We used the address number itself as a best media to express the unique point of the product.
UCC made the world’s 1st canned coffee in 1969. However, good coffee became easily accessible, and sales of canned coffee started declining. UCC Black Muto revamped & became the only canned "1st Extraction" coffee. We wanted to spread the news about the unique point "1st Extraction".
1ST EXTRACTION CAFE 1-1-1 Because of its unique point “1st Extraction”, we focused on and extracted the number “1” across Tokyo.Extracted only the 1-1-1 addresses in each area, and these places were transformed into cafes. Young people go coffee shops such as Starbucks for their coffee, but never try commoditized canned coffee these days. We created a cafe where they can try the revamped product, and which become viral.
Commoditization of canned coffee has proceeded in Japan, there are more than 4000 brands already, and more than 200 products appears each year but market sales is declining. Young people goes to cafe but don’t drink canned coffee anymore. UCC Black Muto revamped & became the only canned "1st Extraction" coffee. To spread the news and the taste, we extracted 1-1-1 addresses as the unique point "1st Extraction” and transformed to cafes where young people can drop by.
We changed six 1-1-1 addresses in Tokyo into cafes on the revamping day of the product. 1-1-1 in Japanese restaurant, 1-1-1 in a park, 1-1-1 in bookstore, 1-1-1 riverside, 1-1-1 inside an office building, and 1-1-1 in the middle of a staircase transformed to cafes in a day. People can taste the 1ST Extraction coffee at the extracted 1-1-1 places.
Sales of the product UCC Black Muto rose 116 % compared to sales from the same one month period the previous year. Campaign featured on 50 TV programs. Over 70M media impressions. Customers spread the word on how tasty 1st extraction is. Over 20,000 related tweets. Over 98M impressions on social media. Over 10 times increase in brand mentions. 1-1-1 cafe is now registered on Google maps, so "1ST Extraction” will remain permanently at each 1-1-1 address.
