Commentary
Judge: Mr. Taizo Hirose,CM Planner/Copywriter Kansai Branch DENTSU INC. 

Creating new and unfamiliar words for radio commercials is very effective.
However, it might have been even more convincing if the situation had been made into a soccer commentary scene, and doing ShinMaywa was currently playing Tanaka.
It was such a good point that I wanted to say things like...


When recruiting, our company wanted as many people as possible to know about the existence of ShinMaywa, which handles various businesses that are not often seen in daily life but are essential to daily life. In this contest, we posed the challenge of "Create a copy that can promote the fact that there are many ShinMaywa products that blend into our daily lives and support our lives behind the scenes.''

Mr. Kazuya Wakikawa, the author of the work selected this time, brilliantly responded to this difficult task by personifying our company as "Mr. Tanaka'' and using the verb "doing ShinMaywa'' to describe his active role in an inconspicuous place. Please summarize it in the expressions you used.

The production of our company's radio commercial "Are You Doing ShinMaywa?" edition, which was produced based on this copy, uses the everyday scenery of a fictitious high school in the Kansai region as the stage, in reference to our Head Office 's headquarters being in Hyogo Prefecture. , depicts a scene in which a student, "Mr. Tanaka", secretly helps his teacher, and his classmates notice and appreciate his appreciation.

This radio commercial will be broadcast on Kiss FM KOBE for a certain period of time.
