Challenge
Thailand has the world’s second highest rate of bullying— a topic that many people in the country avoid talking about.
Inspiration
Kleenex turned the spotlight on bullying with the help of Rika Ishige, Thailand’s top female ONE Championship athlete, who is also known as Tinydoll. A former victim of child bullying, Rika turned her life around after discovering her confidence through sports and martial arts. She spoke out about her childhood as a small and delicate half-Japanese girl growing up in Thailand.
Idea
We created a film that follows Rika’s story as she powers through adversity with her soft and gentle nature, overcoming bullies to become a martial arts champion.
Growth
The six-minute film featuring former bully victim turned martial arts star Rika Ishige garnered 1.5 million views on YouTube and Facebook.
