Louis Vuitton choose SET Japan for latest QR marketing push

SET Creates Unique Mobile Bar Code for Louis

Vuitton / Murakami Tie-up

PRESS RELEASE:

Tokyo based creative agency SET specializes in unique marketing solutions that combine design and technology.

SET has announced a new collaboration with fashion house Louis Vuitton designing a QR (Quick Response) code.

The QR code is an extension of the continuing partnership between Louis Vuitton and famed Japanese animator Takashi Murakami who in 2008 made Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” list, the only visual artist included.

The QR code will:

• generate traffic to the Louis Vuitton mobile website

• create buzz about the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Murakami

• demonstrate the possibilities of designer QR codes

• raise awareness of the potential role of QR codes in marketing

Adrian Grey, President of SET, said:

“Intertwining design with technological innovation allows us to satisfy client objectives and delight consumers. We believe this code will help create a shift from the standard black and white codes that blight the landscape. Creativity, design and technology, tend to move in different directions but at SET we feel linking them together will bring about a new era of innovation, giving designers the chance to lend their creative skills to technology projects. We are very excited to be at the forefront of such cutting-edge technology”.

The QR code was launched April 10th. For further information, contact:

Thai News – Jane Z.

Our footage hits China!

Our SET concert production unit shot this 5 camera live footage over the weekend! If your in China you might have caught it on the news!

JANE Z’s first ever Japan performance

With SET Japan responsible for stage, lighting and filming, it was a busy night for our crew. But all went hiccup free. Jane’s performance was very solid, she seems to combine all the elements of a big star, great voice, charisma, comfortable on stage, confident etc  with a very tangible human quality about her, which can only be a plus. We wish her luck. 

Jennifer Lopez In Tokyo

Capricine Lingerie Show

Had the chance to take a few snaps at Capricine Lingerie Show for buyers only, at a small place in Nishi Azabu, I think the show went down well, and there seemed to be a lot of interest afterwards, congrats to Rinko the designer.

Pecha Kucha

While in Australia last month I was fortunate enough to be invited to speak at the Brisbane chapter of Tokyo’s own Pecha Kucha. Held at one of the country’s finest venues, the Powerhouse, a crowd of about 300 gathered to hear me give a very speedy run through my take on the current creative climate in Tokyo and a little on what SET does. Big thanks to the organizers for letting me jump in at the last minute and my fan club in the front row. Very impressed with the standard of presentations and the talented people I met afterwards.
