Motivate 36,000 TOKYO MARATHON runners in a new way and connect non-runners to become more conscious to the race. The main target was the maratoners in the race, but not only them but also their friends who do not run at all. For KONICA MINOLTA it was important to reach the non-runners as well, to send the message that running is healthy for your life and to show that KONICA MINOLTA has a strong marathon team.
TOKYO MARATHON 2014 was held on 23rd.Februaly, 2014. FINISHER’S_REPORT was made using the actual running data from the marathoners. The runners first had to connect the Tokyo Marathon officially provided RFID tag to their SNS.Then all they had to do was run the race without any smartphone or download any apps. When the runners ran the course the runners’ split time was posted onto their SNS timeline automatically. The cheers from their SNS friends were collected in real-time via FINISHER’S_REPORT server, and printed as a personal FINISHER’S_REPORT using KONICA MINOLTA’s printing machine, right after they crossed the finish line.

KONICA MINOLATA is a printing company, but it is sadly not well known because their camera division was more famous even though their cameras do not longer exist because they had to sell it off. It was important for KONICA MINOLTA to brand their company as a printing machine company. So we created a execution that focused on their strength now, the printing machine. We came up with the idea to print a FINISHER’S_REPORT by learning that the official certificate from Tokyo Marathon took a month to reach the runners after the race. So this FINISHER’S_REPORT that was printed right at the finish line using KONICA MINOLTA’S printing machine was going to create a very special moment for the runners.
