Movement is essential to our lives.
Movement is waking up and taking our steps out into the world. Movement is our unique form of self-expression.


Japan is traditionally a country that follows rules and embraces conformity. But this does not mean that people lack ways of expressing themselves.

Our talent for this campaign, avantgardy, balances uniformity and creative self-expression through their synchronous yet vibrant dance style.

By merging a combination of dance, color, and dynamic video, we find our own distinct freedom in movement and reenforce the idea that we are the stars of our own stage that is life.

#SakuraRush

Annual cherry blossom viewing (hanami) is a long-standing tradition in Japan. And what goes perfectly with this tradition? McDonald’s Teritama Burger, a seasonal classic that also signifies the start of spring.

When the pandemic hit, and people were forced to stay indoors, we teamed up with McDonald’s to create Twitter’s first-ever ‘virtual hanami’ event on the platform, encouraging users all over Japan to celebrate together from their homes.

Honda Marine

We constantly ask ourselves: what is it all about? Is there a higher purpose? We are still searching for an answer. Maybe we will never know. What we do know is that we want to make it possible for people to feel truly alive. That’s the reason why we unlock the world of water and elevate this elemental experience by making it accessible to everyone.

Tokyo 20XX

Tokyo is home to some of the world’s most innovative, provocative, and eye-catching demonstrations of creator culture; and with a number of marquee, globally significant events on the horizon, developments over the coming years are set to catalyse cultural change in the city. 

Tokyo 20XX is a consumer insights specialism that dives into the city at street-level and looks at the creators shaping culture at its formative level, as well as the brands who are impacting these spaces. The aim is to provide brands with an entirely new geography of the city: one that puts creator cultures front-and-centre, and maps out new routes and avenues through which brands can make decisive inroads into its ever-changing, ever-evolving media landscape.
