The Brief

The euglena is the company trying to solve mankind's problems by developing various products out of ''euglena'', the life form that can be used as a jet fuel as well as nourishing food . However, in Japan, nobody knew about the big potential of euglena. To make things worse, Japanese misunderstood euglena as a ''worm'', as its Japanese name is ''green worm''. As a result, the euglena company was considered to be ''a weird company that makes products out of worms.'' To correct this wrong perception, the first thing we needed to do was give correct knowledge to the people involved.

Creative Execution

We've installed a quiz in the front door's touch panel. All the visitors must answer the quiz about euglena to get into the office and meet people, so the correct knowledge would spread quickly. It was a very relevant idea to correct the wrong perception about euglena company.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

To correct the wrong perception among the people involved, we've placed ''the entrance quiz'', at the front desk of the company. We've installed a quiz about euglena in the front door's touch panel and all the visitors must answer the quiz correctly in order to get into the office and meet people.
