Collaborating with an award winning character designer, Hiro Yoshii, we have created a brand mascot for Shop Japan. The character personified the brand and gave the brand face and voice, and it is now serving as an ambassador for the brand. As a creative director, I was responsible for integrating the brand mascot strategy into the master branding strategy, organizing an international competition for character design, directing the launch campaign and implementing the materials across media platform.
