Execution
Many passengers tell taxi drivers to drive hurriedly; however, they don’t usually tell taxi drivers that they are not in a hurry.
By installing “Yukkuri (Slow) Button” inside taxis, Sanwa Koutsu is now able to make passengers not in a hurry apparent.
Therefore, this creative execution can maximize the opportunity to appeal Sanwa Koutsu’s high standard in safety and comfort – their branding– to their passengers and people in the public space.

Also, this project was picked up by multiple media such as newspapers, magazines, and WEB; Sanwa Koutsu’s media exposure increased by 1,400%.
