With Eastern European Sushi project (book & webpage) our goal was to show that creative, innovative and sometimes insane insights can generate superlative outcome. That is how we ended up taking most popular dishes some time ago in Soviet Lithuania and applying them to inimitable sushi. We believe, that all great marketing campaigns are based on experiments and innovations. Our intention is to change your perception on simple things. Be creative, innovative and come up with novel approach.
