The Ad Museum Tokyo in Shiodome, Tokyo, is hosting an exhibition titled "Advertising That Makes the World Happier: GOOD Ideas for GOOD" from May 17 to July 30. It showcases and introduces outstanding advertising works from around the world tackling social issues (Organized by the Hideo Yoshida Memorial Foundation).
Details here (Special Exhibition Page on the Ad Museum Tokyo website ).
In the 21st century, advertising is shifting momentum, moving from ads selling products and services to ads solving social issues, with "for GOOD" as the keyword. Riding this wave, the Ad Museum Tokyo has launched its own exhibition project.
Works are displayed under themes such as "Human Rights," "Environment," "Discrimination & Inequality," "Traffic Safety & Regional Revitalization," "Healthcare & Wellness," "Education & Humanity," and "Tohoku." Visitors can survey a collection of powerful good ideas that strongly convey what advertising expertise can achieve for society.
Additionally, four talk events will be held during the exhibition period ( registration required ). The first event on June 3rd features presentations by social entrepreneurs tackling societal issues, sharing mechanisms and activities to improve society. Copywriters from Dentsu Inc. and Hakuhodo will then express these initiatives through catchphrases, introducing them in an improvised comedy format.
