The Campaign

HORROR WAS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MOVIE CATEGORIES IN JAPAN. COUPLE YEARS AGO, JAPANESE HORROR MOVIE MADE A BIG HIT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD INCLUDING HOLLYWOOD. AND ALSO THERE WAS A REBOOM FROM THE GLOBAL HIT, BUT THESE DAYS, IT'S DEMAND IS DECREASING YEAR BY YEAR. TSUTAYA, THE MOST FAMOUS DVD STORE IN JAPAN, HAD TOO LARGE OF STOCK OF HORROR MOVIES. ALSO THE MARKET WAS MOVING TO ONLINE DOWNLOAD AND SALES, SO DVD RETAIL STORE WAS IN A HARD SITUATION. WE NEEDED A NEW PLAN TO ATTRACT CONSUMERS AND INCREASE SALES,BY UPDATING THE FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE.

Results

WE INVENTED THE OCULUS RIFT 360°HORROR MOVIE, YOU COULD ONLY EXPERIENCE AT THE STORE. WE ALSO INVENTED A WORLD’S FIRST INTERACTIVE COUPON, “PANICOUPON” WHICH DISCOUNT RATE RISES UP IN RESPONSE TO THE PEOPLE’S HEART RATE. UNCOUNTABLE NUMBER OF ZOMBIES APPROACHES YOU FROM ALL AROUND IN THE CLOSED SPACE OF OCULUS RIFT. AUDIENCES WERE DRAWN IN TO THE MOVIE AND SCREAMED! WE COULD HEAR COMMENTS LIKE "IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE EVER," "IT TOTALLY RENEWED MY HORROR EXPERIENCE. PEOPLE WHO CAME TO EXPERIENCE THE MOVIE COULD GET MORE DISCOUNT AS THEY GET MORE SCARED.
