Exclusive Marketing Study Session in Shibuya

On May 20, 2026, KOBUSHI MARKETING LLC will host an exclusive marketing study session in Shibuya. Designed specifically for marketers in charge of B2C products and services, this event aims to provide a platform for knowledge exchange and networking among industry professionals. Participants will have the chance to engage with leading marketers Daisuke Maaki from Tokyu Real Estate and Natsuhiko Kubota, who has a distinguished track record with Nike Japan and Adastria. They will delve into the intricacies of brand strategy with a focus on how to convey the essence of a brand.

The theme of this study group, titled "How to Communicate Brand Temperature," resonates deeply in today’s marketing landscape, where the shift is increasingly toward fan-building rather than traditional advertising. As brands are urged to cultivate genuine connections with their consumers, this event will provide attendees with valuable insights on effective branding by exploring real decision-making processes and on-the-ground perspectives.

This closed session, limited to just 20 participants, targets marketers managing monthly marketing budgets of 1 million yen or more or those aspiring to establish in-house marketing careers. It's a rare opportunity to glean wisdom and strategies from top-notch marketers as you prepare your brand initiatives for the upcoming seasons.
