Brief Explanation

The business cards were handed over to the local celebrities such as the mayor, corporate president, senior official of union, the landladies of a Japanese-style hotel, and local talents. PR events held Saga city and Fukuoka city (the regional area hub) invite Major media personals. The seaweed was engraved with names using special laser cutting technology. Since the best quality Saga Nori is very thin and fine, it took more than 2 months on testing laser cutting and actually making it happen. The edible business cards were designed with the cultural patterns and rare animals that represent Saga prefecture. 50 official ambassadors distributed 100 edible business cards throughout Japan to drive interest and guided to campaign website. 100 general consumers won their edible business cards by lottery and show off their card on their SNS site. The campaign also exposes through official website with YouTube movies, Instagram and Twitter.
