Methods: observational, descriptive, comparative, generalization. Results. Key approaches used by Ukrainian brands to attract an audience during holiday campaigns were identified. Three cases were analyzed (Vlasny Rahunok Bank, Lvivski Drizdzhi, Aurora Multimarkets) that meet the criteria of all-Ukrainian coverage and relevance in the conditions of a full-scale war. Communication formats and audience attraction mechanisms were identified. Novelty.

Trends and practical cases were identified that can serve as a guide for future marketing campaigns in Ukraine. Practical significance.
