Why is this work relevant for Brand Experience & Activation?

With a physical magazine, it is easy to flip through a comic, but through mobile App there is a limit to how well a thumbnail can convey the charm of the manga, and it can be extremely hard to get people to read a new title. A manga app's brand experience starts when the user starts reading. However, by searching for the manga itself made into entertainment we created a new brand experience.

Background

Shonen Jump is a leader in the manga industry. and has given birth to Dragon Ball, ONE PIECE, Naruto and numerous other masterpieces. 2014 saw the release of the Jump + app, with over 250 original serialised manga titles, with several winning awards. However, readers tend to focus only on popular manga, and introducing them to other titles has proven difficult. Using these award winning titles at a starting point, we aimed to create a new brand experience that would encourage users to read new titles.

A manga app's brand experience starts when the user starts reading. However, would it be possible to offer a brand experience where simply searching for a new title itself is fun? With this as our goal, we created a new brand experience where searching for the manga itself is made into entertainment.
