For Netflix JP - リラックマと遊園地 Rilakkuma's Theme Park Adventure
I produced videos at Wild Tame, ensuring clear, engaging content within the safe viewing area to prevent overlap with user interface elements. This strategy kept information visible and distractions minimal, allowing viewers to engage with the content easily.
The campaign used curiosity, emotion, surprise, and unpredictable outcomes to hold the audience's interest. The result was impressive: each of the five Rilakkuma videos achieved over 140,600 views and 5,732 likes on average, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach and the content's long-lasting appeal.
These videos were made specifically as short-form content using content triggers, creating engaging Instagram reels and TikToksTempo: E,g a blue screen is shown briefly at the start, or a black screen with only a clock is added to create curiosity gaps.
