The Challenge: Convert Japan's 40 million "Galapagos" flip phone users -a demographic stubbornly loyal to legacy technology in a market otherwise dominated by iPhone.
The Insight: A tension between Honne and Tatemae. Users secretly desired an iPhone but publicly rationalized staying with familiar tech to avoid the learning curve.
The Idea: A puppet-led campaign that humorously voiced the inner monologue of flip phone users. By speaking their hidden truths out loud, we nudged the audience toward the upgrade - driving an immediate 10% lift in sales.
