The “Science of Good Explanations”
at Advertising Week Asia

Sharing our thoughts with our families, partners, colleagues and customers is a natural part of our daily routine.

In order to prevent our statements from being misunderstood, we often have to face the question of how can we properly communicate with others so that messages are understood in the way that we originally intended.

This key topic was tackled in a seminar at the Advertising Week Asia, which was held for the first time in Tokyo in 2016. Renowned Japanese author (“Communication is 90%”) and ad writer Keiichi Sasaki, brain researcher and psychologist Dr. Nobuko Nakano and the CEO of simpleshow Japan Tetsu Yoshida came together to discuss and share their thoughts about efficient communication with people. They presented some scientific approaches as well as several case studies.
