The Brief

People drink beer to feel good. It frees them to dream. Our idea was to evoke this joy to sell Nodogoshi. We created a campaign in which Nodogoshi makes people’s dreams actually come true on a huge scale. The campaign is called Nodogoshi dream of dreams.

Creative Execution

Nodogoshi sales were sluggish. People thought of it as a “bad-tasting beer” because it’s a low-priced, mass market product. So how could we sell a “bad-tasting” beer? We decided not to focus on taste but on the joy experienced when drinking the product.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

We interviewed Nodogoshi fans about dreams they had while drinking the product and held an event that realizes these dreams. Subsequently, we used a documentary of the event in an ad campaign including posters, commercials and the Web.

Results

The TV commercial hit the media and topped 1 million hits on YouTube in just 3 days. Fans worldwide began adding subtitles. NODOGOSHI went on to capture the No. 1 share in the market.
