Brief Explanation

To heat up again the newspaper as media which is losing presence, We produced special newspaper which can simulate the sea level rise associated with global warming when heat up on the newspaper. The purpose of this project is to get many people reaffirm that the Yomiuri Shimbun is not just a media for reportage, but also a highly respectable form of media with its own ideology that makes recommendations for the future.

Results and Effectiveness

The special website generated more than 40 times the page views of the previous day. The tactic was also covered by various media.

Creative Execution

The Yomiuri Shimbun distributed a special edition to all its subscribers “total of 793,430 households” in Tokyo.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

We carried out this project on December 11, 2014. That is the day when has passed just the seventeen years since the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. So the most Japanese in one year interest in global warming on the day.We achieved this by using ink whose pigment vanishes when heat is applied at the first time in the world.
