Fraud losses amount to around $1 million daily. Pernicious money transfer fraud targeting the elderly has become a major social issue in Japan.
To against this fraud Japanese police teamed up with the Asahi Shimbun, a well-known newspaper company, and took the bold step of using a counterfeit bill in a newspaper advertisement with the deliberate intention of deceiving newspaper readers. The advertisement contained articles on past cases of money transfer fraud and advice on how to counter the criminals.
This challenge, combined with the daily actions of police has reduced the fraud by 26.5% compared to the previous month.

Results and Effectiveness:
The sales event was a huge success. VW's goal was to sell 800 cars, but in actual fact they sold over 2,000 cars within 72 hours. The success of the promotion received great PR with no charge and led to the extension of the special sale for an entire week.
Creative Execution:
In addition to the general mass media campaign, we used a unique media approach to help give an extra push. On the top area of the classified page we inserted a 'hand written' reminder - including a typical scribble made when checking that the pen is working - quoting, '72 hour sale, last day'. This note gave insightful and personal priority to a sale that couldn't be missed. The following page featured a general mass media ad about the special sales event.
Insights, Strategy and the Idea:
VW has initiated a special sales promotion, aimed at selling as many vehicles as possible in a 72 hour period. Due to the current economic situation it was decided to approach also those seeking luxury second-hand cars, and to inform them of this opportunity. The challenge was to find a unique way to stand out in the used-car ads in the newspaper.

Results and Effectiveness:
The campaign absolutely created a new frame of mind for people that paper can be reused not only twice but a third time! Hundreds of stacks of recycled papers from nationwide were given a third chance and donated to blind schools around the country, as an end result, not only was recycled paper given a third chance but there was also less cutting down of trees.
Creative Execution:
We came up with a campaign that brought recycled paper back to life once again. The campaign announced the line “GIVE ME A THIRD CHANCE” through braille technic on a variety of press media that had already been used on both sides e.g. movie posters, traymats, brochures etc., portraying to the passer –by that these papers, even if they are already used both sides, are still blank papers for blind students.
Insights, Strategy and the Idea:
It’s common knowledge that when both sides of paper are used, the paper is no longer useful and will be go straight to the bin. The challenge is to re-educate people in the society that these papers still can be reused for a third time as learning materials for blind students.

Results and Effectiveness:
We had the largest response for a newspaper promotion in Brazilian history, even among those that give away cars and TV sets. We doubled Brand Familiarity. Nissan made it to the front page two Sundays in a row. Also that day, thousands won the lottery, went on honeymoon, families got together again, children won olympic medals.People showed it to friends and family and will keep it with them for years to come.
Creative Execution:
For the first time in its history, O Estado de Sao Paulo ran a blank front page. It invited readers to shift and come up with their own front-page stories. On the newspaper’s website, they could write their headlines and upload their photos. The next Sunday, every subscriber was front page news. On their doorstep, they got their paper with the cover they had made themselves.
Insights, Strategy and the Idea:
Nissan arrived late in Brazil and is still a small player there. We had to jump-start the brand’s relationship with Brazilian drivers and introduce the worldwide brand belief: SHIFT. For that we chose O Estado de Sao Paulo, one of Brazil’s largest papers, and the most important source for people buying cars. Our idea was to shift the way people relate to newspapers, making them be the news, instead of reading it and making them keep the paper instead of throwing it away.

Innovative Media Strategy:
The Cape Argus is Cape Town's largest daily newspaper. The paper undertakes to support a few public initiatives every year. World AIDS Day is one of them. We incorporated relevant AIDS statistics at the top of every page, using the standard page numbers in the paper's daily layout. i.e. where it says page 6, we incorporated the following statistic: 6 million people in South Africa are living with HIV.

Creative Execution:
By utilising media space that has never been used in an advertising landscape before, we were able to engage our readers. Our communication was the first thing the reader saw when turning each page, and almost impossible to miss. The statistics were gathered from UNICEF and the South African Department of Health.

Target Audience:
Whenever a reader turned another page, they would see another ad/statistic, and because these don't look like regular ads and weren't in a space where you'd normally find ads, people took note and didn't just gloss over them. Especially seeing as they were on every page; 39 pages in total.

Effectiveness:
Using an advertising space that's never been used before (thereby ensuring the statistics were the first thing people saw when viewing a page) allowed us to achieve maximum impact. The ads stood out compared to other World AIDS Day messages, enabling us to assist in increasing World AIDS Day awareness.
