Brief Explanation

Mint confectionery market in Japan has been saturated over the past decade, and while all the other competitors are claiming new flavors and functions, FRISK has been expressing the emotional benefit of mint. We had been building communication on the brand tagline “sharpens you up,” and demonstrated how FRISK mint can clear your mind and makes you become sharp. Audiences well accepted this branding and it was time to elevate the level of communication. We moved on to grander message, that FRISK commemorates human beings for coming up with ideas everyday, with sharpened mind. This “Origin of Idea“ campaign depicts this benefit through telling fictional stories of the moment when inventions are created. It shows that everything we use today was born out of somebody’s idea, and the brand ultimately encourages and praises people, how all of our small ideas can have potential to affect our future.
