FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What international teams usually ask us before starting a campaign in Japan.

Do you work with brands that have no presence in Japan yet?

Yes. Many of our conversations start before a brand has a Japanese entity, distributor or local team. We can act as your marketing partner on the ground and adapt the campaign to the stage your market entry is at.

Which languages do you work in?

We run projects with international teams in English and communicate with creators, agencies and platforms in native Japanese. This website is available in 12 languages; contracts and reporting are provided in English and Japanese.

Which platforms do you cover?

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and LINE. The platform mix is chosen from your objective and category — awareness, product education and conversion behave very differently on each of them in Japan.

How long does a campaign take to launch?

A typical campaign moves from brief to first published content in roughly four to eight weeks, depending on creator availability, contract review, product shipping and content approval cycles.

What budget do we need?

It depends on the platform, the format and the profile of the creators involved. Tell us your objective and budget range and we will tell you honestly what is realistic in the Japanese market before you commit.
