Description
With the abundance of digital in the world today.
Our aim was to shift the perception of Ad Tech Tokyo,
a digital marketing conference, to a social creation
event by creating a campaign heavy in social messaging.
What is social’s role in the future? How can it make
society better? Does social allow co-existence
possible? We took Gandhi’s “7 Great Social Sins”
and transformed it into something positive—simply
by painting over one letter.
Execution
A simple change in one letter has the power to shift a historical message from something negative into positive.
Outcome
14,095 total visitors for duration of 2 day event. Significant increase (35%) of visitors in comparison to previous year. Also large number of non-Japanese visitors--from 29 countries and 52 cities. Overall, event generated much interest both within Japan and Internationally.
