Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

Special web site for the campaign had 1000% view compare to the last year. Publicity reached to 3 billion yen. Because its interactivity, participants could really experience the brand message and some of them were really seeking their hand-written in-train ad and spread that in their SNS and that made a bigger buzz.
