Saatchi & Saatchi Fallon Tokyo Launches Global Campaign For Toyota

Thu 6 May 2010 in Automobile, Interactive, TVCM, Work

Toyota HSD

Explaining Hybrid Synergy Drive To The World.

Saatchi & Saatchi Fallon Tokyo was awarded the assignment in the Spring of 2009.

The challenges included how to explain a sophisticated technology in simple terms, not be car model specific and make sure it would be relevant to markets with varying degrees of HSD penetration and comprehension.

The solution: Meet Engine & Motor, two animated characters we created who explain how HSD works and the technology’s advantages via TV and web executions.

The campaign began rollout in the Spring of 2010 to over ten markets around the world.

Small? DC26 Introduction by Dyson

Thu 25 Jun 2009 in Dyson, Graphic, Newspaper, TVCM, Work

DC26 AD
DC26 OOH

Convention:
To benefit from Dyson’s constant suction power and strong performance, people believed they would have to sacrifice their preferences for a lighter and smaller machine.

Cause:
Even people who prefer a smaller-sized vacuum should not have to compromise the full-sized performance of a Dyson.

Campaign:
We introduced the DC26 model, a smaller sized vacuum that has the same uncompromising no loss of suction power and capabilities of larger sized Dysons. Integrated media exposure includes TV, magazines, newspaper & transit.

To highlight DC26’s uncompromising capabilities packed within a physically smaller body, we created a unique display installation at Ginza((Display AD/Pillar AD)) and Osaka stations and on-line communications that focus specifically on the inner-technology. The campaign remains true to James Dyson’s point of view as an engineer that “things should work properly” a hallmark trait of all our communications for the brand. The DC26 campaign features the simple truth that all Dysons do: solving the fundamental clogging problem of all other vacuum cleaners, but now solved in a size even more appropriate for many Japanese homes.

Results:
Although just launched, this campaign has already had a significant impact in the market, increasing Dyson marketing share by over 3% within the first month post campaign commencement. Early indicators are that the Japanese target audience have responded very well to the messaging of “smallness but with no loss of suction power”.

 

 

 

PS3 & Fallon AWAKENS Japan

Thu 27 Nov 2008 in Graphic, PS3, TVCM, Work

PS3PS3

Convention:
PS3 perceived as an “exclusive high-end game console for otaku gamers”

Cause:
The PS3 is much more than merely a game platform

Campaign:
By creating two types of campaign streams, User’s versions and Game Creator’s version, we set out to capture the imagination of people beyond otaku gamers.
In addition to television, OOH and print, we generated significant viral attention by having several globally acclaimed Game Creators (Producers) appear on-air, interacting with their In-Game Characters.

Results:
Expanded usage into new consumer segments (30’s and 40’s Married Males) who were new to PS3.
Post campaign research indicated “inspirational attributes” and increased “product purchase inclinations”.
Blogging activity spiked among game fans due to the unique concept of having the game creators interact with the characters they created. PS3 gained additional awareness on TV shows who subsequently invited the Game Creators we featured in our TVCs to appear on their shows.

 

 

 

Helping China to rediscover beauty

Mon 27 Oct 2008 in Graphic, TVCM, Work

Sony Handycam

Creative Directors: People of China
Copywriters: People of China
Art Directors: People of China

We figured the best way to get people excited about high-definition was to let them shoot their own commercial with the HD Handycam. We asked Chinese people from all walks of life what was beautiful to them. We selected the best stories, shot them and edited them into a 60-second commercial.

The results were as pleasing to the eye as the commercial. Consumers responded very positively and became more curious about the high-definition Handycam. The commercial clearly demonstrated the superior picture quality and made everyone realized that as long as they were surrounded by beauty, they didn’t have to wait till there was a wedding, birthday party or a vacation to use a Handycam.

 

 

 

Don’t just take photos. Collect smiles

Tue 26 Feb 2008 in Digital Camera, TVCM, Work

Sony Cybershot

With social & networking sites like facebook and flicker blossoming in China, we begin to see a new photo-sharing culture developing in major cities like Shanghai, Beijing and  Guangzhou. A compact digital camera has now become a part of everyday life, an accessory that’s with them all the time. Whether they’re traveling, at a club or a dinner party with friends, they’d take a photo to remember what they did and who they were with. The camera has also become a diary and photos proof of how exciting and fun their lives are.

To help Sony China launch “Cyer-shot”, a slim, stylish and compact digital camera that comes with a “smile-activated shutter” function, we wrote a jingle. Actually, we did a little more than that. We created a new culture of “collecting smiles”.

