The Campaign

Re-designing "The north wind and the sun" from Aesop story including storytelling and costume. Producing as home electronics and otaku culture are used for a motif, and it would be easy for the costume to be made a topic.

Creative Execution

Uploading the movies on Youtube. In addition, the background story were exhibited in the special web site.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

After uploading the video, it spread widely to more than 120 domestic and abroad web media. Plus, tweet about “Sunny Nodogoshi” is increased 195 %. As a result of this, Sunny beer become No.1 sales in the new product of Kirin beer in this term. In addition, Tweet about "The north wind and the sun"(original story) increases 164 %, means Sunny beer give an opportunity for Aesop story to go up to the topic. This push the sales of "Sunny Nodogoshi" too.

Since twenties and fifties have completely different point of view for early summer, We decided to“Not advertise beer, but story.” Making the web movie that communicates beyond the generation using "The north wind and the sun" from Aesop story for the sake of saying it is the beer for sunny day.
