Opt Makes History at Meta Agency First Awards Japan 2025
Opt, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has achieved a significant milestone by winning the newly established
Vertical New Hero - Talent Services award at the
Meta Agency First Awards Japan 2025. This award recognizes agencies that have successfully harnessed Meta's tools to create innovative solutions in the talent services industry. In addition to this, Opt's own planners, Nakamura and Nishimori, received the prestigious
Planner of the Year award, highlighting their excellence in problem-solving for clients through collaboration with Meta.
The
Meta Agency First Awards aim to honor partner companies that have shown exceptional cooperation and outstanding performance in fields significant to Meta’s vision. The awards, which began in Japan in 2022, are now in their fourth manifestation, showcasing the evolution of digital marketing in the country.
Understanding the Achievement
Opt's recognition in the talent services sector is rooted in its commitment to fostering industrial transformation and addressing societal challenges through innovative value creation. Having developed the
ONE's Data® platform, Opt is at the forefront of utilizing data responsibly in the post-cookie era, allowing clients to leverage Meta's
Conversion API—an essential tool for reliable data utilization that respects privacy standards.
Opt has implemented this technology widely, achieving one of the top integration numbers among agencies in Japan. Furthermore, in 2023, Opt won the
Best Solution (CAPI Category) award for optimizing campaign performance, further signaling its prowess in data utilization and client support.
In June 2024, Opt established a
Meta Performance Office, dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness of Meta advertising campaigns. This specialized team, comprised of experienced members in Meta ad operations, assists clients in navigating their unique challenges and maximizes the impact of their advertising strategies. By continuously collaborating with Meta to conduct operational tests and defining new performance metrics, Opt aims to ensure that their advertising efforts yield the highest returns possible.
As a result, Opt has seen a remarkable 180% increase in advertising spend on Meta from July to September 2025 compared to the previous year, indicating a growing recognition of Meta’s tools among clients in industries that have yet to fully exploit these resources.
