Japan Market Entry | Digital PR & Marketing services for Overseas

Japan Market Entry

Expanding your business to Japan? Let us help you navigate Japan’s unique media landscape and business culture to achieve your potential goals. We provide entry-level to full-suite PR and marketing services catered to your business objectives.

ISSUE

Formidable opportunities, a stable business environment and large market size makes Japan one of the key markets for businesses. However, while the potential is great, Japan is also well known to be a challenging market for foreign businesses to navigate.

Language Barrier

Most Japanese are not accustomed to communicating in English in a business setting.

This naturally creates a gap in understanding between non-Japanese speakers and the native Japanese, which can be fatal for your company.

Cultural Differences

Japan’s business culture can be complex and intimidating to some with its unique customs and etiquette to follow.

A lack of understanding of the culture prevents businesses from achieving their objectives in the market.

Unique Landscape

In Japan, consumers and media have different mindsets and expectations.

Businesses need to be in touch with local trends, and establish good relations with media in order to build a strong brand presence.

SOLUTION

We provide exceptional care from start to finish in order to ensure that your brand message and intentions are consistent across all campaigns. Every step of the way, we provide the unparalleled attention of a small team, with connections to an established PR agency, PRAP JAPAN.

Clients who are just starting off with their expansion in Japan can opt for one-time services like press release distribution or website localization. Whereas clients who are ready to take a bigger step can opt for our retainer service where we provide mid/long-term end-to-end support.
