Hasta La Motion!

Yokohama City Board of Education (YCBE) worked with a Dentsu Tokyo creative team to recruit librarians. Yokohama City in Japan has librarians at elementary schools so that kids will interact with books more. A Dentsu Tokyo creative team took up the challenge to recruit librarians who understand the value of books. They wanted to redefine the role of a librarian to be seen as a job that opens new possibilities for children, helping their mind grow. The campaign saw applications increase by 150% compared to last year.
