(TSE JASDAQ 4819; Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan; President & Group CEO: Kaoru Hayashi; henceforth “DG”), as well as two advertising agencies, Dentsu Inc. and Asatsu-DK Inc. Plans will be provided for corporations in a wide range of business categories and conditions and developed to match particular requirements concerning parameters such as time, budgets and numerical targets.

BI.Garage’s mission is to provide corporate clients with “serendipity” (discovery, or unexpected good fortune), which they have yet to discover themselves, through multifaceted analysis of the diverse data available to group companies and strategic partners. As the “ultimate business partner,” BI.Garage strives to expand business and contribute to the development of the industry by putting forward advertising and marketing approaches to bring clients closer to consumers.
