Tribal DDB and DDB is behind the promotion which includes outdoor executions for Buspak Advertising and Cody Outdoor in Hong Kong.

In addition, Cody Outdoor has set up a billboard at Causeway Bay, one of the busiest streets in the city, featuring a billboard with a mysterious black curtain and golden writing simply saying simply “Unveiling soon”. McDonald's has also wrapped the Hong Kong MTR station with cherry blossoms and a grand Japanese tori gate.
