Ethical marketing and digital systems studio

Light
in the Dark.

We help nonprofits and mission-driven companies shine brighter.

Our principle

Good causes deserve good methods.

We choose what we help bring into view. No promotion of harm or manipulation of attention.

Strategy Web Google Ads Analytics AI systems
01

The same spirit. A clearer responsibility.

CHE began with guerrilla marketing in 2017–2022. We keep its ingenuity and put it to work for causes we can stand behind.

BRAND EVOLUTION 2017 → TODAY
EARLIER CHE · 2017–2022 CHE TODAY · LIGHT IN THE DARK

One star. A different responsibility.

Earlier CHE challenged conventions to win attention. Today, its inventive spirit is guided by clarity, dignity and purpose.

Drag or tap the star. With a keyboard, use the arrow keys, Home or End.

01 / EARLIER CHE

“We do things a little differently.”

Bold, resourceful, unconventional. A red star and guerrilla thinking made the brand hard to ignore.

02 / CHE TODAY

Good causes deserve good methods.

Guerrilla thinking becomes ethical marketing: still inventive, still sharp, but guided by clarity, dignity and purpose.

02

Find where the light is missing.

We look for the first weak link — in the message, the journey or the experience.

Five questions before we begin
01

Clarity

Can a stranger explain what you do?

02

Trust

Does the experience support the claims?

03

Path

Is the next useful action obvious?

04

Measurement

Do you know what is working?

05

System

Do the parts reinforce each other?

03

What we build for your mission.

Marketing, products, AI and research. Only what genuinely helps your mission.

01

Clarify

Help small teams spend less time on routine and more on their mission.

Positioning · offer · copy
02

Build

Make useful ideas easier to understand and act on.

Websites · interfaces · localization
03

Ethical marketing

Help worthwhile ideas reach people — without pressure or deception.

Positioning · content · ethical campaigns
04

Measure

Make complex subjects clear and evidence easy to check.

Analytics · experiments · iteration
AI · a cross-cutting layer

Bring in design, engineering and research skills as the mission requires.

04

A living laboratory.

Peaceful World is a separate nonprofit led by Daniel Che — a living laboratory, not a client testimonial.

05

Clarity is a process.

No black box. Each step can be explained and checked.

Discover → design → build → learn
01

Discover

Understand the context, people and real constraints.

02

Design

Shape the strategy, structure and key experiences.

03

Build

Create, integrate and launch with care.

04

Learn

Measure, listen and iterate for greater real-world impact.

Let your light shine

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works…
06

Not everything deserves promotion.

Who we help matters as much as how we work.

We persuade by clarity,

not manipulation.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Nonprofits, education initiatives and mission-driven companies that create real benefit.

WHAT WE DON'T PROMOTE

Weapons, alcohol, gambling, speculative crypto projects and products built to exploit attention. No dark patterns or manufactured urgency.

×No dark patterns
×No empty noise
×No growth at any cost
×No harmful things made meaningful
07

Work we stand behind.

CHE works selectively with nonprofits and mission-driven companies that create genuine social value.

01Does it create real value?
02Can it be promoted honestly?
03Would we put CHE next to it?

Legal form is not the filter. Meaning, real benefit and ethical compatibility are.

HOW TO START

A useful first step. For free.

No technical brief. No guessing which service to buy. Start by describing one real problem.

LIGHT AUDIT · HUMAN REVIEW
€0

Tell us what is stuck. We’ll suggest the first move.

Describe one issue in your own words. We read it and email back a focused first assessment — not an automated score or a full technical audit.

01

What exists todayWebsite, campaign, workflow, or a recurring task.

02

What is getting stuckWhere time, decisions, results or data are being lost.

03

What would helpOne concrete outcome you would like to see.

Example of a free Light Audit response — illustrative, not a real client case
THE SITUATION

A small nonprofit explains its mission on its website, but visitors struggle to see what it does and how to help.

LIKELY BOTTLENECK

The mission is described in detail, while the main action and evidence of impact are hard to find.

FIRST ACTIONS
  1. Explain the mission in one sentence people can understand.
  2. Make the options to help and the evidence of impact easy to find.
  3. Test the path with real visitors before spending on advertising.
OPTIONAL NEXT STEP

If helpful, discuss a small website and measurement project.

Why free? You can assess how we think before committing; we learn about a real problem before proposing a system.

The depth depends on the information available. Not a security, legal or formal technical audit.

FORMATS & STARTING PRICES

Choose the depth. Not a list of tools.

Three ways to move forward: understand the issue, fix one part or connect a system. Final scope and price are agreed before work starts.

UNDERSTAND ONE PROBLEM

Focused Review

Starting at€500
When a decision needs evidence, not another first impression.

We examine one agreed process or system in depth using relevant materials.

WHAT YOU GET

Prioritised findings, a system map and a scoped action plan.

Diagnosis and plan only; implementation is separate.
Discuss this scope ↗
CONNECT THE PIECES

Systems Sprint

Starting at€3,500
When several tools and people need one coherent process.

A bounded AI, product, growth or knowledge system with review gates.

WHAT YOU GET

Architecture map, working modules, testing and handover.

Specialist work scoped separately if needed.
Discuss this scope ↗

Optional ongoing support — from €500/month, only for a defined, limited scope. No mandatory retainer.

Indicative starting points, not fixed universal bundles. Third-party software, media spend, tax and specialist costs are evaluated separately.

What might a project look like?

Examples of scope—not pre-priced promises.

EXAMPLE SCOPE

Turn AI experiments into a reliable team workflow.

Map trusted sources, approvals and one repeatable AI-assisted process.

POSSIBLE DELIVERABLESSource-of-truth map, one reviewed workflow and handover.
EXPLORE POTENTIAL VALUE

Make the trade-off visible.

Change the assumptions. The result is a time-value scenario, not a promise of savings or revenue.

INTERACTIVE ESTIMATOR

What is repetitive work costing you?

Count only the hours a realistic improvement could release, not all the hours you spend on the task.

120
€10€100

Use a realistic labor cost or the value of your own time.

€0€300
€500€8,000
Try a starting package price:
Monthly time value = recovered hours/week × hourly value × 52 ÷ 12 − monthly tools.

For a conservative estimate, use fewer hours and include costs you expect after implementation.

ILLUSTRATIVE MONTHLY CAPACITY VALUE
€600

A capacity estimate, not money saved in your bank account.

6 h × €25 × 52 / 12 − €50
Hours freed in a typical month26 h
Gross time value / month€650
Illustrative break-even time3.0 mo
This is a mathematical scenario, not an observed CHE client result. Value materializes only if hours are actually saved and can be usefully reallocated. It is cash savings only if real spending decreases. Excludes setup, transition and training costs.

These guys are on fire! They do everything at a high level, and you’re left with a real sense of satisfaction. In short, I recommend them!
Sergiy P.Facebook review · · earlier CHETranslated from Russian
Guerrilla marketing is something over the edge of conformism. Daniel has natural talent to attract attention to whatever the object is in smart and “sexy” ways.
