The Future of Marketing: Learning from KOBUSHI BEER's Success
On April 1, 2026, a major event will take place at KOBUSHI BEER, located in Shibuya, Tokyo. This gathering, hosted by KOBUSHI MARKETING and led by its representative, Yusuke Inoue, along with Ryohei Katagawa from Peace Flat System, is set to unveil insights into how remote workers and AI technologies are shaping the future of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems.
This session will highlight a unique case study showcasing how KOBUSHI BEER managed to attract approximately 5,000 attendees each year using a fully automated CRM system operated by AI, all without any full-time employees. The collaboration with Ryohei Katagawa allowed the organization to overcome significant hurdles faced in manual CRM management, particularly during a six-month hiatus due to a bottleneck that left the CRM inoperative.
With increasing pressures to adapt to a digitally-driven environment, the ability to integrate AI into the organizational fabric is crucial for competitiveness. The event will cover the development process of an AI-driven selection system that learned from Inoue's judgment logic, thus allowing the system to automate the targeting of communications effectively. This significant shift empowers team members to focus solely on conducting final outreach actions, streamlining workflows and enhancing overall productivity.
KOBUSHI BEER’s strategy not only focuses on mere operational efficiency but also embraces a transformative approach in creating new organizational models using remote workers in conjunction with advanced AI capabilities. This evolution illustrates how organizations can sustain growth even with zero full-time personnel.
