Mini ninjas attack hearts in Japan Mini ad

The 30-second spot, by Beacon/Leo Burnett Tokyo, is running until May in Japan. Where previous ads focused on the functional benefits of the car's size and four doors, this ad has struck a chord among consumers by showing the authentic playful spirit of the brand, according to the agency.
