Statement from Deloitte Digital Japan Lead Go Miyashita

As interest in social significance in addition to economic value increases, expectations for branded movies are rising as a communication tool between companies and society. With this award, I hope that this will be an opportunity to create a “New” way of delivering the message that companies and society want to convey, and to expand the possibilities of branded movies. We look forward to receiving submissions from many creators.
