The objective was to engage the digitally native young generaton who view tennis as a older person's sport and to express the fun of tennis from adidas.
“IMPOSSIBLE WALL” has re-introduced Tennis through new approach, succeeding to capture hearts of many audiences. Not only was there huge awareness of “adidas-Tennis”, but also cheered the quiet Japanese Tennis market.
Our solution was to develop an interactive devise called Impossible Wall, which allows young targeted audience to experience Tennis in a unique, innovative and entertaining way.
During 2 days of campaign, over 400 people participated and experienced the Impossible Tennis, which is approximately 2 times than the forecasted participants. And this installation was constantly surrounded by a cheering crowd of people during the period and event itself was huge success. It’s currently in the planning to let the Impossible wall travel across all Japan enabling more people experience this innovative installation.
