MTS - Kvartet I and Smart Upgraded

Role: Senior Copywriter | Idea Development / Production Supervision/

Who Are These Four?

Kvartet I is a four-man Russian comedy troupe that has become a cultural phenomenon, with films and stage productions that dissect modern life, social media and relationships with razor-sharp verbal wit.

The Setting:

From 2014 to 2016, they were the faces of the MTS Smart tariff - the most data-heavy plan on the market.

For three years, they exhausted every joke in the book, constantly riffing on their signature traits: one’s height and the other’s bald head.

They became so synonymous with the Smart plan that when the tariff got a massive upgrade, we ‘upgraded’ them as well, closing the chapter on their physical jokes once and for all.
