ShapeWin is committed to supporting startups, product innovators, emerging global businesses, and other arising thought leaders of uniqueness, originality, and social significance.
We understand that every client’s needs are different and we tailor our public relations & digital marketing strategies to ensure our client's message reaches its target audience. We engage PR & marketing from a strategic perspective, and follow through with proper branding to deliver superior products and services positioned to appeal with the most optimal audience.
Our Vision for Globalization:
“Building Meaningful Relations between our global clients & the Japanese Market.”
“Kakehashi” is the Japanese word for “bridge,” or “connection point,” but it encompasses a broader meaning beyond its literal definition. As a cultural value, “Kakehashi” emphasizes the importance of bridging divides between different cultures and groups of people. In practice, this means creating mutual understanding and forging bonds with the global community.
For outsiders, the Japanese market can seem difficult to penetrate. That’s why at ShapeWin, we think of ourselves as a “Kakehashi PR Agency,” building meaningful relationships for our global clients in the Japanese market. ShapeWin does more than just create translated marketing materials. We help formulate a public relations strategy that brings our clients closer to the Japanese media and Japanese audiences, so that they can achieve their goals in Japan.
Let ShapeWin be your “Kakehashi".
