OUR SOLUTIONS
You feel your message could be powerful in Japan but have no presence yet.
We can search for a distributor, or act as your brand manager and local representative: define an effective business plan, create legal representation, build and animate sales networks, gather and develop strong teams and activate creative marketing solutions.
You don't need to invest drastically in Japan by recruiting your own team from day 1: we take care of all operational aspects, allocating our part-time resources to your brand...till you reach enough local sales to internalize the business, with no hassle.

You are represented in Japan through an agent but lack visibility on the operations.
Communication gaps exist between your brand and your local distribution?
We are experts in building bridges, closing communication gaps and provide innovative solutions meaningful for both partners.
We can search for a new distributor or analyze the state of your operations in Japan, clarify priorities, identify resistance, create opportunities and drive change. We can optimize team's skills, ensure that local marketing campaigns and social media activations convey your right message in the right way.

With our main office in Kyoto, the heart of traditional Japan, we can provide great insight and access to a large number of craftsmen and select Japanese brands: from urushi (lacquer), take-zaiku (bamboo studio), karakami (traditional papers), Yuzen-zome (kimono) to tatami...
Collaborations with local Japanese artisans can lead to very powerful messages for foreign brands in Japan.
