哲学 Following the commercial success of Yakult’s 2016 TTL campaign, ‘Science not Magic’, the Japanese
fermented milk drink brand is back with the next epic instalment.
The 30” TVC opens on a mystical place of wonder located on a floating island paradise, as a circle of
devoted followers are met by a red-dressed heroine holding an ancient, over-sized bottle of Yakult.
The numerous magical rituals that are purported to create Yakult are described by a first voiceover;
from an ‘ancient shuffle’ to a ‘mystical hand swirl’, they supposedly all help to awaken the spirits of
the beautiful gut.
The actions stir up a magical whirlwind which, before reaching full momentum, is frozen by a second
straight-talking voiceover which imparts that Yakult isn’t the result of a magical ritual but is actually
developed by Japanese scientists. The revelation pulls the rug on the mystical tale and the whirlwind
disappears. A hand illustrated end frame animates on screen to show the iconic Yakult bottle and
the super ‘A Little Bottle of Science (not Magic)’; the traditional painted style linking to the wider
print, social and digital creative, also launching in September.
The 360° campaign, supported by TV, Print, Social, Outdoor and Radio, was created by Quiet Storm
and continues to dispel myths surrounding Yakult’s creation, reinforcing in the narrative that Yakult
is ‘A Little Bottle of Science (not magic)’.
As consumers are becoming increasingly educated about the products they are loyal to and include
in their daily routines, the need to communicate Yakult’s unique live bacteria and the amazing
amount of science behind the little bottle has been of central importance to inform purchase
decisions.
The distinctive ‘epic’ feel of the creative has allowed for better cut through and enabled Yakult to
extend their Japanese heritage and scientific credentials by making science relevant, engaging and
fun. The new campaign will help further build upon Yakult’s science-based offering, boosting
confidence in the minds of consumers
In a competitive category, Yakult enjoyed an overall sales increase in 2017; with the previous Science
Not Magic campaign helping to grow brand awareness and reach, through a broader range of
channels, which helped to drive new customers to the brand.
The campaign will run across TV, online, print, digital and radio across the UK and Ireland from
September 3rd.
