Steve Xue, chief strategy officer, FCB Greater China:
I think this campaign has a more profound meaning than just turning a news disaster into a new destination. It’s about the responsibility of a ‘reporter’, which is also applicable to every one of us in this current social media driven time. We should not blindly report any aghast news that’s already filled so much within our world. Let’s go deep, go objective, go positive.
Luciana Cani, ECD, Saatchi & Saatchi Tokyo:
Not all good ideas need to have data and technology behind. This one uses traditional media in a very effective way. The same media and the same words that reported the disaster of Kaikoura earthquake were used to attract tourists back to the local. Using a strategic approach, they found a new reason for people visit the place.
