NanaMari Achieves 11 Consecutive Wins in IBJ AWARD®

NanaMari, a marriage consultation agency specifically designed for engineer men, has proudly announced its achievement of winning the prestigious IBJ AWARD® for the 11th consecutive time during the first half of 2026. This award is not easily attained, as only 13.4% of a total of 4,797 member agencies qualify to receive it, representing a remarkable feat in the highly competitive marriage consultation sector. What sets NanaMari apart is their unique, tailored support system that addresses the specific communication challenges faced by engineers.

Understanding the Necessity of Supporting Engineer Men's Marriage Aspirations

As modern dating apps proliferate, opportunities for meeting potential partners have indeed increased. However, the critical value of supportive guidance from experienced consultants has become more apparent. Engineer men often carry a unique set of strengths and challenges with regard to dating and meaningful connections.

Research conducted by IBJ (IBJ Marriage Future Research Institute) reveals that, in the rankings of various occupational pairs leading to marriage, many combinations featuring engineering and IT professionals consistently rank high. Despite this, many engineers struggle with communication skills, finding it difficult to express emotions or show empathy, a barrier that often prevents them from taking their first steps in the dating scene.

NanaMari has consistently won the IBJ AWARD® because they understand the gap between the favorable data supporting engineers as ideal matches and their individual insecurities. By providing quantifiable and verbalized support tailored to each client, they address these issues effectively.

An additional challenge for those seeking love lies in selecting the right consultation agency. The overwhelming number of choices can be daunting, which is where awards like the IBJ AWARD® serve as an essential compass for potential clients.

The Importance of the IBJ AWARD® in Today's Market

The IBJ AWARD® symbolizes a benchmark of reliability and achievement in an industry now featuring 4,797 membership agencies. The significance of identifying trustworthy agencies based not just on sheer member numbers but also on the consistent quality of service continues to rise. The selection process for the IBJ AWARD® evaluates agencies on three main criteria:
1. Enrollment and Success Rates: Agencies must demonstrate a robust record of successfully guiding clients into membership and marriage, illustrating their commitment to client success.
2. Implementation of Success Principles: Agencies must actively update their operational guidelines and be responsive to the evolving needs of their clientele.
3. Compliance Adherence: Full compliance to legal directives and ensuring transparent communication through various platforms are strictly assessed.

This award isn't merely about accumulating numbers; it reinforces the agency's commitment to sincerely engage with each client, contributing to their lifelong journey toward finding love. NanaMari exemplifies how specialized consultation agencies can leverage personalized support to consistently win accolades, reflecting their dedication to their clientele.

Unique Approach of NanaMari

NanaMari distinguishes itself by focusing on a very small client base. Each member receives personalized attention from the agency’s founder, Yoshimi Sakae, a professional counselor with over 20 years of experience. This one-on-one mentorship covers every stage of the journey from profile creation to marriage—ensuring that clients never lose the thread of their support.

The use of online consultations allows busy engineers from all corners of the country to access counseling sessions without geographical constraints. Furthermore, the agency believes in supporting clients not just until marriage but also through their married lives, addressing future challenges in communication and shared values.

Catchy insights during counseling sessions have revealed some minor yet impactful adjustments that could significantly alter outcomes. Many clients who felt they were consistently rejected discovered that often, just a few responsive words were lacking in their interactions. NanaMari's extensive knowledge led them to create 'Kotore,' a new service aimed at improving communication skills, rolled out in May 2026.

Future Prospects with 'Kotore'

Kotore employs a unique training program that quantifies conversational deficits, allowing for targeted improvements. By analyzing conversations through AI, the initiative provides a customized training regimen focusing on enhancing relational dialogue.
1. AI Conversation Analysis: Actual conversations are recorded and transcribed, highlighting emotional expressions and empathetic responses.
2. Tailored Language Enhancement: Specific gaps in communication are identified using personality insights, leading to personalized training plans.
3. Practice with Experts: Real-life conversational scenarios are rehearsed with professionals to foster invaluable skills.

This tailored methodology ensures that each engineer is not given a standardized course but a unique program that resonates with their personal communication style.

NanaMari strives to continue promoting an environment where engineer men can confidently venture into relationships. With the continued success represented by their IBJ AWARD® accolades, the agency's focus remains on meaningful client transformations over mere membership growth.

Mission Statement

Yoshimi Sakae expressed, "Winning the IBJ AWARD® for the 11th time speaks to our dedication to engage intimately with every client, honing in on their unique characteristics through various assessments. I have witnessed firsthand how even slight adjustments in language can create significant divides. My mission is to unveil each client’s charm and guide them to successful marriages. We are committed to supporting individuals without regarding our past accolades as the endpoint."
