New agency for a new market
In recent years, the evolution of digital technology has significantly changed consumer behavior, and companies that in the past focused on individual marketing processes have started to focus on linking them organically at each stage in an effort to maximize effectiveness and efficiency. The Internet is now second only to television in terms of advertising spending in Japan, and digital market-related spending such as IT consulting, Big Data analytics and support for e-commerce, services that are not part of the traditional advertising market, has expanded greatly.
