A message from the founder
Expanding globally is easier than ever, but entering the Japanese market is still a challenge, with its unique cultural and economical nuances.
Many foreign businesses struggle with low consumer engagement despite their efforts. The reason?
A lack of local insights, cultural understanding, and the right marketing channels.
