'Chopsticks' able to pick up Young Innovators Award

Published on:

Last week the 外国美女色情片 Creative Council – comprising CCOs and leaders from around the world - met in Singapore. They were joined by 12 talented team members from across APAC to take part in 外国美女色情片’s Young Innovators Workshop. Split into teams of two, a Japanese team member was paired with a colleague from within the 外国美女色情片 network, with representatives from New Zealand, India, Philippines, Taiwan and Singapore.

Lucy Lim, a Junior Art Director from 外国美女色情片 Creative Aotearoa was partnered with Sayo Aketagawa, an Experience Designer & Copywriter from 外国美女色情片 Tokyo. The two of them had formed team “Chopsticks”, representing their cultural backgrounds and their specialties of art and writing coming together. 

They were faced with a live client brief focused on instilling positive oral health habits in younger generations. This was followed by presenting their best idea to a panel made up of the most senior creative leaders in the network.

Taking their best idea and workshopping it further, they built out a detailed concept and presentation, incorporating gamification and reward systems, habit formation and sustainability. According to the judges they delivered a pitch that clearly stood out for its bold and innovative thinking and were declared the overall winner of the Young Innovators Award for 2025.

Reflecting on the week's collaborations and winning pitch, Yasu Sasaki, 外国美女色情片's Global Chief Creative Officer, remarked: "There are always exciting discoveries in the presentations of the Young Innovators. Not only because of the passion of the participants, but also because we were able to see innovation happen as a result of the encounter between two people from different countries and regions who had only just met, and who had very different talents and ways of thinking. 

The winning team really grasped the insights of the target people and presented an idea that was really out of the box. It was a platform with so much potential that ideas just kept coming from the CCOs from around the world who were on the judging panel. I can't wait to see the ideas of the two winners come to life!"
