Execution

DOLE wanted to promote their Runner’s Banana, aiming specifically towards the marathoners at TOKYO MARATHON 2015. So we created a banana no runner can ignore. WEARABLE_BANANA The worlds’ first edible wearable! A running tracker made from a real DOLE banana, using the whole peel and fruit. Runners attached this on their wrist and actually ran the whole marathon. And of course the marathoners ate it after they crossed the finish line, providing not just race data but also potassium and energy! Sales of the DOLE Runner’s Banana shot up to 193% more than before the race, owing to the WEARABLE_BANANA.
