Creative Execution

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. All the visitors must answer the quiz correctly in order to get into the office and meet people.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

The euglena is the company trying to solve world’s food & energy shortage problems by developing various products out of ''euglena'', the life form that can be used as a jet fuel as well as nourishing food . Some people said euglena is ''mankind’s dream come true'' . However, in Japan, nobody knew about the big potential of euglena. To make things worse, many 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 food and fuels out of worms.'' To correct this wrong perception, the first thing we needed to do was give correct knowledge to the people involved. So we’ve placed a special device at the front desk of the company.
