UreRu Net Advertising Group: Collaborative Ventures with Horie Takafumi

UreRu Net Advertising Group, based in Fukuoka, Japan, has been making significant strides since its IPO on the Tokyo Growth Market in October 2023. The company, under the leadership of CEO Kaito Koichi Leo, is focused on expanding its reach through mergers and acquisitions and strategic partnerships. As we approach one year and six months since the IPO, the company is taking the opportunity to report on the progress made on several collaborations and initiatives aimed at enhancing their service offerings.

Report on Collaborations with Takafumi Horie (Horie-mon)

In a pioneering move within the D2C marketing sector, UreRu Net Advertising Group has established six official partnerships with various enterprises and projects involving the well-known entrepreneur Takafumi Horie. His recognition in society has been pronounced, especially since prominent leaders like Yoshitaka Kitano from SBI Holdings highlighted the significance of Horie's contributions in a press conference focused on revitalizing Fuji TV.

Kitano emphasized that Japan's ban on innovative figures like Horie was a sign of immaturity in society and underscored the need for a reevaluation of Horie’s talents and actions. UreRu’s strong association with Horie has attracted considerable attention within the business community.

Background on Horie's Collaborations

Since before going public, UreRu focused on delivering specialized cloud services for landing pages and performance-based digital marketing, primarily catering to health supplements and cosmetics in the D2C market landscape. However, for sustainable growth, the company acknowledged the necessity for diversification and evolution of their business portfolio. This led to the proactive engagement with Takafumi Horie for various partnerships, aiming to leverage his influence across multiple sectors.

The ethos of UreRu is to be perceived as a preferred publicly traded company, which should result in direct benefits to both shareholders and company growth. To maintain their visibility in the marketplace, UreRu is enhancing its communication power and investor relations efforts. This includes media appearances by its CEO and participation in numerous initiatives led by Horie, further developing their brand's presence.

Thanks to Horie’s resurgence in public favor, prompted by Kitano’s remarks, UreRu’s collaboration with him is currently perceived as a burgeoning asset, positioning the company favorably within the market.