Although the 30-second commercial aired only for about 2 months on prime-time media, the culture and buzz of “collecting smiles” continued in numerous social & networking sites, blogs and photo galleries. Young people started to collect, classify and share each others’ smiles. Sony China received numerous requests for the jingle to be released as a single or as a ringtone. Up until today, T-300’s commercial is the most viewed Sony commercial on youku.com (China’s answer to Youtube).

 

 

 

Talking technology to homemakers helped invent a new category

Tue 26 Feb 2008 in Graphic, TVCM, Work

Dyson

Convention:
More watts equals a better clean. All vacuum cleaners are basically the same.

Cause:
Unique Dyson technology is different and superior compared to all others.

Campaign:
Only Dyson Has No Loss Of Suction
Utilized straight talk about technology and Dyson’s philosphy we refer to as ‘purposeful engineering’
For the first time, convinced major mass media to directly compare products, breaking yet another convention.

Results:
Lanched and unknown foreign brand into a flat low-interest category, for three times the price of domestic vacuum cleaners.
Dyson has become a ‘pop hit’ in addition to a marketing success, making ‘must have’ lists of trendy magazines and consumers alike.
Exceeded 2 year plan objectives in less than one year. For the first time ever, a foreign brand of vacuum cleaner has surpassed the market share of a domestic manufacturer. In fact, Dyson has surpassed two domestic competitors.

 

 

 

Fallon found the hero in all of us

Sun 26 Aug 2007 in Graphic, Manga, Newspaper, TVCM, Work

CitiFinance DIC HERO

Convention:
People take out loans because they mismanage their finances.

Cause:
Appreciate the ‘Everyday Heroes’ who sometimes take extraordinary measures to support their families and their lives.

Campaign:
By recognizing that people take out loans to help them in different times, or to allow them to get the necessities that will improve their lives, we developed a campaign for Citi’s DIC loan brand that campares manga heroes to real life everyday people.

Results:
The campaign broke through the competitive culture despite the highly regulated nature of marketing communications within this category. The Hero campaign not only generated a significant increase in sales, but also a significant increase in better qualified loan applicants, leading to efficiencies and superior KPls(Key Performance Indicators)

 

 

 

Can your TV reproduce the Chinese Red?

Tue 27 Mar 2007 in Chinese Red, Graphic, TVCM, Work

The Chinese red is a very delicate colour. It is rich, intense and symbolically used in every Chinese festival. Every Chinese person is familiar with this colour. In the LCD television market, Bravia is the only brand with the technology to reproduce its exact tone, character and nuance. The competitors’ reds were either too washed-out or overwhelming.

We knew that it wouldn’t make sense to rely only on a commercial to deliver this key message to China, especially when most of the television sets at home were of inferior picture and colour quality. The only way was to get as many people to see it for themselves on a Bravia at the Sony Gallery or at electronic stores.

We collaborated with 3 renowned and respected Chinese artists to create a series of red-themed high-definition contents. Peter Pau – the Oscar-winning Cinematographer who shot “Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon”, Sylvia Chang – China’s multi-award-winning Actress turned Director and Lu Sheng Zhong – a contemporary artist, responded passionately to the project.

Their contents were created, shot and graded for optimal visual quality on a Bravia. 30-second commercials served as trailers where our Bravia-ists inspired and invited the consumers to see it for themselves on a Bravia near them.

After the commercial aired, the Sony Galleries around China were flooded with potential buyers and “colour enthusiasts”. At the electronic stores, consumers would insist that they tested the TV set with red-themed contents. Before the Bravia-ist campaign, consumers had to seek the advise of shop assistants (we know how reliable and honest they are), but now, they can judge for themselves. We’ve imbedded red into the minds of our consumers and they’re using it as a yardstick and criteria in their buying process.

 

 

 

Outsmarting the Paradoxes of Life

Sun 26 Mar 2006 in Automobile, Graphic, TVCM, Work

VW Golf Love & HateVW Golf Love & Hate

Convention:German engineered cars equate to big bucks and attitude.

Cause:
Golf is an understated German-engineered car for those who won’t compromise on the importance of driving excitement, quality and value.

Campaign:
Love & Hate
Like life itself, cars and driving are full of paradox’s. The love & Hate compaign explores these paradox’s on behalf people who don’t want to sacrifice thier pocketbook for the joys of driving a premium designed automobile.

Results:
Golf A5 launch generated one of the highest showroom traffic in VW Japan history. The love & Hate campaign has substantially reinvigorated the emotional values of Golf and has attracted a younger target audience to the Golf family, which were two critical branding issues facing VW prior to the campaign.
The GTI advertising generated the highest ever test drive volume in VW Japan history.
