Creative marketing and communications agency Custom Media won two top prizes at the annual Digital Impact Awards Asia.

The Public Relations Network (PRN) announces today that Custom Media in Tokyo, Japan, has joined its network of international PR agencies.

Great thinkers such as Albert Einstein, Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking often praised the human ability to adapt, and the new normal has shown that effectively responding to change is crucial. Custom Media has adapted quickly and skillfully by moving to exciting new premises. 

On November 6–7 at Kamiyacho Trust Tower, the first public exhibition for international residents was held—Expat Expo Tokyo 2020. Custom Media’s recently rebranded platform GoConnect made its public debut at the event, with lots of giveaways from the platform and its Partners, as well as a raffle in support of a very worthy charity.

In March, we launched Connect by CM—a free digital marketplace platform to support local businesses economically hit the hardest by Covid-19, as an extension of the Custom Media website. Constantly innovating and adding new features by listening to our Members and Partners, the platform quickly grew beyond its earlier purpose.

Tokyo-based Custom Media has been named overall winner of the Best Corporate Social Responsibility category at the 2020 Best Business Awards, for its Connect initiative to help local businesses and charities worldwide affected by Covid-19.

Connect is a dedicated digital marketplace offering SMEs, entrepreneurs, independent businesses and other local companies in Japan much-needed free visibility and valuable promotion.

To help ensure the safety of our staff and reduce the risk of Covid-19, the Custom Media team will work away from our office from Monday, March 30 until further notice.

Sengan-en, Shoko Shuseikan Museum, and Shimadzu Satsuma Kiriko Glassworks of Kagoshima Prefecture have won Silver Prize in the World’s Best Attraction category of the 2019 International Travel & Tourism Awards (ITTA) at the World Travel Market (WTM).
