AGO MARKETING Launches an Innovative Consulting Service
AGO MARKETING Co., Ltd., headquartered in Nishishinjuku, Tokyo, under the leadership of Jun Agou, has officially launched its unique management improvement consulting service that fuses generative AI with art. This innovative initiative employs a distinct "Art & Science" methodology aimed at simultaneously enhancing revenue and reducing costs for businesses. The company envisions a sustainable regional revitalization by engaging the power of AI and art to bring gratitude to local communities.
Background of the Business
In the current VUCA era, organizations face increasingly complicated management challenges that traditional consulting cannot adequately address. Small and medium-sized manufacturing firms in rural areas are particularly facing the critical need to improve sales while also cutting costs. While the rapid advancement of generative AI technology presents substantial opportunities for operational efficiency, many companies struggle to find effective ways to leverage it.
Thus, AGO MARKETING aims to respond to these market needs through its innovative consulting services built around the "Art & Science" concept, which integrates creativity (Art) with logic and automation (Science).
Unique Approach: The "Art & Science" Framework
Art Department: Revenue Enhancement Strategies through Creativity
Utilizing marketing strategies, design thinking, and art-based thinking, AGO MARKETING seeks to uncover latent market needs that conventional data and logic may overlook. Through workshops leveraging multifaceted contemporary art interpretation techniques, the company fosters the development of original ideas that competitors may not conceive, thereby facilitating disruptive innovation.
Key services provided include:
1. Problem-solving proposals using design thinking and generative AI.
2. Strategy implementation via the Choice Cascade Model.
3. Art-thinking workshops aimed at creating new business ventures.
4. Comprehensive sales strategy support from AI strategic advisors.

Focus will be on bolstering support for generative AI implementation primarily within small and medium-sized manufacturing firms, contributing to revitalizing Japan's local economies.
