In order to maximize excitement for the Japan national soccer teams new uniforms for the 2022 World Cup, the agency took the rising instances of pre-launch \u201cleaks\u201d and used it to the brands advantage. The agency brought together the talents of manga artists behind hugely popular soccer-themed manga titles like \u201cBlue Rock\u201d and \u201cGiant Killing\u201d to collaborate with Adidas to \u201cleak\u201d information on the new uniforms before offical launch. This controlled leak initiated behind-the-scenes by the brand succeeded in generating huge buzz by sparking speculation and discussion among soccer fans on social media, leading up to the official launch. This disruptive approach took what is usually a malady for brands and turned it into an advantage, contributing to an 816% increase in uniform sales compared to the previous tournament. *Sales numbers from online shop 4 weeks after release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“ProPILOT MOP” was developed with inspiration from Nissan’s advanced piloted drive technology “ProPILOT 2.0.” Like how ProPILOT 2.0 can autonomously drive a car, the ProPILOT MOP can move across a basketball court completely independent of anyone pushing it or holding it up. As it moves along, driving itself, it can read any obstacles in the way to avoid, allowing ProPILOT MOP to clean the floor surface without any disruption. Equipped with a function that inputs information on the basketball court and precise positional controls via sensors, ProPILOT MOP was even capable of performing a synchronized dance with the “Nissan Performers” dance team.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
