Insights, Strategy and the Idea

We focused on 'Haiku' that is a traditional form of poetry that every Japanese has written at some point in their life. It is the world's shortest form of poetry. That is why we created a communication tool that lets people tweet in 17 characters. An extremely short tweet. But each tweet is comes with a melody. Singing tweet campaign – a new form of communication that uses music as the vehicle.
