Advertising

Advertising Agency in Japan

The direct-to-consumer (D2C) model is popular in the 21st century because it gives a business total control of the brand, allowing direct customer interactions. Expanding to Japan is a logical step that exposes your D2C company to a market that, according to Statista, will generate more than $335 billion in revenue for businesses in the next six years. 

However, to truly tap into this growing market, your company needs to deploy effective marketing campaigns that Japanese consumers respond to. Engaging an advertising agency in Japan will help your company get things right from the get-go. 

Custom Media is Japan’s premier digital marketing agency based in Tokyo. We use our years of experience in the Japanese market to make your business’s debut in the new environment swifter and more profitable.

Who Are We?

Custom Media is one of the top advertising agencies in the Japanese market. We provide award-winning bilingual services to meet any business’s digital marketing and communication needs, including market research, public relations, content marketing and social media advertising.

We use storytelling to artistically communicate your brand, product or service to your target audience and ensure the message is visually appealing, gets their attention, builds trust, drives engagement, and inspires action.

Why Advertise in the Japanese Market?

Advertising is one of Japan’s most important markets, accounting for at least 1 percent of the country’s GDP.

Placing ads in print media such as newspapers costs companies about ¥381 billion, while advertising in magazines accounts for more than ¥122 billion yen each year.

Broadcast media takes second place for advertising expenditures, with companies using more than ¥110 billion to advertise via radio and more than ¥1.8 trillion to place TV ads.

Internet advertising is viral in Japan, with companies spending more than ¥2.7 trillion to place ads on various online platforms.

Since local and international companies are willing to spend trillions of yen each year to reach Japanese consumers., D2C businesses looking to enter the Japanese market must pay more attention to advertising. Using the services of a marketing agency in Japan will give you access to expert analyses that help your company pick and fully utilize the most effective advertising channels in the local market.
