The Challenge

Nippo approached Ayatiworks with a unique hurdle, while the brand was widely known for batteries, very few consumers realized Nippo also made torches, bulbs, and mosquito repellents.

The objective was clear: Shift perception and create buzz around the Nippo Torch as a fun, family-friendly product.

The Objective

The campaign set out to:

  1. 01.Reposition Nippo: Expand awareness beyond batteries to its full product range.
  2. 02.Highlight the Torch: Spotlight the Nippo Torch as a family-friendly innovation.
  3. 03.Ignite Engagement: Encourage playful, creative participation through interactive content.
  4. 04.Drive Buzz & Shares: Turn torch usage into social-worthy, shareable experiences.

The Idea

We tapped into nostalgia with the Nippo Shadow Art Challenge, a contest inviting families to create shadow art using Nippo torches. Inspired by childhood memories of crafting shapes and animals on walls, the idea connected product utility with playful creativity.

Time to reignite childhood fun with shadows.
