FAQ

  • The ad platforms we use depend on the client and their needs. They include:

    • Japan-specific B2B ad platforms

    • Google

    • Meta

    • Yahoo! Japan

    • LINE

    • Taxi ads

    Please let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll see if we can help.

  • Minimum ad spends depend on the platform and channels being used. In general, it’s at least US $3,000 per month.

  • Taxi ads may be worth running due to the high volume of business-related riders. Ads appear on a digital screen in the backseat of taxis in Tokyo.

    There are over 11,500 potential digital screens, and it’s said that 28% of riders are considered to have high annual incomes relative to the average in Japan.

    We are able to help integrate taxi ads into digital and multi-channel campaigns in Japan.

  • LinkedIn has roughly 4 million users in Japan, mainly in their 20s-40s, as of 2025. While it’s often worth considering for organic operations, paid ad campaigns in Japan usually face the challenge of their target audience size being too small.

    We are able to help with organic LinkedIn account management as well.

  • We primarily work with agencies and organizations that are already active or have concrete plans for the Japanese market.

  • Projects are carried out by our internal team along with trusted external collaborators when needed.

    For Japanese market work, communication is handled by a native-English speaker. All Japanese-language deliverables are handled by native-Japanese professionals with experience working on fully domestic projects in Japan as well.

    Unlike other service providers, we don’t utilize non-native English or second-language Japanese speakers.
