Dentsu’s Releases New Corporate Slogan Targeted Towards Married Execs Who Need to Impress Their Clients With Prostitutes

DENTSU

2009: Moving Forward Under A New Corporate Slogan:“Good Innovation.”
— The Dentsu Group to Pursue True Self-Improvement and Innovation —

After Hours of drinking and Gropping The Dentsu execs come up with a slogan

On January 5th right after the long New Years holiday in Japan, the Big Thinking ever creative minds at Dentsu came up with a new  Slogan.

Tateo Mataki CEO of Dentsu announced the new Corporate slogan…

GOOD INNOVATION

Good Innovation?

Is it just me or is this slogan lame? A bit droopy in the noodle area? A slogan created from smoking weed and stuffing your face with pizza kinda creativity?

Now for you people who typed the keyword Prostitute, Dentsu is one of the biggest Ad agencies in the world. They have a 15% stake in Publicis Groupe, the Paris-based owner of Saatchi & Saatchi.

My question today is:

Will Dentsu create a new slogan next year because they realized that Good Innovation is just NO GOOD?

Was this the work of Yoshihiro Sato or one of them electronic translator devices? Is He still creative Director there?

Please fill out the poll to your right.

Nike Cosplay Average Japanese Joe Gets a Makeover

January 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This commercial is one of the most ridiculous commercials I’ve ever seen.  But I love it! Not all Nike people are super jocks. This ad  obviously targets the average Joe working dude. It also targets the family because of the super Rangers or whatever you want to call those people. It  was on a very low budget an d it almost almost looked real. I wonder who did this  commercial? Being  NIKE  IT WAS PROBABLY  Dentsu.

Yoshihiro Sato Carré de Chocolat Non-Blinking Woman

January 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This is a great example of how West meets east when it comes to creating Japanese commercials. Very memorable! Very catchy in the sense that the whole world is watching like our 24 hour CNN footage or similar to The Truman Show. Everyone remembers the bad guy and Carre de chocolate is the bad guy for very good intentions.

These are the players who made this commercial
