The Challenge
A four-day all-employee meeting — the first time everyone in the company had met in person. KKI wanted to bring people together, embrace company culture and Japanese heritage, and create a genuine sense of purpose and belonging.
It needed an identity, a narrative, and a workshop series that would stay with people long after they flew home.
The Solution
The event 'Beyond Tomorrow Together' drew from Japanese kamishibai — illustrated street theatre used to tell stories to crowds in public spaces. I recreated this tradition as a paper-stylised, Ghibli-like stop-motion short film: ALL THAT LIES BEYOND — KYO & THE KIRIN.
Alongside the film: a custom kaizen workshop series (Storytelling for Influence, Prioritise to Survive, Moonshot Thinking, Be Your Own Mentor) and thematic networking events — KNOWING MI KNOWING YOU (origami + conversation) and PATH OF WISDOM (a walking route lined with conversational proverbs).
