Gakufudo Career Welcomes Kio Kunisato as Marketing Advisor
Gakufudo Career, a specialized career support service for the real estate industry operated by Gerbera Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, has announced the appointment of Kio Kunisato as its new marketing advisor. With a wealth of experience in marketing and brand strategy, Kunisato’s expertise is expected to significantly elevate Gakufudo Career's mission to address recruitment challenges within the real estate sector.
Kunisato is renowned for his contributions to prominent companies, including his initial role in launching Pinterest Japan’s advertising business and his position at Voodoo Japan (BeReal.), where he developed advertising and content strategies. His vast experience in digital platform development, marketing, and partnerships, both domestically and internationally, positions him as a valuable addition to Gakufudo Career.
Addressing Recruitment Challenges in Real Estate
The current landscape of the real estate industry often deters students and young professionals due to common stereotypes such as “it looks tough,” “the quotas are strict,” and “it resembles a sports culture.” Consequently, many potential candidates who could thrive in this field are often excluded from consideration before they truly understand what the industry offers.
Despite these misconceptions, the real estate sector provides unique advantages, such as:
- - Developing strong sales and negotiation abilities
- - Mastering numerical skills
- - Participating in significant life decision-making processes
However, these key attributes remain underrepresented in outreach efforts aimed at students and young job seekers. Gakufudo Career aspires to create a fresh entry point into the real estate industry by offering a holistic platform that encompasses education, recruitment, and career development.
The involvement of Kio Kunisato is a pivotal move to reshape students’ understanding and perceptions of this industry. By leveraging his marketing acumen, Gakufudo Career aims to cultivate a more comprehensive understanding among students and shift entrenched perceptions surrounding real estate careers.
Kunisato's Vision
Upon joining Gakufudo Career, Kunisato expressed his enthusiasm for the venture, stating, “I deeply resonate with Gakufudo Career's commitment to bridging the gap between learning and working.” He recognizes that selecting an unfamiliar industry for their first job poses challenges for students. Likewise, companies often struggle to assess candidates’ potential and enthusiasm based merely on resumes and interviews.
Thus, Gakufudo Career’s model, which values practical learning experiences and connects students with companies, has the potential to transform both recruitment practices in real estate and the career choices of young job seekers. Kunisato intends to apply his prior experience in advertising agencies and social media platforms to ensure Gakufudo Career serves as a beneficial pathway for young professionals pursuing real estate careers, driving the entire sector forward.
Gerbera’s Perspectives
Ayuma Yoshioka, CEO of Gerbera Co., Ltd. remarked, “We are thrilled to welcome Kio Kunisato as our marketing advisor. Our aim is not just to reshape the recruitment market but to alter the public perception of the real estate industry.” He highlighted the pressing issue of misinformed notions regarding the hardship and rigidity perceived in this sector, which prompts many students to overlook it prematurely.
In reality, the real estate industry offers an environment conducive to tremendous personal and professional growth from a young age. Gakufudo Career is committed to conveying the true value of the real estate sector to students and continuously creating opportunities for engagement with future talent.
Through Kunisato’s marketing and branding expertise, the company hopes to broaden its reach and establish new standards for the industry.
Gakufudo Career is set to expand its initiatives and continue facing new challenges as it strives to unlock the potential within the real estate industry.
