03 Grow · Social & Influencer
Accounts that keep earning attention.
LINE and Instagram run every month in Japanese — plus the influencers, reviews and customer posts that make you credible beyond your own voice.

01Why it works in Japan
Why social is run, not just opened.
Three facts about how Japan uses social channels.
LINE is infrastructure
Used by 74.7% of Japan, across every age group. For consumer brands it is the core of marketing.
Other people's words count
Reviews, customer posts and coverage are third-party evaluation — one of the layers of trust Japanese buyers check.
Silence reads as absence
Continuous communication is another of those layers. An account opened and left quiet works against you.
02What we run
Your channels, and the voices around them.
Two or three channels run well, rather than every platform run thinly.

Before you hand over the accounts.
Do you open the accounts as well?
Opening, verifying and designing a LINE Official Account or Instagram profile is part of Build. Grow is the monthly running of them. If the accounts already exist, we start from what is there.
Which platforms should we run?
Usually two or three, not all of them. LINE is close to essential for consumer brands; B2B companies lean on X and YouTube. Which fit your market is decided by the Market Entry Report.
