To get their sauces in every cuisine in Europe, Kikkoman enlisted the folks at taste.de to create a campaign and new character - ‘Sensei Kikk’: Saucier ninja and conjurer of powerful soy-brewed magic. Together, we created a series of commercials showcasing his transformative powers over a range of European dishes.
