's largest telecom builds 10+ B2B products. When hiring gaps and corporate bottlenecks threatened to stall growth, Awesomic became their permanent design partner.

Kyivstar.Tech needed senior design output that wouldn't disappear with the next hiring freeze — or the next mobilization order. Awesomic delivered: 3 subscriptions, 1 dedicated senior designer, and launch timelines cut by 85%.

The customer: startup speed, massive scale
Kyivstar.Tech is the product and engineering arm of Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest telecom operator. 600+ senior specialists. 10+ B2B digital products. Millions of end users.

Their B2B performance team runs like a startup inside a corporation: weekly experiments, Kanban workflows, senior-only hiring bar. They don't wait for quarterly planning cycles — they ship.
The Problem
Three things kept breaking their speed:
  • Corporate queue. Internal design resources were shared across the parent company. A single iteration took 2–3 weeks. For a team running weekly experiments, that's a dealbreaker.
  • Talent gap. Twice, the team hired in-house senior designers. Twice, those designers were mobilized into the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
    Each replacement cycle: 4+ months of zero creative output.
  • Budget constraint. Getting headcount approved is a fight. Getting budget for a service subscription? That moves fast. They needed senior-level work without the hiring overhead.

Before Awesomic, the journey from idea to launch could take up to 8 weeks.
We needed a solution that was as resilient as our team.

How Awesomic plugged in

The team originally brought Awesomic in as a stopgap during a hiring gap. It became the permanent setup within weeks. What started as a quick fix proved itself as a long-term design partner that's kept the team shipping for 2.5+ years and counting.

The Model: 3 Annual All-In-One Subscriptions — bypassing the 4-month recruitment cycle entirely.
Launch-ready delivery
  • The Workflow: Kyivstar.Tech integrated Awesomic directly into their Slack and Kanban flow. No onboarding deck. No project manager telephone game. Briefs go in, designs come back — same day.
  • Pro Designer: We matched them with Yuriy, a long-standing senior designer who understands the brand’s DNA and delivers first iterations within 24 hours.
  • AI-powered Speed: The team built a legal framework for AI-generated assets internally. Combined with Awesomic's execution, this unlocked faster experimentation across campaigns.
  • Enterprise-grade Polish: Every asset clears Kyivstar's rigorous Legal and PR review. Speed doesn't mean cutting corners — it means fewer revision cycles because the quality is right on the first pass.
From 8 Weeks to 7 Days
Awesomic has become the "infrastructure of continuity". What used to take two months now ships in a week. Kyivstar.Tech's growth team runs weekly experiments across 10+ products — and Awesomic delivers at that pace without dropping quality or missing a Legal review.
