Description
The campaign started in the winter of 2012 in the context of encouraging Tohoku after the earthquake of 2011. Because the slogan “Get Back, Tohoku” aroused people’s sympathies and penetrated the market, we decided to keep using it for the new campaign. In order to help people realize the attraction of Tohoku, we selected “spa” as a new theme. Especially on the web magazines, we put an emphasis on the attraction of Tohoku spa. The campaign colors came from the colors of the Shinkansen train cars. By using them, we achieved the pop and casual image of Tohoku.
