GeoCode Partners with ONE CRUISE to Expand Customer Base Nationwide

GeoCode and ONE CRUISE Form Strategic Partnership

In a pivotal move for the future of digital marketing, GeoCode Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced a strategic alliance with ONE CRUISE, a prominent player in the web marketing scene headquartered in Sapporo, Hokkaido. This collaboration, ratified on November 27, 2025, aims to expand both companies' customer bases while optimizing their operational resources.

Background of the Alliance

GeoCode, under the leadership of CEO Daisuke Haraguchi, has established itself as a leader in web marketing and cloud sales tech solutions. The firm operates primarily in Tokyo and Osaka, providing services that range from SEO strategies to comprehensive web advertising campaigns. Conversely, ONE CRUISE, led by Shunpei Fukami, also offers internet advertising solutions and possesses branches in major cities such as Sendai, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. The combined expertise in web marketing of both companies positions them at a unique vantage point, enabling them to complement each other's strengths.

The primary objective of this partnership is to enhance resource optimization and facilitate joint customer outreach. Both firms recognize the importance of collaborating to address widespread market demands efficiently, especially in regions where either company may have previously faced challenges individually.

Collaborative Efforts Ahead

With the establishment of this partnership, both firms will explore ways to share expertise among talented teams across various operational roles, including advertising operators, designers, and product developers. Such sharing aims to foster an agile and effective operational environment, enabling each company to better serve new geographical areas and untapped customer segments that were previously difficult to reach.

Additionally, GeoCode's advanced offerings in AI optimization, SEO, web development, as well as cloud sales tools like 'Next SFA' and labor management systems, align well with ONE CRUISE's customer demographics. Through this collaboration, GeoCode plans to introduce its services to ONE CRUISE's clientele, thereby accelerating the growth trajectories of both companies.

Areas of Cooperation

The partnership will cover several key operational areas, including:

1. Advertising Operations: Both companies will work on optimizing advertising operations through resource exchange, sharing information, and exchanging insights. Should either company encounter resource shortages, they will provide practical support through mutual business subcontracting.

2. Sales Activities: The firms will collaborate on sales activities with a specific focus on new customer acquisition, project referrals, and joint proposals within the realm of internet advertising services.

3. Service Promotion and Support: GeoCode’s services in AI optimization, SEO, web development, and various cloud DX services will be promoted to ONE CRUISE's clients, with both companies collaborating in sales efforts and customer support during the installation process.

4. Management Support: GeoCode will also support ONE CRUISE in refining its management systems across finance, accounting, human resources, legal affairs, and governance, offering necessary advice as required.

Overview of ONE CRUISE

Founded on July 11, 2014, and located at the South Cross Sapporo Building, ONE CRUISE boasts a robust foundation, offering comprehensive web consulting services and event production, among other offerings. The company's capital stands at 3 million JPY with Shunpei Fukami owning 100% of its shares.

ONE CRUISE has shown resilience in financial performance over recent years, indicating healthy growth even in fluctuating market conditions.

Looking Ahead

While initial impacts of this partnership may be modest on GeoCode's fiscal outcomes for the period ending February 2026, both companies are optimistic about the long-term benefits this cooperation will yield in enhancing corporate values.

GeoCode is committed to ongoing business expansion strategies, including M&A and other collaborative efforts, to leverage non-continuous growth opportunities for sustained corporate value enhancement.

GeoCode Inc. remains dedicated to supporting businesses in navigating the digital landscape effectively through web marketing and cloud sales tech solutions, thereby contributing positively to the evolution of the marketing industry.
