The Brief

Objective of this campaign was to own the Cool Biz trend due to the energy saving policy by government and have adidas at the center of this movement by celebrating this hot summer.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

Due to the biggest earthquake happened and nuclear plant disaster, after March 11th the entire country was depressed. In addition, the government forced major companies to save electricity especially the usage of air conditioner, Japan’s hot summer became hotter. adidas wanted to do something to cheer up this country and somehow own the Cool biz trend and have adidas at the center of this movement. We came up an idea to turn hot temperature into the consumer benefit, instead of hating the hot temperature, we wanted to celebrate it. Hotter it gets, cheaper you can buy adidas product.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

As a result, we have earned approximately 70Million JPY PR exposure with 0 investment for media. We had 40,721 visits to a micro site as of August 17th and already achieved KPI 30,000 visits by the end of August. Also approximately 1,000 people have shared our temperature discount website with their friend via facebook.
